Is it against the forum rules?
Is it against the forum rules?
I dont think so, well in fact I know its not against the rules, because its not listed as a rule. The question is whether the post is spam or not and this is unrelated to whether you quote a single person or multiple. I think its personal preference. IIRC doog said that he stopped advertising his signature because he was afraid to get a ban because of said posting style. Thats the crux, if you sell your signature you will have a hard time arguing that its just your posting style, esp. if you get paid per post.
....
So the problem is only because I am selling my signature space to bit-x.com? If I didn't wear a signature my two posts would have not been removed, this is very "insane". Only because they are paying me for my posts I can't write 2 posts in a row, but the signature campaign is not against the forum rules and those two posts are not to be considered spam or insubstantial so why all this?
No, not exactly. I dont think there is a problem per se with that posting style. Its like posting in offtopic, its perfectly fine. Its just that when there is a judgement to be made the fact that you have a paid signature might have an influence on the judgement. People will certainly report you more often because you sell your signature. People will see these posts and think "is that just for the extra x satoshi?". If there is no paid signature these thoughts just dont come up, because there is no reason to doubt your motives.
Yes you are right, the unique problem is signature campaign but if the post are not spammy or insubstantial I don't see the reason to delete it or merge. It is my personal choice to make two posts (attached in seconds, for make comfortable the legibility) and as you ( & me) said if I had not a signature I am sure my post would have not been merged
.I hope you understand me, this is really illogical. Sorry guys , if I seem arrogant but this is my point of view (and maybe I am wrong, who knows?).
I understand you perfectly fine. Its like: there is no problem, just dont do it. Im afraid thats what we have to live with. I think its what those spamming brought on the campaigns and those participating. If it feels too restrictive there is always an easy exit.
I will not write 2 posts in a row anymore (also if it is not against the rules) but if I will 'catch' or seen an user do the same will report his posts for sure (I have already reported an user and I would like to see if his posts will be merged or not).
