Topic: An appeal to all my fellow Cryptotalk signature campaign participants! - page 2. (Read 621 times)

You would think that's the case but it's not. So many users whether in fixed amount of posts per week campaigns or pay per post campaigns are posting all their posts as quickly as possible in order to move on to their other account.

I'll be grading a campaign and see that some users do their 25 posts over the course of 1-2 days. Then they do not login again til the next week. I normally issue a warning to a user when I see this and if they do it again, remove them.

Another issue when speaking about junk posts is your view on junk/spam may be different than the poster or mine. This goes for the whole forum. Everyone's view on what is or isn't spammy is different. Everyone has a different idea of what should and shouldn't be allowed on bitcointalk. I think part of that problem is certain sections shouldn't be allowed to be counted in any campaign. Mainly all the discussion boards sections. Those sections are filled with tons of junk threads that will only bring junk responses. Unfortunately, the users junk responses are on point and about as constructive as can be given the thread and its content. Ultimately it is the managers decision on what's accepted or not accepted, but it's not as easy as well you post junk you're out.

With cryptotalk I have no control over the sections counted or not counted, so I cannot implement this sort of rule. I would suggest that most users in the campaign only look to make 5 or so posts per day. Worrying about making the max everyday and getting paid will only hurt you in the long run. Not only do you have to worry about me banning you in the campaign, you have to worry about losing the account. Just because the rules say you CAN do 20 per day, doesn't mean you should.

This may come out the wrong way, but ... a few tips ... I'm not even in the campaign (i'm in a different one, with different rules) ... Do more than the minimum required in terms of post quality, in terms of minimum characters.

I personally do not see any sense in a lot of posts that are just less than 100 characters. You really need a couple of sentences to express your thoughts or ideas clearly. Bump posts are clearly made for only one purpose. "I agree" posts are useless, maybe there should just be a "Like" button but any little metric that gets added to this forum eventually gets gamed, or something.

As for the so called "time limit" ... the problem lies in users posting everything they can in 2 or 3 hours. If you really must treat this as a job to earn some money, then put in the hours like any other job, 10 hours a day or something = that means 1 post every 30 minutes while you are awake = 20 posts a day spread over 10 hours. High quality posts. Not random blabbering trolling posts, unless that's what you do in other threads (some people just do this, they aren't getting paid, and they're having fun or entertainment just trolling others.)

There are normal people out there working 16 hour days just to earn, working 2 jobs too.

I think the other problem is the maximum that the campaign pays out. If they just copied every other campaign that required only 20, 25 or 30 per week (I see the average is about 25 per week) then we wouldn't have all this spam and low quality junk.

The massiveness of the campaign also indicates its potential longevity. Too many posts. Too many users. Too much payments to too many people = short lived campaign. Controlled ones tend to last months or years.

This will probably last longer than the previous one.

Ok, I'll go back to lurking. Have a nice day!

This answers your question:

Thanks, I guess
On a side note: I don't care about burst posting, I sometimes run into the "your last post is less then 4 seconds ago"-error, and I don't care if my post is 1 word or big enough to spread it over multiple posts (the maximum is 64 kB per post). What matters if whether or not your post is relevant, and I'm confident my campaign manager knows very well which posts do or don't deserve payment. As a forum member, I'm glad I don't need to think about that.

It's much easier: it's a battle between earning $20-30 today (and getting banned), or earning a slightly lower amount every day. Put some effort in.

I'm glad to see less and less CT.org-signatures from users who didn't earn any Merit. There are still many low-quality posts, but at least it's improving with yahoo62278's ban hammer.

Campaign manager (Yahoo) is locked the thread because of lot of spam and useless comment.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52628107

BTW. what happened to the Cryptotalk signature thread? it's been a few days since I am not seeing their thread in the first page of Services Section. otherwise it was always getting bumped by random spammers.
is the thread itself is locked or I am the only one who can't see it anymore.?

I should have saved some of my merits for this kind of post, but I'm out of merit now,  Cryptotalk offers a big challenge for us here in Bitcointalk because Yobit finally got a good manager to handle things and we have seen how many people are very eager to make easy money in just a short period of time.

On my last Yobit campaign just this year, I have to control my temptation to finish the 20 post maximum just to cash out, and I've seen some participants finishing it in less than 2 to 3 hours, it's been a battle between easy money and how you cultivate your posting habit here in this forum, I choose the latter although there's a big temptation to finish it in 3 hours, I'm glad those spammers are out of this campaign.

