In theory the post count should be irrelevant because no one posts just to be paid right? Everyone just posts and you just happen to get a reward for doing what you would be doing anyways...right?
Even if you want to play the moral card and i find it arguable in the first place. The post count is still important, since thats the publicity they're paying for. I'd love to get paid for simply having the signature held on all the 3k whatever posts i have, but thats not how it works apparently.
But i can say without shame that what motivate me to get on my computer, login and check the beginners, mining support and hardware section and then reply to those and give information to people who are asking for information or support, is not the just the good within my soul, but the fact i'll be rewarded with a tiny bit of
BTC for those posts. Its not like i ever, ever got a tip for giving very valuable information from someone i helped, so...
I don't get on to spam useless posts, but i do get on to post useful posts and get a small reward for them.
