New rule coming up:
Wearing a competing Avatar may not be allowed. What is and what is not allowed will be dealt on a case-by-case basis.
It is not allowed especially when it contains the name of the competing site.
I honestly don't think it is good for the campaign for someone to wear a say PD logo on the Avatar, BitDice.me on the personal message and DaDice on the signature. That will be pretty weird..
Personal meesage is okay atm, since it not as intrusive as the avatar campaign. Personal avatars are encouraged.
Besides, avatar is more a personal thing than something to advertise for. I suggest against participating in a campaign that gives something like 0.005BTC a week, in which you may be making some 50 posts or so.
+1 on this. I don't think selling avatars is a good use of your resources as your avatar is one of the last places you can really express yourself on the forum if you are selling your signature.

Plus having a unique avatar means that you will have overall more respect throughout the community which will give more value to our signature space
But on the other had an avatar is prime real estate for advertisers and people are free to choose whether they want to sell it or not. It arguably may even get more exposure than a signature as it's in a prominent place and can serve as a little billboard so I just think it's another valuable space to rent. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before campaigns utilize or take advantage of it but many will choose not to partake in those campaigns but also many more will.
Well, as long as the Avatar campaign rate is considerably lower than the signature space, considering that the image is not clickable, I would say it is not a very good idea to advertise even there.
Yes, participants are free to choose whether they want it or not. In that case, we have already purchased their space (consider the rates inclusive
), but are offering it to upload any image they like as long as it does not conflict with the signature the participants are wearing. I would like a cleaner forum (20*3+1 = 61 ads per page
), and I will simply block if I see more than say 5 people wearing the same avatar in the same thread. If Avatar is advertised, and becomes too intrusive, signatures will lose their importance and sig campaigns won't be effcient anymore.As long as there is not much competition, I will expect the rates to be lower enough not to compete with signature rates.
Just my opinion.
Edit: This is just my personal opinion. If everyone allows, we can start an avatar campaign with the probably same dadice logo (as dadice requires) for everyone.
Pretty sure adblock downloads will go up in a week.
again.
