I would like to share my (negative) experiences at cryptotalk.net I leave it to the readers to decide as they deem fit.
I signed up at the said forum about 5 weeks ago using the id cyberguy, posted a little over 25 posts and got my first payment promptly after requesting it. I happily started posting again, but when I had posted about 20 more posts, suddenly found my membership deleted along with all my posts. All my posts were original content based on facts I had learnt from various sources, but I never did any copy pasting of articles. To get an idea of the type of stuff I posted please have a look at
this thread started by me. This is when I posted here requesting the admin to clarify matters. I know such posts will not interest everyone, but there was nothing in the forum rules against it, so I carried on with a variety of topics that came to my mind.
After my id got deleted I posted
here seeking clarification from the admin and got
this lame reply. I maintained silence and did not try to defend myself in spite of the admin accusing me of making copy paste posts, because I had managed to register again using the same id and had started to post. I was prepared to overlook what had happened. Once again I managed to complete 25 posts, following which I requested a payment. The payment was not as prompt as before, but I received it, and then started posting again. Last Monday, I had completed another set of 25 posts and made a payment request. On Wednesday morning I found once again that my id had been deleted again with all my posts.
I do not understand what sort of forum the admin wishes to build. He accused me of copy pasting merely due to the length of my posts without any further investigation. If someone takes the time to carefully read the posts of some members who have posted over 100 posts it will be quite evident how copy pasting has been done by some of them.
All I can say is be prepared for disappointments if you intend signing up at cryptotalk.net, especially if you intend contributing posts with substance. You are better off trying to earn by blogging.
deleting member and all posts without warning is not cool, but what do you expect from paid-per-post forum? bad idea from the beginning. I'd call that forum rather paid-per-spam
It's much more worse then signature campaigns here on bitcointalk.
