Companies spend a lot on paid bumping too, the only thing is that’s it’s against the rules for damn good reason, and I’ve seen how many hundreds of red tags handed out for it??
Campaigns can’t “require” their participants to bump their threads, but the managers can publicly state that they will put you right at the top of the list for first dibs on campaign slots if you bump company threads??
How many PMs are you going to get “Hire me and I promise I’ll bump threads for you”..
Look at the “Army of adkinsbet shills” right now..
Top of the list if you shill and defend the company renting your sig space..
Nowhere does it say you must post in a companies thread, you're trying to make this into something bigger then it is. I know it's customary for you forum users to make drama, but it's not necessary.
I am not stating if you post in a companies thread, i'll hire you. I am stating if you earn merits on a regular basis, post occasionally helping the company whom hired you, and do something other then spam the discussion boards, you have a better chance to be hired then the other guys in list 2.
This is not me looking for an army to shill for companies, but I do feel like users should help out in more areas if they can.
