Yes, but he stated this somewhere in the thread, new applicants are not aware of that unless they decide to go through every post in the thread. Updating 1st or 2nd post wouldn't hurt.
Somewhere? It's the first reply, my very first post in the whole thread. You should read as much.
If this is tolerated, then why wouldn't someone apply this campaign model:
1- Advertised campaign, offer attractive rates. You can even use trusted escrow.
2- Never reply, don't accept/reject anyone, so you don't have to pay a single satoshi (since no one is officially accepted).
3- People will be losing patience and moving on, but new ones will surely keep coming in.
4- Congrats, you got constant stream of free advertising.
5- Not require applicants to wear the signature before being enrolled, thus offsetting points 1 to 4
It takes literally seconds to write a quick update and let applicants know on what's causing the delay etc.
I was expecting an answer within the day, I didn't get one.
An update that says nothing is worthless, thus there was none.
As a basic rule, I dont make new enrollments as long as I don't have sufficient funds to cover payments.
Since the escrow was empty after the last payment, and I had requested an escrow refill, I delayed enrollments untill that happened.
And yes, indeed, this might take 9 days (not like the speed depends on me).
