Topic: New experience about posting behaviour (Read 399 times)

Forums do not limit the number of daily posts if they are constructive and of high quality. Even when the maximum daily paid limit rule is enforced, it will not violate the forum rules if posts are useful and what is prohibited are spam posts, junk posts and low quality posts.

Dear community users,

Welcome everyone to my thread. Every newbies start their bitcointalk journey with the expectation of learning and sharing their knowledge's. Some of you may know that worldwide crypto based platforms use this forum for their promotional purposes and they run signature campaigns here. Currently there is multiple live signature campaigns going on here and usually they give weekly payments to their campaign participants. From my own point of view its an great opportunity for quality poster and higher ranks holder to earn a handsome amount of money by joining a signature campaign.

Its been only a month that i have started my job as a campaign manager and one thing took my attention during managing my last campaign. As we all know that to join a signature campaign participants have to follow campaign rules and some rules are quite common on every campaign. For every campaign there is rules of minimum posts per week. Basically it depends on campaign owners choice but to stop spamming or unnecessary posting most campaign managers love to keep the amount of minimum post/week as lower as possible. I have got a different experience during managing my last signature campaign where weekly minimum post requirement was 25 post. Really disappointed to share with you all that i have got couple of participants there who exactly make 25 post/week. Some of them don't make 1 extra post during participating campaign and i think other campaign managers have similar kinda experience.

My question is:

Do they only post for fulfill the minimum post requirements or post count?

IMO if there is 25 weekly post requirement on a signature campaign then it doesn't mean that you can't make some extra posts. I have seen a lot of quality posters of this forum who are really active and don't care about the minimum requirements of their posting. They only post for helping this community by sharing their precious knowledge to newbies. For that reason every time they make lots of extra posts/week. As a participant if you only post to get the weekly payment then i don't know how much good to see that. Yeah in many circumstances anyone can make less post for a week and hopefully campaign manager will consider that but who make exact 25 post in every week they should change their habit.

There is multiple signature campaign going on and lots of quality posters are there. I have a suggestion for them who will get the chance to join signature campaign in the future. "Post for forum, Not only for fulfill the weekly minimum post requirement"
We have lots of participants for every signature campaigns, you cannot expect that everyone would exert effort that would exceed your expectations. Sometimes, bounty hunters post the exact number of posts required because they are afraid of getting banned or gaining red trust from the campaign manager. If ever you've noted that it's not a bad thing to post extra one, then the blame would be for the participant and not yours at all so don't sweat it if you never fall short of cautions and extra rules.

It doesn't matter how many posts a user makes per week, some users due to time or maybe knowledge post more than others and it's fine, the major concern should be the quality of the posts, if making more posts will lead to shit posting, then limit yourself to a reasonable number.

There is a campaign willing to pay users for over 50 posts, but many on the campaign make less than even half of that(50). This other campaigns you're talking about, will only pay if users post up to 25 posts, and so many users wouldn't want to post that much, but then they just have to. So is anyone to blame here?

Then isn't it better to join signature campaigns after developing the habit of making quality post. Mods will do their work to keep this forum better for its users. If they fear to make big number of post due to having chances of being deleted by mods then campaign slots isn't for them.

I cannot find the post but I think it was yahoo who also said something similar. He also mentioned that it is rare to get participants who does 40-50 posts a week when the minimum is just 20-25. Some signature participants here complain about campaigns being short-lived but they don't really do their best in promoting the company that is paying them like adding extra post/s for more exposure.   

Really we could just not worry too much about it couldn't we? I see so many people complaining that making 25 posts in a week is too hard, then I read this and see you guys complaining about what timezone are posts counted in so you can make 35 posts a week. So which is it? 25 per week is too many? or hey I can do 35 with no problem?

The point is, just post like normal and find topics you can post constructively in. If you get 5 in a day cool, if you don't oh well.

There really aren't that many people willing to give their best though. Each campaign(the 1s that I manage) only has so many open spots per rank. No matter who is in the spot in most cases, users are only willing to post enough to get paid. They are not posting because they like a topic, they are not posting because they want to inform others about a subject in most cases, they are posting to be paid. If they're being paid for 20 posts, then they do 20 posts. Every now and then I get a guy who is paid for 20-25 posts per week and they do 40-50 posts a week.

Look at suchmoons small sample Effect of Signature Bans. Even though it's a small sample size, it is a correct view of what happens when users are banned from wearing signatures. Users just fade away into nothing in most cases.

I'm not against users making money obviously, and I would love for everyone to make more money. Users need to stop thinking only about themselves though. When they join campaigns, their first thought isn't how can I help this company. Their first thought isn't to log in to the website and check out the platform. All they are thinking is please accept me so i can make some money.

I'm not trying to personally attack you, my answers in most cases are directed towards everyone but you are the one who posted the topic and the 1 I am responding to. Everyone has an opinion and I feel they should be free to post their opinion, whether I agree or not.

This other campaigns you're talking about, will only pay if users post up to 25 posts, and so many users wouldn't want to post that much, but then they just have to. So is anyone to blame here?

I think it's fine to add something like "an extra post(s) per week is appreciated and will increase your chance of getting accepted on future campaigns by me".

They usually / always make exactly 25 posts each week, and they don't care about the risks of posts deleted by moderators or threads in which they post trashed by moderators. Consequently, they usually pop up to complain: "Oh, manager, why I did not receive payments for the last week. Please give me a payment and I will make one more post next week as my compensation for lack of posts this week".

My question is:
Do they only post for fulfill the minimum post requirements or post count?
