It's sometimes hurting when you quote or mention someone with the mind to further engage in conversation with the person, but the fellow might never return again to the thread. Could it be these set of users that Royse777 and Hhampuz complain that they use the forum in a wrong way or they post for weekly pay.

OP, could you elaborate on the second part of the above statement (about the complaining thing)?

I meant that some members of this forum doesn't use the forum in a better way that promotes healthy discussion. They will login their accounts, punch in some posts and offline without regards to other activities happening in the forum. They do not also join conversations, at most they will reply the OP directly and that's it.
Some of the campaign managers who read these posts weekly frown at that pattern of posting which I also emphasised in OP.

Hhampuz hinted on this when he made changes in the Roobet campaign

I've made some notable changes to the roster of this campaign. A total of 6 members were removed for various reasons such as activity, posting habits and overall posting quality. If you were removed - don't feel too bad! I just don't want users to join a relaxed campaign like this one and then punch in week in and week out making 15 posts without adding any substance or holding any real conversations with other users. You may disagree and tell me that you shouldn't fall into that category but I've been looking at weeks and weeks of your posting history and it's more or less the same.

Royse777 likes it when users engage in conversations in different boards rather than dropping random unconnected posts to complete the campaign requirements [/color]

Please apply if you are a regular poster and enjoy discussion on different topics.

Little Mouse lamented about this in Flush campaign where some users were making the exact posts according to the campaign rules. It is just like after hitting the 25 posts requirements for sinbad campaign, you will no longer respond to conversations or use the forum till the next week you start afresh and make exact 25 posts again

One more: If you are posting only the minimum to follow the campaign rules, I will be hard on the rules. But if you are using the forum as usual, you will have more flexible rules in the campaign. I will even make exceptional rules for you.

I had to do some search to get these posts from the managers. I believe you must have understood my points. It is not actually easy to make some connected sentences for understanding of others let alone for their reading pleasure.

I've been seeing mentions of said bots for a long time now, and for whatever reason I can't break the habit of being closed-minded about tech stuff I've never used. Sounds like a bot would be useful to me, even after all these years on the forum doing things the hard way.

It will definitely be useful but you already mentioned that you don't use telegram. Unless you will set up one only for this purpose. It's really hectic using this forum without mention bots. You will definitely miss out some conversations or mentions.
