Topic: What are the do's and dont's of signature (Read 485 times)

Being part of a signature campaign  makes you an extension of the company as a sales man/woman to help market it and sell the product it has and bring traffic to its platform.

Do's and don'ts, well lets just say that with these you are first guided by forum rules and once you are within the confines of the rules, you need to adhere to rules set by the campaign manager which is a simple 2step process to follow.

Thanks , I am going through every single discussion here, and I will hold on to them. Sincerely speaking, I have gained a lot after discovering the purpose of this forum. I really appreciate those who contributed and those who will still contribute. I believe the best way to success is by learning new things.

Hello all, I was thinking of asking this question because i have been wondering if really member rank is put into consideration as i have gone through many signature campaign on the service board and i am yet to see any campaign taking member rank. I guess it is at the sole decision of every campaign manager to put up their campaign rules and eligibility for potential applicants to see but do you not think it is right to look into this .Although as a member rank i have took part in a campaign before and it was OK to start with.

Im not even sure if those two are still human. For me they are like chatgpt of the forum. If im not mistaken Ive traslated a thread by Fillippone before cause I really like the content of what he made. These people also LoyceV contributed a very important topics here. Data, interesting curiousity topics, and even more. But I like some witty guys as well who can crack humors aside from the seriousness they contributed.

To clear the air o all you've said, wearing a signature code is permitted for any member to do so at their own will, but a campaign manager will love to have you remove the signature and avatar as soon as the campaign ends or pause, so that the company will have more interest in seing their brands getting promoted back on the forum, they will now talk and lias with the manager to reopen the campaign, but if everyone of us continue to wear the signature codes then there's no need for the organization to pay for the work of getting a campaign manager or pay for advertising for them, on a serious note, every campaign manager will love to see you remove the signature codes and avatar immediately the campaign stops, the exception is for the free or voluntary signature campaign as such found with "Defend Bitcoin and its PoW: bitcoincleanup.com"
 

Some rules are made to be read, understood and implemented. But seeing some rookies using signature signatures in a project, they don't follow those rules, so they will be deleted soon. and usually their posts are not interactive and seem like passive posts. It takes insight to make a comment or response and that insight is obtained from reading and understanding the topic being discussed.

I definitely agree with it rather than being someone else just to contribute. In my POV, no matter what or how way they want to contribute in the forum is okay instead of doing the opposite.

Wow, thank you for telling me my discussion are serious, because I am actually concerned by the level of “shenanigans and der ailments (TM)” my posts bring.

But you are correct, every user has their own peculiar way of contributing to the forum, and it is important everrtoje can find their own peculiar way.

We see that everywhere in the forum (although in some boards more than others), but I guess that those of us who are regular members here are already used to it. And, IMO, after years suffering it, I don't think this is so wrong anymore:

On one hand, we already know which members contribute best to this forum because they have built a reputation, and although merit is not a perfect system, rank is an indicator too somehow, making it difficult to be wrong when comparing different posts from different members at first glance; on the other hand, even shitposters help by bringing traffic to the forum, and they even give us fun times from time to time with their "innovative" replies. That's the beauty if diversity, because reading all day serious discussions between DdmrDdmr and fillippone, to name two of the best members here, although highly educational, wouldn't be appealing for common mortals, and it is not so bad to have some filler in between.

Thats right. But sometime we cant argue to this as some are really posting for the sake of their requirements. Finding topics you are into are also hard so if you somehow engage in unfamiliar one, then adapt and read and maybe youll learn something beneficial to the topic. Apparently, people are barking even they doesnt even understand what they are explaining. Youll noticed that when you see them how to engage in certain boards.

At your current rank, you should be more interested in learning about bitcoins so that you can contribute reasonably to the forum and be noticed as a person that post quality.

In my own experience, and in addition to this. You should not become too relaxed after being accepted to wear a signature. By too relxed, I mean that the quality of your post and contribution should not reduce just because you think you have joined a signature. Also if you have knowledge on topics in a board that your signature does not regard, it should not stop you from still visiting those boards and giving your own contribution. Everything you do on the forum does not have to be inspired by the signature out promote. It is good to be a regular forum person.

