Just a reminder to those flooding forums

In your booster account it states that you should post no more than 10 to 15 posts a day in each forum you are assigned to. You sould also post one new thread every time you post 6 or 7 replies. Posting over 50 replies in one forum and 80 replies in another in one day is breaking the rules and its highly annoying to other boosters and forum owners. The forum owner pays for X amount of posts....not to have the boost finished to quickly. Flooding the forums finishes the boost too soon.

Yes, they want their forums to flow naturally, too, not be the victim of a Mad Spammer. I have a couple assigned where if I did that many posts in a day I would have to be talking to myself anyway Wink

I agree with both of you but I also must point out that I know a few people here that have been posting a lot on a few forums are doing so because they have been waiting weeks for new forums and are down to 1 or 2 postable forums. I personally do not have this issue but am well aware of a few who are going through this.

I wonder if there is somehow the ability to throw some back. ..I have been assigned some that I really feel I can't contribute to. I could research till the cows came home on the topics but would not feel I could converse intelligently about a videogame I've never played, for example. I'm doing more content writing now anyway. I would gladly put up those forums for others that could do better with the topics.

I try to keep track of my posts so that I do one thread for each post. I only have a few I can post on too. But I do start new topics.

I don't think having only a few forums that one can post in is a reason to spam forums. If you look at it from the point of view of the forum owner, it might make more sense. They're paying for a boost and don't want it done in a day or two.

I don't think it justifies spamming either and it's hardly going to put them on top of the list for new forums if the owners of the forums they spam complain about them....

Having set limits is always a good idea to keep in mind. I know from owning a few forums in my time those that tend to being "postaholics" always end up being the ones that most people really never pay any attention to. Sad

I have said this before and I will mention it again, I really think each section here and when we log onto the booster page that it is clearly written for all to see, unless you really look you will see a small mention about how many posts to do.

I have to admit when I joined here first I had no clue there was a minimum and I did post like there was no tomorrow, I also feel that site owners should put in the comments beside their site name how many posts per day are required.

many people skip over rules and threads and just start posting, this is common practice on alot of sites, people just want to start earning and if they know they can be paid for posting 50 posts in one day rather than 15 then 50 will be posted if they are able.

Unless some sort of system is set up that the site the person is posting in automatically stops you from entering more posts then I am afraid to say it will continue and with new people joining every day there really does need to be someone watching and counting and reminding. Idea

I agree one of the most important things in reading the rules, it is the same with any forum or website. It amazes me how few people bother to do this and then end up doing stuff wrong.

I am waiting for approval. I would not do this mistake if I am approved. Thats an informative topic Wink

This is what I have started doing... I currently have 8 forums now I can post in (thank goodness) I will post 6 to 7 posts and 1 thread per day per forum. I write them down as I go. If I get down to only a few forums I can post on I guess I will just not make any money for a few weeks.

I haven't even made my five posts so I can apply yet, and know that over-posting would be a problem.

Hopefully they can get it under control, or forums won't see as much value in the boosting and there won't be enough posts to go around!

Enthusiasm, the double edged sword that it is...

So, is there no control flow for boost spammers? Can they choke out a job single handedly leaving less work for others? In the sign up, it looked like there was a cap, is the cap more of a gentleman's agreement not to go over?
