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

Today I just checked my posting history, though I was expecting this and it happens that two of my posts in the gambling section on the same thread has been moved to off-topic, some people may have many posts under that thread.

New users participating in campaigns should not fall for this mistake. Also it is best to see the forum posting as fun and post more than require for weekly post counts.

If you're frequently a good poster here, there's no need to count your post towards the whole week just to meet the signature campaign weekly quota.  If your habit can able to have 4-5 posts daily, that's too much count total posts for the weekly quota, (4 posts x 7 days = 28posts) for sure you will give a better shot for every post not to spam just like keep engaging in a mega-threads which commonly posts and replies there are redundant or consider as a spam.

So if you're doing this, you don't have a problem checking your post history, you know that your posts are genuine and informative or contributing a lot in the forum for sure it will not be deleted.  Especially a thread that has content more of technical stuff, it will not delete for sure.

For now, just move on and improve your posting style.

So, we are here for posting? Thank god. I didn't know this until now. Your thread made me realize that how important posting here is.

Although I doubt theymos would ever implement this, it would be good for everyone (not only for sig campaigners) to keep in touch with what's happening in threads we are engaging.

Do you think bitcointalk will make these changes so that the signature campaign participants don't miss out on their weekly quota ? No way as this is not the main purpose of the forum.
Simple, if a person can't recheck / recount his posts before the end of week time, then such person deserve not to be paid.

I thought the campaign manager has the final say on weekly post-quota because I've seen so many campaign managers;  like Hhampuz most of his weekly post quota is 20posts / week and just recently he reduced the weekly post quota of Roobets from 20 to 15 posts weekly.


How do you post this without spamming the heck out of the forum, I think the moderator on these boards needs to set a general sig/bounty rules to help reduce spam.

Sometimes, no matter how hard we fight to cheat, many alternative accounts participate in subscription campaigns. Or even they do not violate the rules of the companies, but still having several accounts on the forum, they take part in several signature companies. Just imagine how much spam these accounts can generate. They write the same thing on several similar topics, and, naturally, they are only interested in quantity, not quality. And after verification, most of their messages are deleted.
Also, I've been sending reports to moderators for two or three weeks now that 2 users kojektea and indo1 violate rule 32, thereby filling the quota for the company signature. Moderators regularly combine such messages, but the user himself cannot figure out why his messages are decreasing.
It is useless to fight with such users, as long as the participation of altos in different companies is allowed, we will see such posts regularly.

Obviously and I'm also ok with the minimum post requirements before you get paid but it shouldn't be very tasking. Like the 10/15 is ok any active member of the forum can do that without much challenge. These project that come adverting are investing their funds that if they buy ad lots on the forum or other more active platform would probably get more audiences for the cash they're spending especially when you calculate how much they're paying per post.

So it should me minimum post count and no must reach post count to get pay, that way the participants would have to be active to some extend but would get pay for posting for that week irrespective of what number of post they post provide it has passed the minimum that's isn't much demanding. Can't give an exact number but I think 10/15 is quite decent, although the final decision is that of the campaign owners.

Most advertisers (including myself) would disagree. When you need to advertise, that's the time when you want the most outreach.

For instance, if I'm a casino owner and there's a some new game mode I'd want to promote, I need the word spread out quickly. Hence the minimum weekly quota + characters so there's an assurance that I'm getting the impressions I need for that week.

For the budget conscious or brands without dynamic contents to show off, sure but logically advertisers want results/ ROI as soon as possible.

I agree. So its best move from bestchange my signature that they change their rule of it cause before it was 25 post requirement for signature now it doesnt have much qouta. So everyone can post at their own pacing. Not everyone who are in signature afe actively posting to reach post counts. Some are really just posting if they saw some interesting topics to join with.

Stake.com signature runs the same posting rules where you are being paid per post made and not necessary that you must meet a required minimum post per week before you receive payments. Allowing people to post at their speed is a good idea and it could help reduce the number of spam posts cause not everyone is capable of contributing 20 posts per week

I dont think we need to count our post towards weekly requirement. As a forum user whom wears signature, we should not concern with the total number of post. Except for those campaign that have minimum no. Of post needed. Thats why I like bestchange and chipmixer rule that doesnt have required number of post. You can post if you want too and not pressure with the prerequisite.

Some think of it as a job so if theres a required 15 or 20 post they are limiting their post to that which shouldnt the case. I often have a lot of excess in a post and ai dont mind the gap since I like posting on those topic that Ive posted.

