i think there is nothing wrong with this, anyone that is paid for their work is not wrong it is good as a help specially for those who really need money. besides other ICO required their bounty participants to post in their announcement thread also and if they dont they wont get paid. so i think this is just normal and fair.

So it's the right thing to do because you benefit.
No wonder this forum like a septic tank. It's not a good idea in my opinion. It encourages
spammy posts big time. Would YOU want to read anything in that thread?

That is very much not allowed. The threads are trashed, the poster is banned for 60 days, everyone who participated is banned for 3 days, and everyone who participated cannot display a signature for 30 days.

Hey, people who participated are not their mistake, this thread has been open for while,most of them don't know that it's not allow.

ive noticed a new practice these days and wanted to ask the community about your views on this.

see here.

This thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--2024824

- - - - - this thread is constantly on top in the ANN altcoin announcements.

That got me interested so I dug a little deeper.

This is what I found:

Is this the first PPP (pay per post) campaign on Bitcointalk or have there been more?

TY

Seems like the thread already got trashed, I can't see it. This also seem to be happening on quite a lot of alt-crypto signature campaigns.
Question: Does requiring the signature participants to post a minimum number of post per week also not allowed?

I think that would be allowed, given that the posts can be on any thread. Requiring X posts on a certain thread would be not allowed.

Well honestly this is just my 1st time too seeing this and i gotta say that this is just to help the project advertise its ico. This kind of ppp to me unusual but seems legit. It is not the typical ppp that i was accostumed of. I too am curious feel free to update you posts if you have came across the same type of ppp.

In my opinion, it makes the ICO lose credibility.

If you haven't seen already, the campaign manager allows people to post 10 times a day in the ANN thread. Do you really believe that someone can make 10 constructive posts per day in the same thread without spamming? They don't even check the quality of those posts before paying their users.

As I said in a previously post: "The guy managing this campaign is legit asking people to spam on the forum for cents."

Edit: Good news :)
