Topic: [CFNP] BestChange Signature Campaign | Sr Member+ - page 80. (Read 133465 times)

I idea of pay per post a good solution to fight spam and it will also reduce the company budget but i don't see anything that will make it hard for a genuine user of this forum to make a minimum of 10 posts in a week. Concern the issue of focusing on top 250 merit receivers, in other to be fair with the users that work hard to earn their merit i think those that earn most of their merit through local board should not be on that lists if the OP decides to use it in selecting his participants.

The forum is for free discussions so that if posts or suggestions are not off topic, they are safe from any reports and they won't be considered as spamming. If you or manager think that such posts are off topic, you or manager can report (or anyone else) those spam, off topic posts to moderators. Then moderators will delete it or global moderator will posts in particular discussion to a new thread, in Reputation sub board.

You are still in the campaign so try your best to keep your position. Follow the guides and requirements of manager and make your best posts then if anything comes you won't regret (I should try better, don't regret this way).
Having bonuses weekly for most merit earners will cause a headache for manager, obviously. If I am a manager, I won't go with the idea, especially like you said there are many participants in the campaign.

The earned merits itself can not reflect the truly quality of a poster, there are many bias factors that manager has to take into consideration - that is one of headache type. Another one is complaint from other top merit earners. It is something like an endless headache story.

Merit are subjective like the rule on 5+ paged threads: It is not always true that posts are made in 10+paged thread have lower quality than posts are made in less than 5 paged threads. Not always like that but the point is the potential of exposures. Quality is key, but then locations are next secondary key factor (in which threads, and in which boards / sub boards).

You see, there are a few former participants of Chip Mixer. As you thought, by default they will easily get positions here and stay here forever. But life changes so fast and not smoothly this way. In reality they get positions but lost it because of changes in manager approach. Being a good poster is not enough, it also depends on both company and management strategies within each period as well as the growth speed of other competitors.

Like someone said above, it's a dream comes true for me. I was planned to inform you that i can't reach the minimum quota for this week in a pm. I really liked the new terms, this will help participants avoid a lot of stress.
Thanks CM. Glad to be a member in your team.   

The campaign has been running smoothly for more than half a year under the same manager. I suppose he/she has already gotten the hang of it despite the fact that he/she hasn't had a single Bitcointalk campaign managed prior to handling this one. It means to say he/she has sufficiently proven that he/she is more than capable of doing it.  

However, ideas are always welcome, I believe. After all, that's for the betterment of this overall campaign which has no other goal but to efficiently spread BestChange's brand of service. And I guess that's the very reason why the OP has this:


So we might as well make use of it and try to salvage this thread from becoming a free-for-all suggestion thread.

I can see that a lot of posts suggesting new rules for the campaign are coming from those who are not participants and want to join the campaign. The manager has been here for long time and I'm very certain he knows how to improve and get the best out of the campaign. Repeated suggestion of already considered ideas are not necessary. If he sees anything to work on. I'm sure he will do it.  Repeated suggestion is also part of spamming

I like to see an improvement here. Pay per post is a good solution to fight the spam.
Any campaign putting a minimum posts requirement is pushing their participants towards the inevitable low quality posts, which is sad.
If you let people post as much as they want to and focus on the top 250 merit receivers then you will have a successful and positive exposure, eliminating the spam level almost to 0, which is good not only for the company's reputation but fot the forum as well.

I might join your campaign when I return if there's a free sopt of course. Good luck

This will be possible after a week or two when the manager would have checked to see if all the participants are not meeting up with the maximum post requirement, I believe.

Not bad step
even you can increase some more participate (if you want)

Heck, heck, heck!
I just can't believe my eyes when I see this. Trust me Bestchange, I was literally going to ask you for this because of the fact that we love flexibility and so it allows us to go for less minimum number than a fixed one. That minimum posts reduced to 10, ahh seriously I was going to PM you about this a few days back but I believe that God listens my wishes closely. 
I'm super-duper happy with your decision and truly appreciate it.

Good decision..
This new regulation is also flexible and effective. And of course, the BestChange can evaluate this over time.
Success continues to BestChange and Hopefully, we will continue to contribute better and always increase our post quality.

Great step, to be honest, I was thinking how much good it would be if bestchange would be following the campaign rules of Chipmixer where there's no minimum. Sometimes, it's hard to maintain 25 posts per week. For example, this week I had hard times posting each day since it was Eid-UL-Azha here and I was very busy. Anyway, I think from now, everyone will be able to put their best to generate good quality which will be benefitted for Bestchange eventually in both in term of promotion and cost I think.

This wouldn't be a good idea in my opinion. Some people may abuse merit system too if it's not properly taken care of. If I'm correct, there was stake signature campaign where there was bonus for good quality poster and at the end, it ended as a lot of abuse.

They already pay way much better than most campaigns around here on top of having so many participants so i don't think bonuses are necessary. In fact if i wasn't so busy, I would have also tried joining this campaign. It's just that my current one requires only 50 posts per month.

Even if bonuses are introduced, there would still be people who wouldn't care about the bonuses and if they were spammers,  they will continue Spamming for normal pay only. That has ever happened in bustadice campaign too and they continually get kicked out.

What the purpose to add that as a rules? Are you mean merit is the way to prove someone is a good poster?

IMHO, you couldn't judge someone if he is good or bad poster just look from his merit history, because merit is subjective. You can earn it not only being a good poster, but making people laugh of your post (creating meme or have a good sense of joke). The best way to judge his post is check his post history... and I think the managers actually know it before.

A quick check from me, I don't find any single participants doesn't earn 1 merit since the start of the campaign. So, no one will be kicked.

I mean they should earn at least X amount of merit per month, or they're kicked. Anybody who hasn't earned at least 1 merit since the start of the campaign, should also be kicked IMO.

I was in Bustadice before I joined BestChange and I got that bonus quite often often, and I admit it was a nice thing to see your name among those 4 that shared 100 USD (rule says up to 5 but in reality its always 4).
 But as you said, BestChange has much bigger number of participants (58 compared to 16 in Bustadice), so it wouldn't be an easy thing to do, to choose few winners each week. It would take a lot of extra effort.

More like flexible one.

Thanks BestChange I think all will agree on this new term.

There are some campaign who utilized bonus system.
Like this one on Bustadice:


What if BestChange have something like this too. Im sure everyone would be eager to post contructively as having bonus for quality post is really sweet. But of course just a mere suggestion, as BestChange already covered a lot of payments weekly. Also I think its gonna be tough to choose with 58 participants if ever.

Great move bestchange. It’s really a great step to reduce spam. Sometime it also helps to reduce the pressure of participants. I really like this idea. Thanks bestchange for making this change in payout system.

If you check the application form you will see that Best Change already included merit as a factor when choosing new participants. Minimum needed is maybe not explicitly set, but it is obvious that it is something that they do check.

Regarding this new change, more wiggle room, the better. And this new rule gives a lot of wiggle room.

Since the new terms do not worsen the position of the participants, but make them better, the new terms take effect immediately.

I'd recommend adding a merit requirement for all new applicants from now on. This will help to reduce spam, since those that haven't obtained any merit usually don't know how to contribute valuable discussion to the forum.
