I read everything posted in the topic. In fact I read it from the start to finish just half an hour ago on my phone. Now logged in just to make a response. May be after this post I will make few more posts before going back to my usual routine.
PP eventually you fooled a lot of users LOL. It was a smart move to test many more things than just to find the burst posting. But let's leave everything else behind. Let's talk about burst posting.
I was actually looking at your post intervals yesterday before making my first comment but it did not seem to me burst posting even though I saw somewhere like 8 to 10 or 15 minutes (I fucking don't have time to check again LOL) interval between some posts. Since my understanding of burst posting is shit-post one after another in different threads in x amount of time to fulfill signature quota but I did not see the shit-post in your posts so, I really was not sure if you were trying to show your post history.
Honestly speaking I have the same posting habit like you. Just few weeks ago I left one campaign because I was not able to fulfill their weekly quota to post in gambling section. I volunteered to leave the campaign. Both manager and I are happy. Manager expects me to join some other campaign where he will be able to give me more flexibility once it will be available for him. And the few weeks ago one was not the only one that happened with me. I left many campaign where at some point I found it's not going in my way. I even have several long gaps in activity, sometimes it's several months long several times. I take leave from the place when I feel not right.
There are a lot of us who do the same. They do not care about when and what they are posting. They care to post when they feel there are something for them to talk. The earning from signature for them are a bonus just as a side product.
As a result of this, I have proposed to yahoo62278 to finish this week in the campaign and leave my place for someone else. It has been via PM but it is no secret. I think that the difference in vision was going to end with me leaving the campaign anyway, either me leaving or him kicking me out.
Both you and yahoo62278 are seeing this from two different perspective. As a manager yahoo62278's main concern is to get maximum ROI of the campaigns he is managing. I don't think you both should have hurt feeling towards each others. I can imagine that the PM he left was without having much thought in it.
But it would be nice if yahoo62278 reconsider his view in burst posting. One user above (I am too lazy to find the post and name to bring exact words) said something like:
Don't count the post that you think is burst posting in your terms but again don't consider all posts those have small interval of time even less than five minutes as long as it's on topic and have quality contribution.
After making this post, I may find a topic where I feel like five words are enough to response the conversation. If I do that and if the interval between this post and the next post is 3 minutes then would you say I should unnecessarily make the post longer to make it 300 words and wait half an hour to post it? I am positive that you will not demand it. The best you will do it to ignore the next post from the post counting for the week. But you can not accuse me for making shit post just because it was 5 words long and 3 minutes after the last post.
