I keep watching this signature campaign from some time but is always full. Tried to apply via PM some time ago but I am not a very trusted member of the community and my application was rejected.
I have a few questions and if anybody can answer, I will be grateful.
Shall I apply once again in this thread and wait for approval? Is there a waiting queue? If there is a free slot how the new particpant is determined?
The best way probably is to check on Sunday. Payments (and removals) are generally done at the same time, which is some time on Saturday. I generally keep applications open until Monday or Tuesday. There's no waiting queue.
My selection criteria is based on a few things:
- Whether your posts will actually be read/seen
- Post quality
- Trust/recognition
- Sections you post in
Sending a PM to DarkStar_ does not improve your chances. In fact, it may even make your future opportunities worse. I signed up, the last time it opened. But I was not considered on the second list/phase.
Not being on my "second phase list" doesn't mean your post quality is bad. It's just that there's such a large number of people who have good quality that I have to be more picky in an attempt to narrow it down.
Thank you @DarkStar for this detailed answer.
When I read other answers I had this doubt filling in my stomach "is this info correct?".
After @DarkStar reply, I have no doubts anymore.
Don't get me wrong I am truly thankful for all replies and help from members but if OP didn't post this short guide above then there will be always doubts and many confused people like me in this thread.
Now if somebody will look for an answer on "how to get involved in this campaign?". Then he will have a chance to find this guide and inside the answers, he needs.
