I've been thinking of going with unlimited number of posts allowed per user on a pay per post basis. Essentially there will be no limit to how much you can earn. HOWEVER, we will have very strict rules regarding spamming. Hilariousandco would be monitoring all participants very closely and we'd have extremely clear guidelines on what is considered a constructive post. Basically we want to not restrict people but at the same time 100% ensure we aren't having a negative effect on the quality of content posted within this forum.
With this being said, what would a fair pay per post be?
I've noticed competition for pay per post has dropped a lot. There really isn't any campaign willing to pay users out large amounts of BTC. Would people be happy with ~0.0006/post for Sr/Hero? This is lower than where we last left off, but with no limits it'll most likely still be more profitable.
Thoughts?
Keep in mind this is just me thinking aloud and nothing is confirmed what so ever. We're still most likely going with the fixed rates.
It would be interesting since it would be a testing ground to see how much bloat versus productive posts there are
Some months are a lot more interesting than others in Bitcoin and those are the ones where a lot of stuff tends to go down

The Canadian Regulators were what I thought was interesting this month myself and mintpal...
As for The rate of Pay Per Post
At 200 that is 0.12 BTC so its 4X the amount of posting to pass B/E (break even) than Greencoin which I am in which has a 50/mo rate but its a bit of an unusual one in that sense since it was upfront and is 0.02 above the baseline of pretty much everyone else which uses 0.1.
It would have been double the work of pocket dice with 25 posts CAP or 0.03/week making it effectively the same
Only you would need to only do 100 posts but the campaign just closed.
Where it would be attractive at is an average over 200 posts a month or 6.6 posts a day in the forum pretty reasonable not much of a wide range from there, other wise a standby at 50 posts a month for 0.1 would be more attractive.
I guess at around 2 X to 3X the work/ads of a fixed post campaign
The rates would begin to be more attractive at 4X it might be a bit too much work for the effort.
That puts the rate at around 0.0007-0.001/post. (Or I guess upper limit at old Senior Rate)
50 = 0.1 Fixed
@ 0.0006/Post
166 Posts = 0.1
3.32 X The Work of a fixed at 50 rate
50 = 0.1 Fixed
@ 0.0007/Post
142 Posts = 0.1
2.84 X The work of a fixed at 50 rate
50 = 0.1 Fixed
@0.0008/Post
100 = 0.08 So 125 posts would = 0.1 still leaving an upside that H@C maybe Micro etc can monitor while still being an effective checkpoint.
2.5 Times the Work to get a rate higher than the fixed rate.
@ 0.0009/ Post that is 2.2 X the work
111= 0.1
@ 0.001
2X the work
100 = 0.1
50 = 0.1 Fixed
Looking at the range anywhere between 2X to 3X thats between 0.0007 per post to 0.001 makes it attractive in a relative scale
I think 2.5X seems like a good standby point myself but its just one metric so lets others discuss it further.
Offering two types of systems is also a possibility as moneypot runs two models allowing people a Choice instead of choosing one system or another.
The fixed is a lower rate that the pay per post maximum is but also requires less posting so a balance can be maintained.
That said its still the most competitive one for full members presently at pay per post.
To outmode that for Full Members a cap of 100 + 1 would win that ranking tier.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=767639.0I would like to see at least a fixed rate of 0.2 / 200 = 0.001 per post under the old rules for people who would like a fixed system then for those that want the per post rate the 0.0006 could be applied.
