Topic: LoyceV's Avatar and Signature log (campaign managers read this!) - page 2. (Read 743 times)

So I did a signature campaign for the first time in 4 years.
I have no intention of switching around to get double paid for two campaigns.

I am a bit confused as to what would be cheating.

So my current campaign pays me up to 40 good posts per week.

If the week starts on the 14th of sept 2023 and I do 50 good posts by  the 16th of sept 2023.

Can I leave on sept 17th go to another campaign as I fully did do the max posts for the week.

Or am I obliged to stay the full week and switch out on sept 20th thus giving the first campaign a full amount of posts and time for said week.


BTW I would want that the max posts and full time must be done if I am a campaign manager.

So that in my case I should leave at the weeks end if I were to switch out.
I only think that is fair to do the time and the post to get paid.

As a suggestion maybe this can be clarified by the campaign managers that time and posts are needed to get paid.

 OR am I misunderstanding the purpose of this thread.

Bump

Note that it is still possible to change a signature without getting detected, it can take hours up to a day or even longer to scrape a profile. I've added the random factor to make it harder to game the system. So cheating is still possible, but it's a risk as the account owner won't know when his signature gets checked. Besides, changing it for only a couple of hours may not be enough for another campaign manager to accept the user.

Amazing work as always, surely will implement in our upcoming project.




I always work this way with many of the people who finds cheater in my campaigns. Love it.

Good to see such thread. I owe you a review too (but that will be in private chat, later :-D ). I will give a list in a few days if not possible today or tomorrow.

Cheers,

Yes. Just edit it (don't create a new post).

Please whitelist me.


I agree with your deal.
Can I update the list later?

Correct. Just edit your post and add it. I'll use it for my testing (it might take a few days).

This is very nice LoyceV, thank you! I'll take you up on your offer and if a cheater is caught you'll get 100% of their payment for that week . I would have also given you more merit but unfortunately all of it was spent in my latest art contest.

Starting off with the above list, it's all the Full Members currently in my various campaigns. Let me know if there's anything else needed! Looking forward to seeing this in action, and thank you again!

Sample
Hey LoyceV, please whitelist me!

The above userIDs within code-tags will be checked. Please add only userIDs within one code-block, one userID per line.
Feel free to add other comments within the same post, but don't use another code-tag.
If you remove a userID, I'll keep updating them anyway. Anyone on your list will be highlighted in last-changed order on loyce.club/signatures/0_campaign_managers/.html.
Note that this isn't meant to instantly detect changes, so the time stamp can be many hours away from the actual change. It's meant to detect "unexpected" changes in signature or avatar.
To prevent mistakes, it's currently limited to 100 userIDs per campaign manager. This is mainly meant to prevent accidentally adding way more users. If that isn't enough, let me know. Only your first post in this topic gets processed, so keep all your userIDs within one post.

Background
Some users try to cheat signature campaigns by switching their signature back and forth between campaigns twice a week. As part of my convenient service for campaign managers, I now keep logs of signature changes of participants. Example: LoyceBot's signature.

This topic is work in progress. I created it before my scripts are ready, because I need it for testing. Feel free to post here already.

How to find yourself
Click loyce.club/signatures/.html or edit your userID into the URL. Example: LoyceBot's signature history.

How to join

• Post in this topic to start your avatar and signature log. Updates continue after you remove your post
• Enroll into a signature campaign managed by someone who uses this service
• Campaign managers can request whitelisting to create a list here (see sample format in next post)
• Campaign managers who use my campaign service don't need to post here
• Wear any signature and be detected by me in the future, when I add you to increase my historic data

Whitelisted campaign managers
See loyce.club/signatures/0_campaign_managers/.html for your data (still incomplete). Example: Avatar and Signature log for campaign manager LoyceV.

Job hoppers
Once this is running a bit longer, campaign managers can use this to differentiate between "job hoppers" and more loyal campaign participants. Of course it's up to the campaign manager what to do with this information.

Updates
All avatars and signatures are checked at random times, on average at least once a day. I keep track of the last checked date, and show all changes. This signature for instance looks the same, but made some changes to non-braking spaces^* so it was detected.
Updates in this topic are checked every couple of hours, after which the campaign manager's data gets updated too. This is a separate process from checking the avatars and signatures.

Paid? Donations? Or free service?
I like catching cheaters, but since campaign managers don't work for free, it seems fair to charge a fee. How about this: if you (a campaign manager) catch a cheater thanks to my service, we share their last campaign payment 50/50 and give the cheater negative feedback instead of a payment. Deal?

Post removal
I want to keep this topic compact (so I can quickly scrape it many times). That means I'll delete almost all posts that don't contain a list from a Whitelisted user. Discussion is allowed, but I'll probably delete it at some point.

^* I'm starting to think the non-braking spaces can change when a user goes to "Forum Profile Information" and clicks "Change profile" without changing anything in the signature. This is not a big deal but the unintended result is that it shows up in my change log.
