Tonight the sig market starts. New sig rule change!!
 

Good news for sig buyers and sellers.

Since the sig market starts 2nite, I wanted to let everyone know that we are now allowing sigs to be sold on a per-post or impression basis. HOWEVER, if you are selling your sigs on this basis, useless posts will result in bannage. So the rule here really is that you should continue to post normally, and not post for posting's sake.

I also encourage anyone who buys sigs via this method to require a 6 word minimum per post, but that's their business. If someone buys sigs and tolerates one-word posts, than we will have no choice but to ban the poster who does this.

sig whores on a summer break!

ok

Summer slow down for sig whores?

I think you mean "useless posts"... not "unless posts" :winkwink:

It'll be tough to monitor it all, but I do agree. I'd hate for it to become a whole new ars sig whore situation... but per impression is the best for the buyers to ensure they're getting their money's worth.

:thumbsup

:glugglug

thank god , i honestly dont know why you care about one word posts. but whatever.

I would think that actual "per click that leads to program signup" would be more important.....

this will be impossible to monitor...unless you put a team on it
Maybe you need to add another rule, that per impressions sigs can only be sold to people who registered 6 or 12 months ago

Heh, well... that's what webmaster referal programs are for. That already happens :winkwink:

:thumbsup

Translation: Business as usual so get to sigwhoring and make me some more money.

:1orglaugh

Should I sell my empty sig?

Are those all the rules, or is there a minimum number of posts as well?

I haven't seen too many people doing that...But like mentioned before,you're going to need more eyes to monitor it.

I didnt go out last night. I didnt get laid either. I am sorry to dissapoint you and GFY. I feel ashamed. :anon :anon :anon

I think you need to have been a member for at least 3 months.

Sweet. Great new rule... I LIKE IT!!!! :thumbsup

Except I am locked in till December this year... I sold cheap :1orglaugh

Ahh, thanks for that, MaskedMan. Guess my 20+ posts per day are just worthless, hehe. (no need to agree, honest)

do my one word 'idiot' posts apply here?

idiot




:Graucho

:thumbsup

Or congrats?

oh boy.........this is gonna be funny to watch

Yea, you can relax and watch the game if you have already sold :glugglug

Will this revive the sig market? :)

:thumbsup

Should be a good one.

This space for rent.

I would never

...abuse the system.

It's precisely those one-icon-only replies that are the most annoying.

Granted there are certainly times when a thread response can be summed up in a single icon. It's when you see the same folks doing that constantly (and rarely anything other than that) which is overboard.

Shit, I could have a five-digit post count too if all of my posts consisted of a single mouse click. :1orglaugh

LOL
:1orglaugh

Hope everyone has fun with sigday!

yet again we are heavily supporting the downfall of GFY as a quality webmaster board.

Sometimes 1 word posts are all you need to get your point across :2 cents:

Depending on how one reads that....:1orglaugh

Looks good. Remember it's for the childrens! Donate all proceeds to ethiopia's future!

Good Rule, hope it cuts down on "board clutter". :thumbsup

NOOOOO

I really hope you will enforce the bannage because this will become ARS #2 again

OMFG dude ... you are pathetic ...

Not really ... it always depends on what the program wants . Topbucks from what I understand buy sigs to get their name arround ... they are already well known and they want to keep their name everywhere :)

How so ? Give me an example :) thx

What about implied words? Like if Sleazy types "idiot" but ACTUALLY MEANS "Oh my god you are such an idiot that words do not exist to describe your lack of.. whatever the hell it is that you don't have, but really responding to your post is a waste of my precious time, so I'll just call you an idiot."

Surely that should meet the 6 word limit. :thumbsup

OK

*Are those not selling sigs allowed one word posts? :1orglaugh *

I dont think people like sleazy will be on a pay per post schedule . I wont, unless everybody stats doing that ... I got a deal anyways

:glugglug

I dont agree with that . One icon, I skip the post . If I have to read a thread where 50 % of the posts are total bullshit (aka ars sig whores) that piss me off. That just dilute the content so much

:thumbsup :thumbsup

I forgot all abbout sigwhore day! Yayyyyyyyy

why? because I'm smart enough to see that this move is in response to loss of revenue/page views from the ARS siggers?
What does Lensman care for the "quality" of this board? The search never works, there is almost no moderation, etc..He still makes whatever he makes from it. Less than 6 word replies are one of the least consequential factors affecting quality of this board in my opinion. And as far as Lensman is concerned, I think that would probably be a good thing.
