Topic: Things you DONT like the bounty and signature campaigns - page 2. (Read 322 times)

Bounty spam is a forum issue, or, to stress it a bit more: bounty spam is the forum's issue these days...
I'm not so optimistic about the solution, because there are so much ideas to improve the forum and to stop spam, but those are still only ideas...

Before I make a comment on the post, I wounder if this is a meta board issue? I am trying to figure out the relevancy of the topic with forum issues and stuffs. Can anyone help me with the missing parts here for me?

Thanks in advance.

Since this is kinda a thread asking about opinion, then i guess it is not wrong to add some opinion of mine. There are things on my mind that can be applied to make bounty or signature campaign better :
1. No newbie or Jr. Member can join bounty or signature.
2. Merit requirement to join campaign.
3. Only specific rank for higher payment and long campaign (it sounds kinda hypocrisy, but it will establish a better posts result, thus lowering the spam)
4. Managers truly check the post of their participant.

Joining a chat group will be a rule that i hate less rather than following a twitter or joining a facebook group.

I've seen they want and ask to say Hi in Telegram groups and provide screenshots to them...
Maybe they want something more, that's something normal. But the funny thing is why people follow and do that!???

Merit points  
Open for specific very high ranks only    

Well I wish these two options were huge issues for getting onto bounty campaigns. Sadly they're not and pretty much anyone can get onto most Alt coin campaigns these days and that's where the problem lies here. If campaigns only accepted higher ranks and those who have high merit counts then we wouldn't have much of an issue with spam.

Things like joining telegram groups seem silly to me though, and they're probably pointless, but I can see why they request Facebook and Twitter follows etc because it's an easy way to bolster their following to make them look more popular than they are.


If everyone ran their campaigns like Chipmixer/Darkstar there wouldn't be an issue on this board with spam. I've long said that signature campaigns could actually help clean up the forum and rid it off spam, but only if campaign managers do their job properly and set minimum standards and only accept quality users, and this campaign is proof positive of that working. Having a Chipmixer signature is almost a guarantee that that user will be making worthwhile posts. Haven't seen a single shitposter on there and if ever one person did start I'm sure they'd be removed fairly swiftly.

The second half of the above sentence makes no sense whatsoever, but as for the first part:  "Good posters" aren't hesitating at all as far as joining a campaign.  And they're the ones who should have no reservations or problems in doing so.  It's the members who don't have enough merits and have shitty posts that have the most problems and who shouldn't be applying to campaigns--yet I'm seeing this all the time.

I think all signature campaigns ought to be as selective as Chipmixer, for example.  There should be more merit requirements and shitposters should be booted immediately if they get accepted to a campaign.

The only fuckers who have a problem with selective campaigns are those who can't meet the requirements.  They whine ad nauseam about how they're not earning merits, and I've seen people buy merits and try to join campaigns with merit minimums.

As far as the other issues:

I haven't ever participated in an ICO bounty, so I haven't had to join a telegram group, nor do I have a telegram account.  I'm not sure why that's a requirement for some of these bounties.  Then again, my guess is that most members here probably have a telegram account anyway, and joining a group wouldn't be a big deal.

Having a payment pegged to USD shouldn't be a big deal, as long as it's made clear at the beginning how the conversion is going to be made.  I think there are some bounties/campaigns that don't specify that they're going to use preev or coinmarketcap or whatever, and then they can use whatever price is to their advantage.  Campaigns, if they already have the funds all set to be paid, should just specify how much bitcoin they're going to pay their participants.

The other important issue is the minimum rank requirement.  I absolutely applaud campaigns only accepting Sr. or Hero members and above.  My opinion is that this should be the norm.  The only thing Jr. members seem to be able to do is spam, and that's because the average noob is creating multiple accounts to maximize their earnings.  That might suck for a genuinely good newbie, but I think they should still be required to rank up before being allowed in a campaign.  If their posts are actually good, they'll do it eventually. 

Being allowed to use your signature/avatar space for advertising ought to be a reward for good posting, not some sort of right that anybody has.  It's being abused to no end.

This poll is really need ? Rules depend on managers and project. Every managers have specific criteria to manage bounty or signature campaigns.

Hello all,

From time to time I've seen that for joining bounty and signature campaigns have imposed certain rules to ensure better candidates are enrolling. And at the same time campaign is reaching wide spread as well. Things have started to become weirder with every season when campaign admin imposes new rules which makes the joining those campaigns an awful experience. Then again candidates join it for monetary(there is nothing wrong in it). However from time to time even a good poster may be having second thoughts about joining these campaigns.

My intention is to short list those reason which are so awful and pathetic that you move away from these campaign or even if you join them you loathe them.  

You could add your own additional reasons in comment section as  well.
