Separate sub forum for "Signature Campaigns"

[edmundduke]

Would it be possible to add a separate sub forum for "Signature campaigns" under "services" or "marketplace" ?
Right now when you are looking into the "services" section it is filled up with signature campaigns. if you try to find something else you need to dig through all of the sig topics (and since they are so popular) the service you want might be several pages back.

Since signature campaigns seem to be a big part of the marketing done on the forums and the threads have a high amount of activity i suggest we get them a separate sub forum. This way people who are looking for signature campaigns can look for them under "Signature Campaigns" and the people who are looking for services can find them without having to go through all the signature "services".

Looks like a win-win to me. (i have nothing against sig campaigns i just think they could be organized a little better in the forums)

There are only 20 signature campaigns open right now according to the signature campaign overview thread, and there are 40 threads on each page, so even if all 20 signature campaign threads were on the first page they would only take up 50% of the first page the services section

It's been requested a couple of times before and isn't really needed. A separate sub for twenty threads/campaigns is unnecessary and like Quick said they're all kept up to date in the signature overview thread anyway.

It was just an observation. P.S Quite a few campaigns are not listed there.

Which ones? The thread is kept very up to date and usually the only ones that aren't listed are alt-coin campaigns.

The ones that pay in alt coins and that otherwise do not pay in bitcoin (e.g. affiliate earnings only)  are not listed. Someone really should make a separate thread for these kinds of campaigns although I don't know how much interest those kinds of campaigns would attract

Ah ok that would explain it. I didn't see in the OP that no altcoin ones were listed, my bad
That is what i was thinking, as altcoin part also has a fair number of signature campaigns.

You're free to create one in there if you wish. I thought about creating one but they seem like a lot of hassle to keep updated and I'm not very active in that section. Maybe there's already one somewhere in the quagmire though.

I had this suggestion yesterday.

The main problem is due to campaigns which pay based on post count as it is too tempting to post to increase income. If the forum sets up rules which doesn't allow this then spam will reduce significantly.

I think there should be a sub board for signature campaigns, and they will follow strict rules like they can only ask for a maximum of, say, 20 posts/month and they can't provide bonus or preferential treatment based on post count. The campaign managers would be made accountable if they fail to enforce the rules.

I think your suggestion is not valid, if someone want to wear a sig. ad it is his peronal choice. The point is he must not spam here in the forum, and as you see in these days the admin/global mod have banned a lot of spammers.

Maybe doing so can promote and encourage more signature campaigns to launch?

It won't. The reason not to add is because of the low number of campaigns. If there many campaigns, a new sub-board might be added like a HYIP sub-board was added.

I felt like after the hyip sub forum was added, the hyip sites increased dramatically probably because they know that they now have a more specific target audience within the forum.

Creating a new sub forum for sig campaign might as well do the trick.

I understand but you should know the differences. We *invest* in HYIPs but we *earn* from campaigns. Both are different and also only people who need advertisement create a campaign. Others just do some bidding on other sites.

If anyone wants to create an Altcoin/alternative payment thread based on my overview thread go ahead. You can use my design as well if you ask nicely and include a link back to my thread.

Spammers are hard to control. There are lots of campaign paying per post right now and people would be much more tempted to make lots of posts to gets the coins even if they didn't want to spam. If its a flat posting rate, people would definitely just hit the limit and slow down or stop posting as you won't get paid any further.

I have seen a lot of users that aren't spammer, so at the end it is not a problem of the signature campaign. Also with a fixed rate the content of the post will remain the same. The users must learn the forum rules, it is simple thing  .

I too want a separate form for Signature campaigns. I try to search for jobs which I can do for a bounty but then I need to browse through 2-3 pages in the Services section. I have barely managed to do 2-3 jobs till date as it's tough to even check the new jobs due to continuous replies on Signature Campaign threads.

But if we create this then people will want a separate sub for Jobs and the Bounties and the everything else. Looking through a page or two isn't that big of a deal really and you can always just try use the search button.

Here the fact is that recently many new signature campaigns have been launched and due to this small jobs get overlooked. If the Signature campaigns are in a different section, jobs and bounties can just be in the services section and it will be more relevant for members who want to do a small job and earn bitcoins. Currently, the Service section is just flooded with the sig campaigns.
