Topic: Checking your posting history a day before weekly posting ends - page 2. (Read 476 times)

True that. I see in campaigns that participants complain how they did not get paid. It is unfair because they make exact required posts or 1 to 2 additional posts but on the counting time of managers, their posts were moved to Off-topic or deleted/ or topic was trashed. Trash is trash and let accept risks when they choose shit topics to post.

They break the rule you said, write post when have important idea to discuss, don't write post when you don't have constructive things to say. Shit topics need to be trashed and don't need discussions.

They are campaign participants who don't rip off campaigns. They are respected members and very different than burst posters. I discussed it there

I do not care if some people go against this, but I believe it will help some good posters, especially some newbies that have just raked up and joined signature campaigns. I did not create this thread for shit posters.

Thanks for the fourth suggestion, I have included it.

People are misunderstanding this topic, it is not about shit posters, it is not also about monitoring your post all the time, that is why I colored the number 3 which is the main reason I created this topic, that for paying campaigns that have certain number of posts we should make to be eligible for payment, we should try to check out posting history a day before the end of the weekly posting. That is why I previously commented that 20 posts are needed in my current campaign, but I do make 30 or more but yet I do track my weekly posting a day before campaign manager will count it. Or is it not making any sense by giving myself rest of mind and also which I believe can help others.

In a way, yes. I was thinking, if you are always counting your weekly posts, and you either make more posts or cease from posting based on your count, that could mean you are only doing something in compliance of a certain rule or for the sake of meeting a certain target. There's a world of difference between making a post because you have something important to say and making a post because you need to say something.

It always amazes me how certain members of the most prestigious campaign here on the forum do not even make effort to meet a quarter of the number of weekly paid posts. I mean, apparently they just participate in the discussions unmindful of the price value of each of their posts.

If post quota is 25, let's make it up to 30 and you will be ok if you choose good topics to post as rule 4.

Spend time to read topics and choose good ones to posts is challenging. The bull run brings more shit topics that can not be moved to Off-topic board but they are shit topics.

It is bad advice that makes posters think of quantity over quality. They can make shit posts or burst posting with the only reason behind: get the min or max post quota. Min quota help them to stay in campaign, not be kicked out. Max quota help them to rip off campaigns with their bursting and shit posts.

Overall, the topic is bad because if you focus on monitoring your weekly posts, you will not focus on what you write.

Check Signature Campaign Guidelines (read this before starting or joining a campaign)

Honestly, I don't follow my post count and in all these years when I'm in signature campaigns I didn't get paid only once after failing to reach post quota. I checked it only few times when I had very bussy weeks and didn't had time to post much. I only check spreadsheet after getting weekly payment and I see that usually I make 23-25 posts, sometimes when I have enough time up to 30, when my campaign requires just 20. I don't even talk about not eligible posts (deleted threads, moved to off-topic, Serious discussion and etc. Finally, even if I don't reach quota, it's not an end of world.
And now only signature campaign without minimal post requirement is Chipmixer. I guess such advertising model isn't best for advertisers, especially if they can't offer big payment rates.

Yes, TryNinja's bitcointalk bot notification can help to know when the parent post or topic that you posted under is nuked, but if the topic is moved, the bot will not notify, the topic can be moved to off-topic or a board that will not count for weekly payment. But about the parent post deletion, the bot will accurately notify people which you can also check about. This is a good suggestion but yet it is very good and useful to track you posts a day to the end of weekly post.

It's better to join a campaign that has no minimum post requirements or has very low requirement, like 5 or 10 posts. So if for some reason you won't be able to meet the full quota, you will never lose money for all the posts that you have made. Also, if you're a member of such campaign, you don't have to force yourself to post if you don't have anything to say, which means your post history will have less low-quality posts, and in the long run you'll be more likely to get hired in even better paying campaign, if that's your goal.

you can try using TryNinja's bitcointalk bot notification. you can check the thread or ask TryNinja whether he added a feature for notification for deleted topics since I remember him mentioning about he could add a notification for deleted topics.

edit: here, I found his thread [TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+). also, looking at the feature there is a "trashed topic notification" I guess a notification for a deleted topic has been added to his bot.

Don't post just to make up for the weekly posting quota of any campaign you're in and that's always the best advice for anyone in a current signature campaign. I never blame the manager when I don't get paid because a post is deleted or a topic is moved to a board that doesn't count as off-topic because each campaign has clear rule about where and how much it take to get paid. When I don't get paid, it mean I have to admit that I don't qualify.

If you are in a camp its your responsibility to check if you meet the weekly quota since posting enough or based on the quots given is not guaranteed there are so many changes will happen in the forum and as you said your post might get deleted without you knowing.

So to avoid getting not paid by manager always remember this.

Always check youe post count a day before the cut of f or the manager is ready to count the post on the next day

Also check your signature  campaign threads, there might be a changes regarding on new sig and avatar updates since I once not gotten my payments due to this reason.

