No payment is being withheld.
Except for the .17 for the 170 posts that are in dispute, in addition to the .1 that he would potentially be entitled to for being a top poster in the month of January
It's not being withheld since the user wasn't entitled to the payment in the first place.
That is something he obviously does not agree with. You gave examples of posts that you did not count that were allowed according to your rules.
Must be constructive to the thread posted in.
I deemed that those posts were not constructive and thus were disqualified.
The term "constructive" is very subjective. He is clearly disputing the fact they were not constructive. Additionally having 100+ posts that are not constructive is spamming and that much spam would have gotten him banned. From what I can tell he was not - his post history is generally even.
On the other hand someone making 400+ posts in a week and then not posting the rest of the month is a sign that someone was in fact banned.
LOBSTER basically earned 0,6
BTC in 6 days which means 0,1
BTC a day.
Must have been the best sig campaign payout rate
ever.
Spread the same amount in a month and he would have earned 3
BTC with multiple accounts.
I would just like to have this thing cleared up and hope it will not happen again.
Everybody makes errors, it's human.
I assume that bit-x have a certain budget for this campaign.
If people who break the rules still get paid, there is less budget for the remaining people in this campaign.
This month I will try my best to make things fair and either be tough on everyone or allow all posts (even spam ones) through (which I don't want).
This. This is all I'm asking. Same rules for everyone. Thanks.
As I have said, there will be users who get past and may get a few more posts counted while others might be caught and their post count reduced. This should serve as a lesson to not spam.
It's just my posting style (in that thread), and the "spamming" is just the way people talk over there.
The wall observer thread is just a garbage bin filled with trolls and junk posts. It's the place where people come to post and run, especially when they are drunk.
You should not take anything serious over there, you like it or you hate it. We should be happy to have this junk concentrated in one thread and not spread around the forum. But in the end it is the most active and read thread of the forum which gives the biggest exposure to the signatures.
I don't mind to have *all* posts over there rejected, it makes counting easier for you.
I could also imagine that those posts fit in a certain category which is unfavorable for the campaign, fair enough.
But I hate it when it only applies to some people...
My faith in this campaign has been restored with all you said. For a moment I also thought you might own LOBSTER account, but not anymore.
I hope I'm still allowed in this campaign with all my criticism, I would like to re-enroll for the new period if necessary.
I still keep a close eye on the enforcement of the rules.