Well like I have said, I understand what you're trying to do here as I have created related topics in the past. If I was to add some thoughts I'll simply say, if you don't want to miss out on your weekly pay and not having to monitor your weekly post count (which should be the case), then you have to watch the type of campaigns you join.

Don't go joining a campaign just because the payrate is above others without been a frequent posters in those board they're interested in or writing as much posts they need per week. Everything boils down to the campaign you're enrolled in and your aim on the forum. If you enjoy writing and making valuable contributions to the forum then most campaign quota won't be a problem for you to fill without having to change everything about your posting habit/style or monitor your posts.

From my perspective, a signature campaign required maximum count of post in order to achieve their objectives because i notice that making exactly total number of post which is the requirements of the campaign is not really impressive enough, so making a numerous posts showcase the images of the platform or site, i know that some people personal interest to make post, is to get to campaign weekly payment quota, but from me i think its a negative idealogy, and it can bring setback of the company, even though a campaign have total number of post from their participants, i believe that a participant suppose to make above the demand of the company.

Yeah, it happens a lot I've seen so many good posters complaining on meta about their posts being deleted or moved to irrelevant board, sometimes things happen for a reason best known to the admin. Oh yeah I do count my post and make sure everything is in place a few hours before weekly posts count  although my argument was that I hate counting my posts on daily basics I only sometimes go through my posts 3 times in a week.

Maintaining quality posts for over a week was never an easy thing it is very frustrating whenever you fall short on the post count and you ended up getting no payment at all. Even though the time given is long enough, it is mentally tiring to make quality posts that fits to the topics and part some knowledge for other people. I always make extra posts whenever I reach my quota so that if ever one or more than two of my posts are deleted or moved to non-eligible boards, it will still make it to the required post count for that certain week.

Your number 3 below is just a conscious effort to get paid and I think it will make the poster try to rush in some post where some where moved out from required thread for payment, like off topic. Rushing in burst may turn into burst posting and I see some managers not pay some posters because of that.


What about taking it to be a fun and contribution made instead of burst posting, the posters can wait for another week. Or another option is to calculate how many post per day you require to meet up in a week and add maybe one or two more posts each day , keep to such spacing and you truly don't need to go checking your post count because it is the job of the manager to do that.

This is exactly what I am saying, assuming you had only 30 posts while you needed 20 minimum number of posts for the signature campaign, I believe good posters can have such good amount with quality posts within a week, if 15 posts were deleted, that means you will need 5 more posts, if you did not monitor your post count, you will lose the weekly payment, you were only luck that only 15 posts were deleted, if your weekly posts were deleted and remained only 19 that counts for payment,  checking your posts history before CM will count would help you to post more at the time. And this is you, I have seen many good posters that are having just 3 posts more than the post required for payments, what if some of the posts were moved to off-topic, checking this a day before CM will count posts will be helpful. Also you are a stale member already, i believe you know about this, I just want to notify new members about this. Or did you think good posters can not fall victim for this? I have seen few good posters that were not paid especially because their posts were moved to a board that is not counting for payment.

I faced a similar situation last month when one of my gambling thread where I made about 15 posts was moved to offtopic just a day to my final post count day, I was not affected because I had about 40 posts that week while my weekly posts requirements was 20/ week, I'm a good talker so I always talk more than my weekly quota.

monitoring weekly post counts is not advisable for me, it only makes me lazy counting my post while writing it.

This is like a small guidebook that could be titled: "How to milk efficiently a signature campaign"

The moment you start counting your post and make posts just because you need to hit a number, search for the areas where you're required to make those posts, and at the same time, as this is really bothering me, avoid some areas where there is an interesting subject just because you won't get paid for posting there it simply means you're spamming.

Let's be honest, if you're forcing yourself to post a certain number in certain areas and avoid discussions where you actually have an opinion it means you're a robot
with a target that will always treat those superficially and not rely on get involved in a discussion.


So you can force yourself to make the quota even if normally you wouldn't make those posts?
You check and you have 24 posts, you go out and drink and don't care anymore.
You check and you have only 16, you force yourself to post even if you actually wanted to go out and have a drink.

Beginner users here are just making posts that is relative to the thread but doesn't make any sense which is useless.

We should not tolerate those kind of habit where you are just posting for the sake of the signature campaign without even thinking about the forum's value.

They are just reaching their quota and what they are doing is considered spamming which moderator's prohibit here.

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.