  

As long as the smell of "free money" is there yoshit and its associates will be using this forum to prepare nuptial rites and make it a breeding ground for spammers. Are you not horrified seeing all the negative trusted accounts bustling in to join this campaign for the last 2weeks?

We should actively report any post that comes to our notice which goes offtopic or low quality post. Getting their posts removed would deter their post quota and increase their chances of getting banned. Its actually a good thing if some negged trolls get banned.

They will make new account but the merits system will block them from ranking up too soon.

OP you write a nice post with good tips. but I also think that any of 211 banned users or users with same post rating will read, understand and accept advice from such a long post. the only thing they understand is the manager's ban hammer but then is too late.
they just won't accept any advice, they just think they make a few bucks. you tried, but I don't think it will have any effect to "critical" users.

I am actually impressed by Op for taking time out to put this together because it shows the heart of a selfless individual to do that thinking beyond what he could gain and its impact to the community as a whole. Its also good to try in his own little way to correct the impression that ''everybody participating in that campaign, are just spammers without conscience''. For Op, you have done well. The rate of banning in this campaign is something that is alarming a whole 211 members nuked, I imagined what would happen should they not have manager at all. While there have been threads and counter thread where suggestions have been made on how to run this campaign better, I think the solution is to limit the number of participants in this campaign as without that, its just a solution that wont last long that we will be facing after which there should be a form of evaluation before acceptance into the campaign by the manager unlike this that you wear the signature codes and your post starts counting right from that moment.

You forgot something or missed out on a fact?
The old campaign had no one managing it but this time Yahoo is there and we all should help him out in every way we can. I don't know if he is being paid or not by Yobit to do this job and you might call that it's his business to get users come on the right track or get removed, but helping him out without being selfish 'by not having the feeling to get something in return' will proudly keep this campaign run longer and the forum be neat and clean.


I am not wasting my time here nor yours 'and anybody thinking that I am wasting their time - may please leave the thread', if I get to have at least one user of this forum turn out to be good after reading this and take the sense out of my advice, my purpose will be served. It is not just about Yobit but all those campaign participants out there. There is a participant in Chipmixer campaign who makes more than 'on an average' 100 posts each week but he is himself unique in his own class and nobody here can match his quality, work and dedication to the forum - LoyceV I'm talking about. Those who make 20 posts a day, I do not have any issues with them unless they are all high quality and not shit just to make that penny. If you put efforts and give some time and if you don't get paid for that, I strive to come in your favor myself and show what kind of support I can give while being a stranger.


I am sorry, but you don't know how much will power and anger against such guys do I have in my heart so don't try to judge it please. I can win a lost battle as I M Possible.

I think the OP has a few valid points. However I find this new signature campaign users quite annoying. I see so many ‘fake’ interest posts, just to get higher signature payment. I think such users should be warned and banned if they don’t change such behavior. I also saw the signature campaign manager is doing a good job, but still even some users really trigger me in a bad way by their shitpost style.

You misunderstand his point. He is stating the old yobit signature campaign on that statement. Let's be honest here, We are all joining the signature campaign here with the sole purpose of earning money on each post that we made here. But spam posts or low-quality posts just to earn are two different stories. Cryptotalk signature campaign have the same goal on other signature campaigns. The difference is the maximum possible post on each day which agreeably quite high. But they never stated to mandatory hit that max post, It's up to the participants if they will do that. A normal user here will not hit that target post consistent daily.



Why not? briefing colleagues on what is right is a good idea. We can't deny the fact that there are participants on cryptotalk campaign are just spamming just for quick bucks but not all. You will see after few months. Yahoo will gonna filter all participants.

Just a suggestion. Cryptotalk should close the registration on the campaign. It's a bit flooded at this moment. And also buying/selling of accounts right now is already rising and very active due to this campaign.

Good efforts! But, I feel that you have missed these 2 things:

1. You might need to move this topic into service discussion or  beginners & help board.
2. You may need to open a new thread in Self-moderated mode so that you may keep this efforts cleaner and up to the point of its purposes. For the same reason, @Yahoo locked their Cryptotalk signature campaign thread.

Thank you for your effort and your care on the forum, hopefully they will listen but I doubt those spammers will even read in your post and if ever they will read, they would not stop spamming.

Maybe this is very effective if we cryptotalk has no signature campaign manager but since they have yahoo now, spammers might take advantage but they will not last in the campaign.

By looking at this thread -https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5188200.0, I'm pretty sure it will make them aware how strict the manager of this campaign in banning members who are not following the rules. As of now, we have 211 members banned already.

