Topic: Signature and Forum Campaign Question (Read 383 times)

I think you had enough of answers to your questions, maybe you can reply to some of them or make it a choice to lock this thread.

To make it short for you I will give my answers to you and make it concise.
- It's better for some section of the forum to have no signature to be able to focus on the topic at hand. If you check those boards, those are the serious discussion, ivory tower things.

Second question
- They are aiming for specific people who are participating in those boards. Best way to think about this is that if you are operating in a country like US, then you are allowing to post in a local board, not located in the US, it just doesn't make sense. They are making it effective in advertising by selecting the area that they will count.

This is just my take.

First question answer: ask theymos or Cyrus.

Second question answer: ask the campaign manager.

Asking this two questions to public will not get the appropriate answer since it's up to own opinion answer and how they view it. Asking this questions when you're already participate in signature campaign for multiple weeks doesn't make any sense too.

Now I want to ask you: why you increase your post counts in gambling board?

I think the first question has been answered by most people here, so I don't need to answer it.

With regards to the 2nd question, I guess the best answer is that there are some boards that are either there are only few people who are going, and interacting into that particular board, or the signature isn't being displayed there. There are some campaigns that allows users to post on gambling boards because that board is where gamblers are most of the time therefore, it will benefit the company. There are some companies who prefer the participants to post outside gambling boards because it's not their niche.

Well, you can still post in those boards still, but your post will not be counted by the manager of the campaign.

Spamming in the forum is always discouraged, otherwise if you’re caught that you made consistent spam posts, then you might be banned permanently. So don’t wait for that to happen on you. That’s the reason why most campaign managers excluded those boards that are frequently seen with spam posts, because that will also ruin the purpose of the campaign alone. Signature campaigns are said to promote for its productivity and progress, so managers should be more cautious on what boards these participants will be posting.

Adding to this, there are boards that are very much important  and having low quality  posts or having people spam those boards trying to meet up with signature campaign requirements and exemple of such boards include serious discussion, ivory coast, and the rest.

And since this boards have restrictions on signature  appearance, campaign managers wouldn't want people and their campaign members post in such boards because the major purpose of signature campaigns  is to help market a service through the signature space  and the more visible  the user is, the more chances the company has for exposure.

Campaign managers have different rules actually, some will pay if you post in local boards, while others will not. But posting in off topic or in boards that your signatures will not be displayed will always be strictly followed. Otherwise, you will not receive your weekly payout. Learn to follow the rules because that is very important when you participate in a signature campaign. You don’t want to be removed in the campaign I think, worst is if you keep breaking their rules, you will be banned in all the manager’s campaigns.

The reason is heavily related to spam and again information in such boards are unique such that it ought not to be buried in a haste.

To add, it depends on the jurisdiction of the project. A project that is licensed and situated in Dutch will likely hire more of German natives for quick optimization

I'm not entirely sure about the exact reason behind it, but I believe it is to reduce spam on those boards. Typically, the sections where signature campaigns are allowed are filled with numerous topics and daily replies. However, boards that don't display signature space tend to have fewer replies and topics.

It depends on the campaign and the manager. Some campaigns allow participants to post on their local boards, while others do not. In other words, for example if the project is related to gambling it would be more favorable for them to allow gambling sections in the forum, rather than focusing on sections that are not interested in gambling. I hope that clarifies my point here:)

Certain boards exclusion campaign of posts by campaign managers are based on their discretion, while other reasons that influences these boards exclusion on signature campaigns are the type of brand and what they represent. Casino company like Stakes.com would give much priority to the gambling and gambling discussion board than it would do to beginners and help board cause it's in the gambling section that their target audience lyes and huge market for them. So the brand also has much influence on this issue of boards exclusion by campaign managers. Nevertheless, some campaign managers ordinarily don't interest themselves with some boards particularly the Politics and society board which makes them to exempt such board in all signature campaigns under their charge even if it's an exchange
company signature.

Many people have provided answers to your questions but I feel like contributing to your first question. I feel that the reason theymos deactivated signature in some boards is because those boards require serious discussion.  If signature is displayed everyone will flood in the board and discuss what they do not understand in order to complete signature posting quota.
If you can afford to post where your post will not count, it shows you have something serious to discuss.

I think it is a matter of choice for the managers, If a manager thinks that the discussions from a board is important to the project he is managing, he can permit and agree to count post made in those places by people under the project as valid. Some managers also see that some places in this forum make people lazy in how they post, so to make people to be committed to writing well they exclude and tell the people under them that post in those places will not be eligible even if they post there. It means you can still post there if you want, but it will not be eligible to him.

1. I guess that it is because those boards dont need advert on their post or discussions there are not considered to be helpful or irrelevant to other forum members.
2. Campaign managers don't accept post that the signature the company does not show is because your job hasn't been done. You are advertising a service and if you post on boards that your signature don't appear,what have you advertised? Nothing,and you are been paid to advertise the company that you are wearing their signature. Also there are some boards that your signature appears but some managers exclude such boards from your weekly quarter,this depends on the manager and the company that you are advertising.