OP, I think you need to go through the comments and you can locate @CryptopreneurBrainBoss comment, that's one of the best response or should I say advise you need to follow.
I don't know if you talking about signature campaign but which ever you saying just go through the rules of each of the campaigns and you'd get all you looking for. One more thing OP, never get discouraged by some response, just do your thing and follow the rules.

Oh I can see that now newbies can now use signature for bounty campaign which is not bad. The rules of the signature is what you should look at and try as much to abide it so you will not be removed unknowingly..Go to the signature campaign thread and read the rules multiple times so that you can understand it for you not to forget what the rules indicate. If you can do accordingly to the rules stated in the signature campaign, you will not have to worry yourself because it is only for those that do not follow the rules that will get penalized at the end of the week or when the campaign ends.

What signature are you talking about?? Signature campaigns?? Hehe...
How many merits have you got since your registration date? C'monnnn, you've got a long way to go... it'll be wise to do so without hesitations... _{though you've got more post to merit ratio which would naturally mean you're a shit poster.... I didn't say that anyways, that's what it means}
Secondly, let's assume we're telling you about 'em signature campaigns, how you gonna get in with only 3 merits? You could try bounties if you're really keen about micro earnings though.
Thirdly, no one is even right to give you tips on a campaign as different managers have thier criterions.

It is not only for participants of the signature campaign, all members ideally should enrich their knowledge, update information, and have many experiences. If we never do these, we only waste time joining this forum. Involving in varied discussions will automatically improve our knowledge, get new information, and get more experience. Only spammers who never get these things after doing varied activities in this forum. Since we are involved in many discussions, we must learn many things.

Regarding reputation, it is a reflection of our behavior in the forum. As long as we do good things, we should have a good reputation. While respecting others, it is a must both in the forum and in real life. It is the reflection of your nature and awareness.

On the contrary, I don't think there is any rule restricting people from wearing any campaigns signature especially  if  the campaign is an active one but the difference  is that you wouldn't get paid for the promotions and if there is any damage caused by you in course of wearing the signature,  then you will have to bear dull responsibility  for it without expecting  any help  and I don't see anyone asked to take down  their signature if removed from a campaign because I believe  the sole aim of a signature  campaign  to get more people help promote their services to more people through posting in different  boards across the forum.

You shouldn't be scared of wearing any signature design if you like it and feel OK in helping to promote their services and you should be sure of what services you're promoting so as not to get yourself into any mess if any thing goes wrong while promoting the company.

In my own definition, a signature is a pictorial advert representation of a business (i.e online casino or mixers) worn by members of the forum of above the rank Jr.member, which has an embedded link to the business's original website. The forum signature is always designed into 4 categories (Jr.member, Member, Full, Senior, Hero and Legendary member), of which each design quality meant to vary with respect to forum rank.

This is a very good advice from my favourite campaign manager. I wish that the OP will return to read these replies and the OP is even lucky that a campaign manager also replied to his posts.
This was exactly what I was saying in the other thread, that campaign managers like people that use the forum like a discussion place and not to login and complete weekly post quota and wait for the next week.

In addition to what others have said, I just have one don't to add. Don't make an extra amount of weekly quota needed by the campaign manager. Always show your manager that you're not only here writing to be paid but also wanting to contributions to the discussion of the forum by writing above the minimum posts needed to be paid especially when you're in a campaigns that requires a certain amount of post to be written weekly. When you do this, you not only increase your chances of getting full payment incase a thread get deleted but also giving yourself a good ratings in the eyes of the manager.

Your posting should never be affected by the campaign you join negatively thereby reducing your post quality instead campaigns should motivate you to increase your quality (put more thoughts inti your writing) since you're actually been paid for those post. I did some thread on issue relating to signature campaign that are worth bringing up again so newbies can read through to make them better understand how to go about participating in signature campaign. They're; Enjoy reading...

• {Guide} Factors to consider before joining paid signature campaigns.
• {Facts} Benefits of promoting (joining) a quality paid signature campaign.
• {Facts} Disadvantage of promoting signature campaigns that encourages spamming.

This thread has been very helpful to me, I have take time to go through the forum's rules.

