Are the posts counted with a bot? Looks like he automatically not counts posts with too few lines then. Actually i had to think quite some time to write that post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=984397.msg10724569#msg10724569 and i think it cant get more constructive than it is. No, i dont complain because of one posts payment. Only wondering. When its really done with a bot then that means helpful posts might not be counted and not good ones can be cheated when the bot only counts words or signs of a post. Though it looked like at least a short look at the last posts page of each member was done manually.

Edit: By the way... on first tab in google sheet i still have a wrong id in the first link.

The reason might also be that it was in german. I know the important part was math, but thats also "non-english".

I think its fine if we dont get paid for one-liners. Everyone posts one from time to time and it should not be a problem unless the majority of your posts are.

Edit: Oh and no, they counted "by hand". I think thats why two people do it.

Edit2: I also think these strict anti-spam rules are important to keep signature campaigns allowed. You (not you personally SebastianJu) should be happy that you get no payment or a little less, because the alternative is a ban and possibly a ban of signature campaigns in general. Dont let the greedy asscramps ruin it for the rest.

Im not against it. I only say that oneliners arent automatically bad posts. In fact my post was very good since after i first thought i know the answer already, i had to search and calculate later, to check things out. It took me some time and it was the perfekt answer. In fact i think short answers often can be the better answers. But even when you would say that short answers automatically are spam... thats no solution at all. In my case... i only would need to add a sentence or two. Wouldnt be a problem. The same goes for spammers. Simply write more and youre done. So treating oneliners as spam might be a fast solution but i think its a rule that can be gamed. Which kills the purpose. And helpful oneliners (i got a thank you for it:)) are treated as spam.

Saying that... if its checked manually anyway then it might be better to not got the oneliner-are-spam-route. It would be pretty easy anyway to identify spammer.