There are also those users who will just go inactive after they meet the weekly post quota in a pay per post campaigns. They will almost do a post burst within a day and just call it a week after they meet the minimum.

We should stop posting simultaneously with few seconds different, first hourly to avoid making your daily posts look like spam, I post in the morning, afternoon and evening, that's even if there is something good to comment about or there is a good topic to create

- message when whole topic gets deleted, just like you receive message when individual post gets deleted

- message when topic is moved to other section

These two would come handy for hunters although I doubt forum will implement this since most people seem to dislike bounty hunters.

Thanks for this post. The main reason I created this topic is for users to make sure they monitor their post counts because some of the posts made can be moved to non-eligible boards for post count, this will help them to make appropriate corrections before the week ends. We do not know when such can happen, even as I always make more than 10 to 20 more than the post required, I still do track my post history a day to the end of posting week as it is helping, giving me rest of mind.

That is correct, but I included it which is the 6th, that posters should not spam, spamming fit into this category.

9. Stop posting just to fill the signature quota, especially when it comes to a useless topic that is likely to end up as offtopic.
Probably any full member and up can recognise what is nonsense posting, and it is better not to write it. They will certainly don't need to look back on whether their post has been deleted or moved to a non-payable section.

It's not the campaign manager's fault when a participant did not meet the minimum or maximum post needed to be paid. The campaign did state the rules easy and clear that "Post made in board or sub-board like off-topic, local board, games and rounds, investor-based games are not counted". It's not the op that moved the topic to that board and that just means that the topic in that thread is not suitable for the board where it is posted.

We have to understand that posting on the forum shouldn't be seen as a job, sorry but this statement kind of make it feel that way (might have misunderstood it though). Before you join a campaign you should already have read their rules and make sure it suits your style of posting. Campaigns shouldn't make you go posting on boards you don't have passion for as that'll turn you into a spammer instead it should be an additional rewards you receive for your engagement on the board you're familiar with.

You can thread through this thread I created years back titled; [Guide] Factors to consider before joining paid signature campaigns. I highlighted this point, consider boards post count are accepted in before joining a campaign. If you do this then you won't have to worry about your point 2 mentioned above 'Making sure you post on the board that will count for weekly payment.

If you're not into gambling then stop joining campaign that requires you to post in that board. Ignoring this is the reason we see high level of spam on selective boards. To get the best from the forum, you don't have to treat it like an office Instead a learning/corrections platform/community and you'll enjoy your stay here.

That is true, I noticed this too that some members do make just exact numbers of minimum post required for weekly posts, this is a sign that such people are not passionate about the campaign they are. I will include that right now.

8. Stop making only marginal number of posts.
Example: A campaign needs minimum x number of posts and I see a lot of users are making only x number of posts in the given week. This gives me few negative impressions:

- The users is a signature spammer, not a genuine regular poster, pretending to be in conversations, do not care about the community, cheating with the campaign manager and the project team.

I hate to pay them and to be in my campaigns.

---

Ironically, when anyone who is following above 7 rules (number 2 to 8.) - are not actually genuine forum users but high class signature spammers. Signature payment should be something that you get for things you are already doing without giving any extra efforts.

I do see some people that have quality weekly posts but were not paid by the campaign managers because they did not meet up the task given them to accomplish, this may not be the fault of the posters until the posters noticed his ignorance caused him to lose the weekly payment. I remembered there was as time I joined Ownr wallet signature campaign, participants needed to make 20 posts weekly, I posted 22. I was not paid because 4 of my posts were moved to off-topic and I lost the weekly payment. I noticed my fellow full member were not also paid, the first user had 21 posts but only 18 were eligible for payment while the second user had 27 posts but only 19 were eligible for payment. This was a mistake from full members which were newbies about signature campaigns. I noticed it do also happen to old members but not usual.

It is good to keep to the rules of a campaign, there are may other ways someone will be serious but yet will not receive the weekly wage because of ignorance. That is why I am using this post to make other people aware of how they can have quality post, post more than the minimum numbers required for weekly payment and yet not paid because some of their posts have been moved to boards that are not eligible for weekly posts that will be counted to receive weekly payment.

What to keep in mind to be able not to miss the weekly payment

1. It is always good to read the rules of a campaign
2. Making sure you post on the board that will count for weekly payment (though that does not limit you to only posting on eligible boards)
3. Check your post history and count the eligible posts a day to the end of one successful week of posting
4. Making more than the minimum post required for weekly payment. If the minimum is 20, you can make 30 or more. Let your posts have good quality.
5. Make sure the topics you post under have high quality, some topics can be deleted which will result to the deletion of the whole thread.
6. Make sure a topic is not having off-topic characteristics before posting there, some topics on eligible boards will later be moved to off-topic
7. You should not spam, plagiarize or have low quality posts

I was very unhappy to have a good posting week but yet I was not paid because my some of my posts were moved to off-topic, try to always monitor your posts, count it like a day before the posting week will end. If some have been moved to non-eligible boards, you will still have one day to make corrections.