Thank you.

@OP
If you want to be given a chance to join a quality bitcoin signature campaign, you have to change. Over 80% of your posts are in the altcoin bounty section. No one is going to pay you for that. You have posted a little bit in Bitcoin Discussion and Beginners & Help, but there are no other posts from you where you participate in quality discussions. Do what those who are successful on this forum do if you want to be in the same league.    

There are no rules against wearing any signature you like as long as you respect other forum rules. You can wear the BestChange signature if if pleases you. You can create your own signature if you want. You can advertise your own site or put anything else in your signature space you might think is useful.

Negative feedback will be an account blocker and a sign that the user has committed an offense. Some campaign managers may accept users with negative feedback but on the condition that the user has made good contributions to the forum.
Negative feedback can sometimes result from disputes between other members.
Also, the manager's instructions are very important to pay attention to and not to violate them because it will affect the payment.

Well this is true

---

and please ready the rules of the campaign

different campaign or different manager has their own version of rule please read it carefully and one time is sure don't spam there is one member I don't remember his name said be constructive or STFU and it is true 

The most important is to check the rules laid out by the campaign managers, the campaign manager is the one picking where you should post and what to avoid and what's the limit of posts daily, but on top of this if you're going to participate in a signature campaign you must protect yourself from getting negative feedbacks coming from DT's, this will restrict or stopped you from participating on signature campaigns because the majority of campaign managers do not accept negative feedbacks coming from DTs.

Signatures are just fixative signs to a brand and it is a broadcasting power which opens up to users after attaining certain ranks om the forum. It has some configurations to it though based on ranks as there are a certain number of characters that could be accommodated based on your rank on the forum.

Now, your at liberty to do as you like with your signature space but, when you go into a contract with some company running a signature on the forum, you've got to play by there rules. It's always about;

You don't add referrer links or
You input referrer links.

Its basically about there goals and what they hope to archive with whatever means they chose and its always up to the manager to act as need be.

This is too early for you to talk about signature because you are still a beginner, dont mind wearing a signature mate because there are some other important things you may gain in this forum. If you want to wear a signature then, you can go to services there are a lot of signatures that you can wear and promote them by posting quality posts.

Follow all the rules in the Campaign attached to your profile, when you don't violate any of the rules in the Campaign, you will receive a stake or reward for that period. For the rest, follow all the directions from the seniors to stay away from things that make you lose while in the Campaign.
The experience of each user is certainly different when using a signature. I personally prefer to join signatures that pay with Bitcoin because the results are certain, whereas in Altcoin signatures the income is still gray, sometimes it produces sometimes it doesn't.

The forum does not moderate scams, so you should be wise enough to decide which option is the best and safest based on your knowledge and the community's advice. Forums can stop one campaign or another if the selected campaign participant commits massive spam as happened with the yobit campaign.

I quoted something for you from the signature campaign guidelines, you can read more here: Signature Campaign Guidelines (read this before starting or joining a campaign)

Now that you mentioned it, let me use the opportunity to ask this.
Since these campaigns are scam campaigns like they have been proven to be scam casinos in one way or the other, why does the forum still allow them here? Why not just stop them from continuing the campaign on the forum? Or does the forum not have the right to do that? I would just like to know and understand the whole situation that's all. I'm not trying to imply anything.

The key to surviving and growing, is to maintain high-quality posts by enriching knowledge and information about the topic being discussed.  With good progress, it will be easier for you to follow any of the existing signature campaign rules.  And what is no less important is, respect everyone here and maintain your reputation in this forum.

Unless the campaign manager permitted to you to wear a signature it's wrong to wear a signature if you're not part of the of that campaign that's why manager always ask wherever they remove from their campaign to remove signature and avatar immediately. You can't just pick up the Bestchange signature and wear just because you like it can you?

Well I see you have gotten majority of the information you need to know about the signature and avatar campaign and how they are done but there are some other things I would let you know about your posting and replies.

If you copy an article from any source while replying or creating a topic, do well to cite or refference it.