When you join a signature campaign and post in different sections using the specific code and avatar of that signature campaign, your post will promote their campaign online and you will be paid a certain amount for that work. But if you post in a place where your signature code or your avatar can't be seen then that post is of no use to them because your post is of no use to them then why would they pay you for your post. That's why each signature campaign has different rules. Signature campaigns are based on rules where you get paid for where you post and where your posts don't count.

From your two questions above, there is an element of mutual benefit there, maybe you understand enough how to run a business. Yes, it's about business.
First, the platform you are promoting on your profile is not visible on the board where the signature is not displayed, obviously not bringing profit to the platform you are promoting.
Second, managers always prioritize participants who have post quality above average, the reason managers exclude posts on Serious discussions or Ivory Tower is because the discussions there are mostly worthless trash.

When you become a Campaign Manager, you will understand why you exclude postings on certain boards.

Forum posters are paid so the project could be advertised through the signature, if the signature is not showed in the post then it has no point paying them, so it's clear why the section that does not show signature is avoided by campaign manager. In the case of the section that shows signature but is avoided by Campaign Manager could be related to the project that hires them, most of the signatures campaign now is either from Casino or Bitcoin Mixer, Casino mostly encourage their poster to post on the Gambling section, while Bitcoin Mixer don't want their poster to post on Altcoin Section because it's for Bitcoin. Other reason could be that the section that is avoided is mostly full of spammer.

Signature campaign guideline.

Signatures are one of elements in forum and theymos let it shows because he wants to give forum members to get income but don't abuse it. He can disable all signatures if he want to and if he feels signature campaigns nurture shit posters and spammers.
Two new no-signature boards
Ideas for improving post quality?


Forum members can disable (hide) all signatures and avatars with their profile settings.

Do you want to get serious things like this

Each manager and each campaign has different rules. You have to follow the manager rules and campaign rules to stay in and get eligible posts for payment.

By your rank, I assume you know what signature means in the forum. The Forum per se is a place for sharing ideas on bitcoin but not limited to only bitcoin, it captures alt coins as well as political and economical discussion. Signature is an advert mechanism for companies or related entities where users are required to make certain number of posts in order to get paid and by implications, it leads to numerous post with less content and meaningful conversation. Consequently, signature are disable in the board where serious discussions are being discuss in order to keep the board clean and convo relevant.

Some boards are excluded thou this depends on each campaign manager preference. Some board have less post simply because members are not interested in them and the purpose of signature campaign is to create awareness about a particular site or whatsoever with the aim of getting traffic by spreading it where majority of Forum users are active in.

Signature campaign are marketing programs that helps create awareness for a project so what's the benefits of those boards that won't be productive to the campaign been posted on, that'll just be waste of resources. Let me use a casino signature campaign as an example, the targeted audiences for this type of campaign are gamblers so it'll only be productive to the campaign when participants post in boards that gamblers would likely be present so they can advertise to them and anything else is just a waste of resources and that's why you see casino related signature campaign making it compulsory that some post get made in gambling related boards.

The managers exclude those boards because they believe the boards won't be productive to the campaign they're managing. And there are some boards and thread that don't show signature code and that's because theymos doesn't want discussion on this boards to be influence by signature payment. It's a well known fact that spammers only engage in discussion because they're been paid to do so and they make off topic contributions just to fulfill the weeks quota but in those boards like Serious Discussion, theymos wants topics been discussed there should be those that typically interest you without been paid for your post there.

At first, signature campaign managers have every right to formulate the rules to their various campaigns so as to meet with the demand of their clients whom they promote their various projects here. Managers want active boards where signature is visible and  the visibility of the signature brings about benefit to the project and as such increases the popularity of that project onboard the platform.

Nevertheless, some campaign requires some specific board for signature campaign participants to be constantly engaging so as to attract more traffic to them. For instance the gambling board as we know is basically for gambling exercise and casinos. So therefore any casino project would definitely want their name to be visible there and this requires their campaign participants to constantly be active there so that their casino can gain the attention it desires.

There are some threads that don't display a signature that is just how mods in the forum made it, if you can't display the signature on that post you promoting nothing therefore it was not counted as a post since your signature cannot seen by members. Most of the boards are excluded but it would depend on the signature campaign manager they have different preferences on their rule some exclude most of the boards others are not, the Main reason most of the time is because most of the topics on that board are nonsense and not relevant to the signature that you are promoting. And allowing posts on that board could just lead to spamming, for example, topic threads, I mean topic post are just not related to cryptocurrency, and most of the topic there is just nonsense so it would make sense if the campaign manager doesn't allow post there to be counted, there are also threads like games and round, where the post are just games, probably because there are expected to do quality post with around 150 characters so you can't really do exactly that on that thread where you just play and bet.
