I guess people are still not aware of the fact what a discussion forum actually is. I have been part of various torrenting forums where I upload movies and TV-series of my self-interest and none paid for me at that time. If every uploader need to be paid for uploading a movie or TV-series which makes the website popular then the admin of the site should pay around $10,000 per month for plenty of uploaders who have been spending their time and money for such stuffs.

The campaign participants are promoting products but are they really helpful for the companies? Almost 90% of the people posting in Gambling Section are posting only for getting paid for their weekly campaign and there are hardly only a few of them being gamblers in real life.

As yahoo said, Signature payments are kinda privilege and they are being paid just for posting in a forum. I have never seen in any of the forums, that posters are being paid for their posting. This payment which I receive is like an extra pay for me per week and they are somewhere very much lesser than what I am getting paid in my real life work. People who are not willing to get a job or have a insane minimal pay rates in their real life might be sticking onto the campaign payments to feed them. Many are striving hard for freelancing works and not many of them are successful in getting one, but the forum provides a very good opportunity to earn money just by wearing a signature and posting.

What price does other forums give for us? None, but people seem to be contributing to every other forum regardless they are getting paid or not. For members receiving alts as payments for campaign : Are everyone doing their work perfectly for what they are getting paid? Posting comes from the user's perspective and not from what they are getting paid for! Even how good they are paid, some seems to post shit and on other hand, even how low they are being paid they would be contributing endlessly.
