I’ve looked at the spreadsheets for the campaigns, and honestly, they’re disappointing. 99% of the workers barely meet the required number of posts per campaign. If the requirement is 20, they publish between 20-21; if it’s 25, they publish between 25-26... Stop being hypocrites. When I worked, the requirement was 20 posts per week, and I always averaged 40.
So, screw the cheaters. And screw the lazy ones.
It's nice that you shared your opinion about what you think of 99% of the forum members - while I agree that there are many who consider this forum just a business opportunity, I think there are a lot more than the 1% who find this forum a bit more then writing posts to fulfill their weekly quota.
If someone writes between 20 and 30 posts a week, and most sig campaigns have such requirements anyway, why would they be bad or a hypocrite for not writing twice as many posts to prove something? Besides, you use the term
"worked" for your participation in sig campaigns, and that term is mostly used by those for whom the forum is a job - so talking about hypocrisy is not something you should lecture anyone about.
I didn't actually do the calculations; I suppose it's understood that it's an exaggeration to make a satirical reference to what happens in the forum.
So, screw the cheaters. And screw the lazy ones.
Screw campaign manager that doesn’t accept you because you can post more?
That's not what he's saying at all. He's saying he posts more because he genuinely enjoys posting (I know its impossible for you to believe, but some people actually
enjoy posting here). In all probability he doesn't have a host of alt accounts either, so he has more time to post what he wants, when he wants. Imagine that...
He is trying to imposed that his behavior should be the standard here.
If he is enjoying posting then why the heck he needs to apply on signature campaign?
I'm just sharing my opinion, just like you.
It's fair that some view it as a job, and theoretically, it is one. However, I see it more as an incentive because I cannot rely on it to make a living as I would with a formal job, nor does it provide the financial security of consistent, long-term income.
At least that's how I see it.
