Great, so I'm continuing with this campagin on the premise that it's still weekly.
Thanks fastbluff and I hope that you can work out the issues with twitter/macaffee soon.
Ok so your post count is going to start at 202. And you want us to use the same address?
Yes, of course the same address. But why on earth should my post count start at 202? It should certainly start at whatever it was at when you paid me last week. I haven't taken down your signature in the mean time? Why would you refuse to pay for posts made with your signature?
I'll have to check to see exactly where I was at when you paid me last, but I believe it was in the low 190s. That should be my starting post count.
To emphasize: I have worn your advertizement all week. I have posted with your signature nearly 10 posts already this week. I can't understand why you would refuse to pay for posts made with your signature in place? If this is truly the case, I would consider it to be a deal breaker. Please clarify as soon as possible.
Your post count is starting at 202, because in our pm to you about the first report, we asked you to confirm if you were continuing with us, you have just responded to that pm now. I am sorry but we have to take our post count from when you confirmed you were staying in the campaign. We can't bend this rule, as other people followed this and it would be unfair to them.
What?!
I'm sorry but if I'm wearing your advertizement in my signature space, how is that not a confirmation that I'm staying with the program?
Do you really, honestly, think that someone would wear your advertizement in their signature space and not expect to be paid for it? I was away over the weekend and therefore I did not reply to your pm immediately. Still, your advertizement was up on my posts over this time period, why do you think you should get that for free?
This morning I added nearly 10 more posts in good faith advertizing for you. Now you reply to me in the evening and say, "ok, i just caught up with you and i'm putting you back in at your current post count"??
If this is really the way your program works then consider this:
1. You pay for a given week.
2. You are now getting free advertizing because you won't pay for any posts until you "reconfirm" people
3. People say, ok, please let me reconfirm.
4. You eventually reconfirm them and you don't have to to pay for posts between steps 2--4!?
Obviously, under your system, I would immediately remove your ad upon payment and wait for you to "reconfirm" me before I put your ad back.
Finally, can you please explain how this is "unfair to everyone else" if you simply pay people for the posts that they made in good faith with your signature? How many free advertizments (unpaid posts) did you get from everyone else? Why wouldn't you simply pay them for the advertizing you got?
I think the obvious fair thing is to pay everyone for the advertizing that you got from them. If you are not willing to reconsider, I'll be resigning from the program as soon as possible.
