It is disappointing(concerning?) that a Jr. Member e-whore would have gotten a 5 month upfront payment from aTriz on a 3 year contract
with a clause stating that red trust doesn't matter.
That is not correct I believe. There is no clause addressing a potential trust rating of any kind; there are also no clauses addresses other potential *situations*
I'm going based off of what aTriz stated himself here:
Do you get your money back if she gets negative trust?
Nope
I don't that was in the contract. Technically the contract means I have to buy her sig for 3 years, correct?
..which sounds like there was a clause in the contract exempting this user from negative trust and allowing them to continue in the campaign regardless of what negative trust they get.
Maybe it is because I'm not active in the campaign management business but this seems highly irrational to me?
Campaign management has nothing to do with striking private (custom) advertising deals. In campaign management, negative trust of members is usually a no-go.
I guess I can separate the two as a
publicly run signature campaign and a
privately run signature campaign, but in either case, why would a private advertising deal on this forum include a clause allowing the user to get red trust and still be paid for advertising?
UPDATE:
Thanks, I did not realize the private deal was publicly posted

I'm not quite sure what aTriz meant with his post then?
