Already made that joke Grin

Sorry, I didn't realize once you made a joke it is dead forever. Next time I will check with you first before laughing.

Good lord, you really need to take the stick out of your ass. Did I say it was dead forever? However, I'll be sure to let you know once you finally say something that is even remotely funny.

And what about quality and speed of responding to ban appeals? If it go up as a quality of discussion, i'll vote for it!
Markiz is waiting

If you PM'd Cyrus and theymos more than once or twice and they aren't responding I assume the answer is a 'no'.

I'm not PM'ing admins, we have global mods for such things now .
And what a funny statement "If someone is not answering to PM, that's mean no". Community deserves to hear detailed response in ban appeal topic. I think it will be honest way.

Theymos and cyrus rarely respond to PMs these days probably due to lack of time and sheer number of the PMs they get, but sadly if they don't then you have to take it as a no. It's pot luck if they do, but annoyingly that has a knock on effect of Globals being PMd and 90% of the time we can't do anything about it or we then have to pester them about it and personally I don't really wan't to annoy them with it so if they don't respond I just take that as a no or 'I don't have time'.

However running a campaign the way Darkstar runs his campaigns is going to be more expensive than running a campaign the way stake ran their campaign both to participants and to the manager. If there were tangible reputation consequences to having a campaign run poorly, more companies would have their campaigns run like Darkstars.

Well, those two campaigns are the anomalies and one is probably the most lucrative and the other was one of the measliest in terms of payment, but regardless of whether you pay a lot of little, the quality still needs to be there. Even if you're paying someone pennies if the quality control was there you would still get good content. Sure, many users won't want to join them but regardless of how much you get paid it's still money for nothing. I mean, I get paid zero for every other message board I post on and if the only campaign I could join here was a low paying one then I would because it's still better than nothing. The problem is is when there's no quality control and people start spamming because their livelihoods depend on it. Campaigns don't have to pay ridiculous amount either as a middle ground can be found, just as long as the quality control is there. When a campaign like Stake or Yobit comes along as is literally paying anyone for anything then that's when the abuse becomes rife and has a devastating effect on the forum in the process and it's those campaigns that give sig campaigns in general a bad name. If the sig campaign guidelines where ever enforced then the forum would clean itself up pretty fast, but when we allow campaigns to basically do what they want (and in many cases that is nothing) then it's going to be abused because they can get away with it.