If you have any dispute with anyone onboard this platform do well to channel it to the reputation board here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=129.0
If in the case of scam accusations, you can take it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 but do well to upload evidence so as to speed up the resolution process because if you have no evidence no one would bother because they might assume you are not serious.

Do not create one topic on multiple boards. Create a topic on the appropriate board and allow for discussion but if you feel or there are replies telling you to move the topic to the appropriate as they list do it and lock the initial immediately.

Lastly, for signature campaigns, Managers do have their rules governing their campaign as they varies. What I would advise you to do is to read their campaign rules properly before engaging them so as not to be taken unawares.

I get your points mate and there is no restrictions to where one can post and I'm certain I never asked him not to post in such boards but I only listed boards where most signature campaigns wouldn't count his post there for the weekly payment..
And to be frank, there are some list of boards in my ignore list and is reason is so as to enable me focus more on the important things and boards in the forum but I also do check out those boards on my ignore list atleast once a week to see if there might be threads that might be of  interest to me.

I don't know what do you meant here, it like you're asking the @OP to avoid posting in the threads or sections you have listed above when there's no rule to prevent someone to post in any thread or section he want.

If the campaign stated to not count in these threads or sections, it doesn't mean you should avoid it, you can still post but it just not counted in your campaign.

Too early for the @OP to know signature campaign, let just make him familiar in this forum first.

Every signature has it's specific rules and regulations guiding it but at the end, the rules are always almost the same and you don't have to bother yourself so much with signature campaigns now but rather focus on growing your account as it will be much more easier to explain things to you .
Before anything is first to know how to wear a signature code and avatar and the avatar can only be worn from the full member rank and you'll need about 100merits and 120 activities to be a full member and the least generally accepted rank for a signature campaign is the member rank with rewards for a job weldone paid weekly ranges from $15 to $20 as the case may be and the full member rank which seems as the least accepted rank  for a signature campaign has a generally reward ranging from $30 to around $40 and other rank such as the senior, hero and legendary with nice reward rates as well.

You should also know that there are some restricted boards where ones post will not be counted towards the weeks pay, as one is expected to make the least 5 lost to be paid and mostly upto 25 post will be counted for payment each week and below are the list of boards that post in there will not be counted for the weeks pay:.
* Serious discussion
* Ivory's tower
* Off-Topic,
* Archival,
* Games & Rounds,
* Investor-based games,
* other signature campaign threads including this one,
* any kind of ANN threads (ANN posted in Gambling board are allowed),
* Wall observers
* Altcoin Discussion,
* Press,
* Politics & Society,
* Lending and
* where signature is not visible will not count.

I don't want to bore you more but below is a link to my signature campaign and you can check all you need to know about a campaign

This is part of one many mistakes most newbies are found wanting of. They just want to put the cart before the horse which is not how it supposed to be in real essence of the forum expectations. There's a Learning process and time that should come first then progressively before the Earning aspect, and it will be great should newbies take that into consideration.  Asking about on how to use signature isn't bad of a question but it's rather the timing that makes it look so. There are other important things newbies in their stage should worry themselves about such as the rules on plagiarism, spamming and post quality and contributions to the forum, and self seeking developmental questions.

In my experience, I think you should act normal and be as human as possible in posting. Dont spam or keep posting to deal with your required number of post. Or yet spread your post on different threads that you are familiar in topics. Dont pressure yourself to post on topic that you arent aware of just for the sake of posting cause it might be a spam at all.

Everyone mentioned almost all things that arent supposed to do. But also with your current rank, isnt itbit too early to be excited about signature campaign? Hence focusing on learning first and ranking up?

You don't break forum rules, community rules if you wear good signatures. Now let's wonder what are good signatures.

- Safe for work, safe for life. Don't wear signatures which are NSFW or NSFL (not safe for work, not safe for life). It is written in forum rules
- Not scam. Don't wear signatures which are from a scam business company or illegal company.
- Don't use BBcode from a signature of a campaign, a company to edit it as yours. It's plagiarism, signature plagiarism.

