I just checked the spreadsheet and finally get the ground of some posts asking the 0 stake. Allow me to clarify these first:
1. The first payment was 15th this month (THURSDAY, not Tuesday)?
2. Those who eligible for stake are the ones who manage to posted 15 posts before the date? (It is quite obvious, just wrote to make sure everything is clear, though)
3. The next period will be 22nd this month?
If the answers of 1 and 2 are yeses, then I want to suggest a little help/solution/request/alternative here. If we see the spreadsheet, then we can see that there are a lot of those people are enrolling around 2-3 days before the payment date (I for example, enrolled at 13th) which means they only have 2 days gap to fill the required post. This will sounds a little bit unfair compared to those who enrolled on the first or second day (although some will argue it is the benefit of early bird) because they have a lot more days to complete the minimum post.
So, my suggestion is to add a rule where ifna new participants was enrolling and accepted on 2 or 3 days before the paydate, then their first week (since it was too short) will be ccombined with the second week and they'll got payment on the second week. It will be a win-win for both parties as the participants will have a lot more room to catch his post while the campaign owner will have a "free" half week of promotion. Although Sylon will get a little troubled for sorting these out.
My question number 3 was just so I can understand when will my next "deadline" be
1. First stake distribution (not payment) was June 15th, yes.
2. Those who are eligible for stakes are the ones who post 15 times per week (and follow posting rules) before every Thursday.
3. Yes, next stakes distribution will occur on Thursday, June 22th.
I don't see where it is unfair ? If new comers respect signature campaign rules and do what they have to do, why should not we give them stakes ?

Eh... I think I started it wrong. Allow me to reclarify, I am completely fine with not getting my first week stake (not "payment", noted). My proposition were purely to suggest an idea to better fitting most people's interest and expectations.
Least I want is this wave of new participants asking the same question every week of why they got 0 on their first week. The other way we can do to prevent that is by adding a rule stating we have no rollover for the first week. That way, future new participants will be expected to understand that they can either wait for the first day of the new period to enroll (so they'll have a wider time frame) or just like the rest of the other, do the best for the timeframe left on the weeek he enrolled and be ok if he didn't get the quota, so no more "where's my first stake?" Or "whybdo I got 0 this first week?" posts.
