Topic: Why do signature campaigns not count politics and society for posting? - page 2. (Read 539 times)

A simple answer which no company would pay up for such boards which isnt relevant on what they are promoting.Lets say a gambling company
launched a signature campaign then why would they consider on paying up the post which isnt even related to gambling? And so as with Off topic and other
boards which is barely being visited.

For you OP which do struggle on contributing on discussions due to knowledge limitation then you can still proceed on posting even though
its not being counted or simply a waste of effort but at least you are gaining and contributing to the community and also consider to step up
on reading every now and then and do learn a long the way gradually.

Mostly because people are spamming over there.

Its easy to get caught in flames in politics, you ain't advertising when people in the threads are arguing just about demo and rep's side. Its almost going to be the same thing with Religion, there ain't no peace for this discussion board.

If I am an advertisers who's going to promote my shop selling guns and ammo, I guess I'd pick this section and won't count any other section in the forum.

The project owner they want exposure and discussion sections(like bitcoin and altcoins) are the main targets of them because it can drive heavy traffic on this forum which means the project that you promoted will be known. If you have something to contribute to that Politics and society section then, you can. I dunno what will happen if there are no forum rules like spamming, I'm sure those project owner did not care the forum as long as they had exposure on discussion boards.

if you had a bitcoin mixer site, would you pay people to post to the policy section or would you pay people to post to the bitcoin discussion section?

The people in the policy section are about to discuss politics, they are hardly going to look at the mixer service, but people in the bitcoin section will need a mixer or an exchange.

if you had a policy site and had money to run a sig campaign here in the forum, then you would pay people to post in the policy section


do the following:

spend hours reading all sections of the forum, spend hours reading the posts made in previous years to familiarize yourself with the forum, with members and know the philosophy and politics of the forum. You will know how to contribute and where to contribute.

Except for forum Newbies, spammers and forum administrators, very few people go to the irrelevant part of the forum. This part of the forum is made to keep all off-topic posts away from serious discussion. None of the signature owners does want to waste money on the black hole.
It is a crypto related forum, not life magazine and discussion about music, Politics and Society ... not a priority.

OP for future campaigns you might want to read this thread before joining one; [Guide] Factors to consider before joining paid signature campaigns. Now to your question, the reason most campaigns don't accept post made in the politics and society board is because members who post in that boards or visit that board to read topics aren't their targeted audience. Also the board has less traffic compared to other highly visited boards like Bitcoin/Altcoin discussion. For other boards, high rate of spam could be a reason why post aren't counted but in the case of politics and society it isn't since the spam rate in the board is minimum compared to other boards posts are accepted from e.g Bitcoin discussion board etc

Concerning your not been able to to contribute to thread, just skip or try reading the replies from other users, if you do so you might have some additional useful information to add to the reply, correct mistakes etc also when you encounter a topic you have no idea about, it isn't a must to contribute, try searching on the topic, get to understand it because it's a knowledge gained which might be useful later as must times similar (sometimes exact) topic repeat themselves on forum, then you can contribute meaningfully from your understanding. if you still feel you want to contribute to that particular thread after researching on the topic, try not to copy and paste instead contribution from your understanding and add a link to source of information.

Campaigns can choose to pay (or not pay) users in whatever boards they like. If they wanted to pay exclusively in off topic then they could, but historically a lot of campaigns stopped paying in boards like Off topic and Politics because of the amount of shit threads spammers were creating in there just to get paid because they were being abused by people who couldn't talk about much else. I think the Politics board has changed a lot over the years as you can have some decent discussion in there now and that's probably because it's mostly a sig spam free board all because most campaigns don't pay in there.


You don't... or shouldn't and this is the huge issue here isn't it. You've come to a message board on a topic you have little to no knowledge about just to earn and that's why we have so much spam because people are trying to talk about things they don't understand.

i think largely because there are less interest in those board, i for one never visited that section before because i don't like politics so i have nothing to say in that aspect same applies to mining, am not a miner, never tried it so i know next to nothing regarding mining, there was a campaign i was about joining but part of the requirement was that participants must make 3 post on the mining section that made withdraw from participating,
if less people visit such sections the campaign may not count post there since only few people can view the signature.

If one area is showing up as consistently worthless then they're throwing money away by paying people to post in there. I presume they can tell whether a click has come from one particular section and not enough are derived from that bit.


If you've got nothing to contribute to an area then keep your silence or you may have arousing questions. Same reason I would never sign up for a gambling campaign. I know nothing about it and I think it's shit.

You can always find a signature campaign that allows posting in any boards if you want to post in Politics and Society or even Beginner's & Help boards. Because of these boards/sections are non-crypto related topics, for example, I am wearing gambling related signature so I must post in the gambling section. Investors or visitors will visit most likely in discussions boards either bitcoin, altcoin or in trading discussion board but if you are passionate about gambling you can also visit on gambling section. It depends on the owner of that project where they like to show their name in the signature.

If you love to post on that board, go on! and share your knowledgeable thought even it is not counted on your campaign as long as you are helping forum not by spamming. A good quality poster will be rewarded.

There are different reasons those campaigns may not count on that board but if it what's they want better you stick to those rules.

Better to learn more about those things and if you know better now that's where you should ask and contribute, rather it may seem to be just trolling on that topic. Observation and grasping some knowledge at all will help you to be better on that side.

Just read the latter statement I just give.

Yes, it is a point you should know. There are some boards are easily to make spamming posts. And such boards are less interesting for real users, whom less likely visit those boards. However, I don't say that Politics & Society is the less interesting board for established users.
If you don't have anything constructive, don't think of posting. That's easy.
Additionally, it is likely a wrong way to jump to campaigns, in your early days in the forum. Instead, you should spend your time to read unofficial forum rules, and forum structures.
I answered this in your previous thread.

Why do signature campaigns not count posts in Politics and Society?

This is my first campaign and I am at a loss. I have spent hours and now days reading and its always  good information.  But trying to find a place to contribute something has been tough.  As a new member, I don't feel as though I am qualified to post anywhere else. And I already got one post deleted for saying congratulations and asking about the music in an add.

When you are at the very beginning it is even hard to know what to ask or how to contribute in any way

So am wondering why would there be no count on Politics and Society?  At least there I could contribute something.

And more importantly, how do you contribute quality posts in areas you know nothing about?