Just my thoughts:

1. To participate in some signature campaigns, you need to consistently contribute to this forum by being a high-quality poster. Besides being a good quality poster, you should also gradually learn from some of the knowledge available in the sub-forum.
2. For users in the ranking position: Newbie to Full Member, you can go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0 to join the Altcoin paid signature campaign. For users in the Sr. Member - Legendary position, you can go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0 to join the Bitcoin paid signature campaign.
3. Make sure you only follow campaigns that you can comply with all the rules, so that payments can run smoothly.
4. Check the reputation of the Bounty manager who handles the campaign first, make sure that they have never experienced any problems as evidenced by the level on their profile.
5. Never post something that is off-topic, so that your post will not be deleted by the moderator, causing your post count to not match your expectations.
6. It's unwise to force yourself to post about something you don't fully comprehend. Doing so will only degrade the quality of your post and render it trash.

It’s strange that a newbie would be interested in signature campaigns unless you reason for being here is to run a signature campaign, it’s also possible you have lurking around the forum before registering but that doesn’t happen very often.

Every signature campaign have their own rules depending on the service being advertised, a casino would prefer to hire members who are frequent in gambling discussion; exchanges and mixers prefer members who are engage in technical discussions and bitcoin discussion. To get accepted in either of these campaigns you have to be a quality poster.

Read this thread Signature Campaign Guidelines (read this before starting or joining a campaign)

you should share the updated version that can be found on the "Newbies - Read before posting" thread, the one you shared is the old one. on the new version, newbies can no longer wear signature and jr members are not allowed links and the maximum characters allowed has been reduced to 100.

Hello Op good day,
        Without  further a do you must learn first. How to wear signature and avatar properly and once you already know then you can go to Service section and find some signature campaign that Open and accepting Jr. Member and also like what other said above signature campaigns have different manager which means that they have their own or they have different rules and regulation of the campaign. And don't try to break that rules cause we all know that breaking rules has a consequences like here in forum if you break the rules like you are plagiarizing some text and claim that yours then you will be banned but not just a normal and have time duration ban but a permanently ban.

OP, it's too early for you to talk about wearing a signature.
But you must be careful with your behavior on the forum. I see several of your mistakes that, in the future, can play a cruel joke on you.
Never copy someone else's information from other sites; always remember that plagiarism may be the result of a ban on this forum. If you copy something, as you did recently, always provide a link to the source. Even if you are the author yourself.
Learn to properly quote posts, and do not write several posts on one topic in a row. Don't be in a hurry to post dozens of new threads. Reply and chat in already-created threads, unless you have some new, unique threads or questions.
I see you as a good participant who can succeed. If a few merits can motivate you to develop, please try. Good luck.

You are at junior rank at this time and most of the signature campaigns on the forum offer position starting from full member rank so your main focus at this time should be growing up as you still lack 97 merits to reach that level so work hard for it by contributing more to the forum and enhancing your knowledge.

The second part about rules you already have few links guiding you about how to apply signature under your profile but if you are asking about rules then the managers clarify that in the OP for all the participants which you must read before applying in any campaign.If you can follow them it's good because if you violate them you can be removed by manager anytime.

The most simple thing to do is follow all the rules and don't cheat on the signature campaign by enrolling alt accounts and using someone else's username and your own wallet while submitting an application if it is a bounty campaign but for signature campaign that pays weekly (depends on the campaign) will only make you not accepted and will most likely get red tagged by a DT member. They have already pointed out the rest and that's only what I can tell.

Almost all the points that have been indicated above will be helpful so ensure you read them. But let me add that to be able to get a good campaign, you should not have a negative or neutral tag. The selection process is very competitive so having any issues with your account will reduce your chances of being selected.

Quality posting is another requirement. Every campaign wants to hire the best posters in the forum so your post must be of a good standard to attract campaign managers. Campaign mangers also have the right to remove you even without notification or clarification from the campaign if they feel that your post standard is low or you violate the rule.

Actually, there's no do and don't in signature. All you have to do is when you are upto member rank, you have a space to wear your personal signature.

In the other hand, what you may be asking is the rules in participating in signature campaigns. If that be the case, every manager has different rules that aids and ease their work. However, there are some obvious general rules that is adopted by every campaigns and that is about cheating. Do not enroll your main and alt accounts in same campaign

Include with this each of the signature campaigns have their own rules and requirements and one of this is wearing the signature once you meet the full member rank that's the time you can now wear an avatar or images spaces beside your name. When applying make sure you meet the requirements such as the Rank and the merit. Take time to read this is the essential factor here.

