I tried to apply to one campaign, but my attempts were unsuccessful. I decided that it was better to know where not to apply so as not to be in a party with spammers.
I have these to say;
- Spam is an individual based crime and not a campaign based crime
- Although some campaign rules can indirectly instigate spamming
- Stake has been called out as a spam campaign, but I have these to say about stake
a. Stake minimum post to be paid is 25 posts which is ok. It is the bonus arrangement that makes her campaign participants wants to make upto 100 posts to have maximum pay.
b. Before now we could call stake campaign participants spammers but now they are no more. It seems that the manager made a certain rule that makes these guys post long wall of texts. I mean upto 80% of them write longer texts than myself. We all know that quality of post in this forum is largely measured by the length of post.
- Spamming doesn't necessarily mean making upto 100 posts per week. Someone could make 100 posts without spamming while someone making 20 posts will spam
- If anyone makes upto 100 posts without bursting (giving upto 5 mins wait time), and these posts are highly connected, I would not call that spamming
- It should be called spamming when it is irrelevant or unsolicited
- I do not see stake participants as spammers just like the then 1xbit. But if I were the manager, in order to erase the stake name in the mind of bitcointalk users whenever spam is mentioned. I'll simply rearrange the campaign to pay participants $100 if they make upto 50 posts, and maybe $125 if they can go 70 posts. The result will be same and the campaign will still dominate the gambling section.