If there soul purpose isn't to make money through spamming the forum then there are other forum friendly signature campaigns to enroll in but guess what, their accounts are dormant and no managers (campaign) will accept them as promoters since the quality of their post can't be accounted for.

Don't get why you're wasting your time trying to advice those who aren't interested in this sort of advice. All they're after is the quick bucks cryptotalk offer via yobit panel. This is the closest most of them can get to a signature campaigns, you think they won't take full advantage of that not minding the repercussion?. You just fighting a lost battle.

An appeal to all my fellow Cryptotalk signature campaign participants!

Every user here who was willing to join a campaign and then they got Cryptotalk (Yobit) signature campaign, please read these etiquette to save yourself from getting banned, not just from the campaign but from the forum too 'You read that right'.


Don't participate if your sole intention is just to make money through this

You know, you understand that this is not the old Yobit campaign where users spammed the forum and made us feel like we are in a hell with no healthy discussions but bs replies just for the sake of making that extra penny, but this time the heat is on and you are not going to be here sooner or later if you have joined this (or any) campaign just to make money. Do you speak to people and then ask them money for your time? No, right? Do you ask your parents, siblings, relatives, friends and whoever belongs to you, to give you anything as a reward just because you helped them? Expecting something in return will leave you alone in the long run, that's how it is everywhere and even here on the forum, if you post normally for your interests and not to meet your daily min/max quota, I'm sure you will never find yourself in any trouble 'except for the plagiarism cases'. You should trust my words that managers and others helping them by reporting you are not fools sitting there, they have a reason to do so and you have your destiny in your hands, not them. Yahoo checks everything and you all know he does his job very well. Watching someone remained inactive for months and now has started making 15-20 shitposts every single day will get you caught not just in the eyes of Yahoo but forum moderators too, so think at least 10k times before you do that as it will only get you banned in max 3-5 days 'I guarantee it'. This type of campaign is for those who don't want minimum requirements and can freely post without the fear of meeting those minimum 15-20-25 and some even 30 posts.


Don't burstpost

It is obvious that if you don't want to wait and need that money that has been put on the table by Cryptotalk (Yobit) in a few hours, you will just see some threads and start posting there without understanding the subject which could be out of your knowledge or interest's reach. Then after 2-3 minutes or even 5, let's say 10 minutes, find another thread and shit post there. This way, you think that you will reach your max in just 3 hours 'well yes you can but then you will be kicked out with no pay as well as banned from this campaign and other campaigns if other managers unite and decide to follow Yahoo's Cryptotalk blacklist'. I will not explain burstposting nor give you the link to Yahoo's post where it is explained in a very good way, you should show some efforts, find it, learn those rules and then come back and you may be saved from getting a ban ahead.


Put some efforts, this is what they need

If I ask "What is blockchain?" and your reply is "Blockchain is a chain of blocks", this shows your level of knowledge and that you didn't put any efforts to try and find more, learn more about it and then post but you wanted that buck so you posted. This just increases spam in the thread and nothing productive could be reached/derived out of the conversation because people start their own off-topic discussions to just stretch the thread longer and longer and longer. You don't have the right to join any signature campaign if you don't know anything and are here just for free money, nothing is free in this world and just like IRL, you need to work for these companies for them to pay you for the same. Spamming leads to nowhere but undeniable bans. If you don't read, then set a habit to start reading first before responding because there are almost 1.5 mn members on the forum and everyone has got a reply with them so check if "your answer" was already answered by someone before. No need to repeat things. It took me around 20 minutes to write this post because I put in my effort to understand and then help you out by making you learn what not to do to remai a part of this (and many more future) signature campaign's'. How much is it? Around 2 bucks per post, right? Get out of your home, ask some stranger to help you out with $1, yeah just $1 and see what he will do. He will either ask you to get away or kick your ass and throw you on the road. That is because everyone knows the value of money and if BTC is money you are trying to earn, you should put in your efforts and work for it, I repeated these words with an example to make you understand it better.


Don't get nuked

I have seen many high reputation accounts getting banned from the signature and talks are going on about banning these people from the forum as well (I'm against this and I'll come up with something on this). If you do all the things as stated above, you will always remain safe because then, you won't be spamming but making reasonable posts.


Don't make this your last campaign ever landed in

If you are a knowledgeable, sensible person; my point will go straight to your heart and make you understand everything. So that's all for now, I'll be coming with that forum ban thread soon.

P.S. Mods please move this to a relevant part of the forum if this is not the right place for this thread.
