Hard to say really, especially because I don't know how much Stunna wants to cap the posts at. Whatever deal I suggested would probably be bias to me doing more posts but I'm guessing Stunna is trying to cut down on the number of posts/costs, but I like the idea of the hybrid fixed payment structure but including too many factors would be confusing to all involved. If we are indeed going for a fixed rate I'd just keep it to a simple deal based on your Membergroup and a minimum amount of posts to claim payment like the current deals do. Personally, I'd make it more than 50 posts, not just because it would benefit me, but because there's plenty of other deals that offer 50 already (though most seem to be closed) and those type of deals only really benefit people who make a few posts and those with a lot of alt accounts and also doesn't give PD an incredible amount of exposure as most people will just do the fiddy posts and that's it. Stunna needs to find a compromise but with a competitive edge to beat all the others.
Id suggest something simple for a minimum of 50 posts:
Members: 0.05
Full Members: 0.06
Snr & Hero: 0.12
Staff Members: 1btc
You could have another bracket for those that do 100+ to 400 posts (or whatever) a month which would offer a little more or something.
For a minimum of 400 posts:
Members: 0.2
Full Members: 0.3
Snr & Hero: 0.4
Good points it is hard to say when we don't know what Stunna wants to set it at just getting some discussion sorted out in the meanwhile since it doesn't hurt to get more opinions on it.
But a fair point it might become too complicated to throw more factors into the equation so a simple system would make the most sense. The reason I threw in those factors is because inputs.io used to use them all and Tradefortress ran his campaign with those variants smoothly and without any issue (Until you know the whole we got hacked event that is).
Yours makes sense since its as simple as it gets activity level max posts and a cap, also factors time into the equation since it takes a long time to ascend those tiers.
Something of a flat rate then a transition step
Minimum 50 posts
Members: 0.05
Full Members: 0.06
Snr & Hero: 0.12
Staff Members: Donation to Theymos for his new forum software bwhahaha
And then switch to a Pay Per Post system with a cap in place/declining pay per post system/ based on existing posts/ pay per activity points as wachtwoord mentioned there are a lot of variants leading to the max rate.
Members: 0.2
Full Members: 0.3
Snr & Hero: 0.4
___
Member = 60 Activity = 60 posts per week * 4 = 240/month * 2 = Max 480 posts a month Min 50 = 16 Posts a Day
Full Member 120 Activity = 120 posts per week * 4 = 480/month *1.5 = Max 720 Posts a Month Min 50 = 24 Posts a Day
Sr Member 240 Activity = 240 posts per week * 4 = 960/month *1 = Max 960 Posts a Month Min 50 = 32 Posts a Day
Hero Member 480 Activity = 480 Posts per week * 4 = 1920/month * 0.6 = Max 1440 Posts a Month Min 50 posts = 48 Posts a Day
I actually quite like this idea. It seems fairer to all whilst imposing a cap on posts and the rewards are there for higher ranks, though I don't know how easy it would be to check and issue payments for Stunna. Maybe instead of per week it could be per month ie a Member with 60 activity can make 60 posts a month and so on.
I think this model would be fairly easy to keep track of its more or less a variant of the current one adding in different post limits for activity groups so it wouldn't be to hard to differentiate between a member or a full member when you claim payment by stating activity group. Anyways its always good to see different perspectives on it and build a custom one

Thanks for your 2 cents
As a sidenote 1 BTC for Staff might motivate me to press that report button a lot more ha-ha 10 a day to scare the other moderators away and acquire a staff promotion
given that you find them faster than me so its like a USB stick vs an Asic