All you needed to do is to first read this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/signature-campaign-guidelines-read-this-before-starting-or-joining-a-campaign-1684035 over there lies some rules and regulations that signature campaign must follow and you as a participant, carefully read them because they are not just for showcasing purpose, they were all very effective, also when a campaign is launched, you need to read the rules of that campaign before applying, they are mostly stated on the first page of the signature campaign thread, aside that, each campaign also have their own requirements, check also if you're eligible before application.

Some of the forum members right under your topic have already provided very complete suggestions and directions for you to follow because you just need to read more before doing anything in the forum and if your question is only about signatures, it is only about the campaign they are participating in. And in general at this point there are hardly any campaigns that want to accept participants with Junior Member rank, even if there are only on the Bounties (Altcoins) board.

You shouldn't forget that it's not a must to be paid before you can promote a signature campaign if you liken the campaign you can just decide to promote them for free and secondly, you can also promote your own company with your signature space as long as it's not NSFW content and your sig link won't direct users into a malware website, make sure you know about what it is that you're promoting.

I don't think you need any lecture as to how you post because posting doesn't just apply to a signature campaign alone, so even if you're in a sig campaign or not if you spam the forum or plagiarise you're still going to get the same punishment(ban).

1. Signature Campaign Guidelines
2. Factors to consider before joining paid signature campaigns

By means of do’s and don’t are you asking specifically on what you can put on that space? Because the general rules of the forum will be applied on it. You can use this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unofficial-list-of-official-bitcointalkorg-rules-guidelines-faq-703657 by @mprep as guide to avoid committing offense in the forum.

But if your concern for the signature campaign then it has a different set of rules constructed by campaign manager. It’s important to read each rules carefully because different manager has their own personal preferences when it comes to standards.

Overall, You just need to read the general forum rules to be properly guided. Signature space is more open and has less restrictions for offenses that can result for your account to ban. One thing you should just lookout is promoting scam project because your reputation might be tainted by doing so.

You must be a jr member or higher to hear signature and you are a jr member so you can wear signature. Then if you want to promote a signature campaign you must follow the rules of the signature campaign. Then you have to post some on weekly basis so you must post in this forum according to the rules. If you copy paste or post something that doesn't make any sense then you might have problems. So always real forum rules, board rules and also real campaign rules to wear and promote through signature.

Adding to the two previous replies, wearing and promoting a signature that signifies scam and have being found guilty by the community of scam accusation is advisedly not to be worn on your profile. Some users have been found promoting scam sites and casinos even if they’ve been advised not to just because of few bucks they earn from there. This will only lead to your account been negatively tagged. A negatively tagged account cannot be trusted in the forum and could easily do anything to their own self-interest to make extra bucks for themselves without minding the aftermath of it.

First of all, go to the services board and there you will find out Signature Campaigns: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

Now, go through all of those on the first page to get a general idea of what you should do and what you don't have to do according to the perspective of the campaign manager.
Those are the first set of rules you need to follow.

After that, you need to go through the rules of the Bitcointalk forum: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unofficial-list-of-official-bitcointalkorg-rules-guidelines-faq-703657

This will give you an overall idea of how to interact with this forum. Also, you might get permanently banned for plagiarism.
Do not copy anything from anywhere and post just to make your posts count for the campaign. It will not end up good for you.

The first thing to know is how to wear a signature properly check the post below to better your understanding of it.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.41981756

The next is understanding the restrictions on wearing signature, here is a post from theymos.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5393088
Also popular thought is that signature signifies that the person is in a signature campaign well that maybe right on the majority of people wearing it but there are individuals who wears their own created signature it doesn’t necessarily mean they are in any campaign.

Good day honorable members of this prestigious forum, please I need enlightenment on the use of signature, the do's and don't. This is to avoid going against the rule. And I also want you to share any experience and encounters you have witnessed while using signature. I will appreciate your calm response.  🙏
