Yeah - if you want to "watch" a thread you don't need to post in it - you can just click "watch".
OMG I just posted twice in a row in the same thread. I'd be accused of trying to increase my signature payout if I had a signature, but after my last excursion into paid-sig land I don't want to go there again...
Don't give up hope because of something like that. I can post as much as I want with my current signature without being afraid that I won't get paid or be punished. I have a gentlemans agreement with the owners of BlockTrail and we discuss stuff if we think it's necarrasy. I get paid biweekly and the amount of
BTC I get per post is quite high. You just need to find the right people to setup something like that.
I was contacted by them because I'm active in the dutch section of the freenode server and because one of the owners is one of the people I talked to quite a bit.
