Hiring Crypto Writers

[on1k3n 470]

I see that many of the people posting on this site aren't really taking posting as seriously as they should. I wanted to ask the admins, would they get better results if they interviewed the writers. Instead of taking anyone, you should make them write 10 or 20 test posts, and grade them on their performance, and then they can post for money. It would stop a lot of spammers from getting paid, and you can get a feel for how the person writes. What does the forum think should CryptoTalk hire writers or is it better to leave it open?

I think the admins has overcome it in another way, as evidenced by many users complaining because they are not paid. maybe most of them reply to topics from spammers and/or quote spammers which are then deleted by the admin.

i do not agree everyone must have a chance maybe one at the beginning is not good but with time and experience can become a very good writer a good helper for the community and the forum

This forum is for the learners and experienced persons, so both can participate, but we see here spammers who doesn't know the forum rules.

Hiring content writers are good for the thread starters, however we know newbies also need answers from us. Do you think the admin is going to pay those writers?

[Migo 7946]

Not all of the members are what you think about them, some of them are really doing their best to give valuable informations, don't forget there is newbies here we should give them some time to learn

This is probably the best take on the issue yet. How about also have a face to face interviews in some London or New York office? Surely the mods and admins have time for this.

They could do this if they wanted to, and I'm sure by your lengthy reply they would hire you. I think it's a great idea because it would give people like me more money, and people like you would be left to fend for themselves. Thanks for commenting, I needed to know that I'm on the right track. You just proved my point.

This suggestion will not only cost money, but is time-consuming as well. Admins and mods have to interview users manually and one by one to do that. We already have a few thousand members in the forum, and some more in the future, and asking for an interview from them all would be too much.

 

And there is no guarantee that those who passed the interview will not just spam shit later on.

 

Do they do things like these at other forums, i.e. Bitcointalk, may I ask?

You want to drag an admin or a mod, and some random dude from some who-knows-what place, and spend money for airplane and other transport tickets just to get a face-to-face interview in some London or New York office? Are you serious?

EDIT1: This reply of mine is just sarcasm too, Moon.

 

EDIT2: I'll quit posting on this thread, as OP is now on tilt LOL, and the sharks are smelling blood...

I don't think that there are many peoples who are not writing post seriously ,  i think there are just less number of peoples who have no idea about the forum rules and just writing post as a spam.

[nahidfresh99 465]

i dont   thinks that the forum should appoint writers. If everyone here is writing about good quality and proper subject, then it is not necessary. So everyone should write about the important things. And i  am also  think for the spammers get ban here

It's not as time consuming as you may think. They could just assign one person to interview writers for the job. Once they do that they can slowly weed out the people that write bad posts. You can also interview them on video chat as well. It's not out of the ordinary the last site I wrote for they would make you take a test. Notice the quality of writers when you do an open call. I'm just trying to help them, but you can't really see that can you? 

[josephrioveros123 698]

I think this forum is for us to learn about crypto or to exchange information about crypto. What you say is good and maybe can make the quality of the post here much better. But how about the begginers? Maybe in the start. They don't post so good. But when they post a lot they become better and better because of the info they learned and the practice of posting more and more every day. That is why what you are trying to say or what you want is somehow not applicable. Or not that good for the community. Not all will  be benefited.

That person is already spending time for doing interviews. And unless that person is willing to work for just peanuts, he/she has to be paid for his/her service as well.

Using the [report post] button can also do the job. Trust me, I use that feature a whole LOT, and I am NOT even getting paid for it.

Yes I do. That is why I am pointing out some of the cons as opposed to the pros. If nothing is to be done about it, your suggestion will most likely be ignored. There are already a lot of suggestions to improve the forum, if you happened to notice. What happened to them?

Looks like I'm not the only one who shares this view.

 

Let's just wait until this whole pay-per-post thing has ended and see how the forum fares from there.

 

EDIT: Yep, OP, and a few others, are on tilt alright 😄 . Quite the toxic thread we got here.

Yes maybe when that happen many company that want to advertise their projects will invest on this forum and the members that are using this forum will be benefited with that.

No, I was being sarcastic, sorry if you missed it.

That's right, admins and moderators have done their best and as a result, many people complain they are not paid even though it is their mistake not to make constructive posts.

But it's a market for crypto currencies !! It is possible that this person who does not know how to write his article is more expert in cryptocurrency! It's not a literature contest! My dear friend !

It's not a literature contest, but they are paying you to post, so there should be some kind of quality control. You've obviously haven't been paid to post before, so I don't expect you to understand.

 

If you don't know how to write why would you sign up to be paid to post? Do you also sign up to singing competitions and you can't sing? Use some common sense please.

Si vous ne savez pas écrire, pourquoi voudriez-vous payer pour être payé? Est-ce que vous vous inscrivez aussi aux compétitions de chant et vous ne pouvez pas chanter? Utilisez du bon sens s'il vous plaît. 

And by what right do you speak to me that way! You are a moderator or owner of this forum!, Every person is free to write what he thinks. and for a forum of more than 15,000 members. you want everyone to write wonders! And put yourself in your head, I'm not for satoshi but to meet people like you! Thank you.

Very nice suggestion it will make valid post for forum and the writer will  make us understand what the topic is .it would become good lecture(in term) for all members and they will easily discuss the topic.

Well you mean to restrict the boundaries and follow the rules of domination again. that's true there are so many peoples here who post and don't even know what are they posting. for that we must start a rank system in which legit writers gain votes and get more payments.

I was thinking the same thing that maybe the best writers would get paid more. Leave the people who write two sentences will make zero satoshi's. The average writers can earn 1000-3000 satoshi, but the best writers can make up to 4000-5000 satoshi's per post.

 

I'm sure you will get all kinds of people complaining in the threads about their pay scale. Saying why aren't they earning more, but they refuse to actually participate. Hopefully something will change soon, and we can get back to work.

I like your idea. It's more like "user testing" where admins test the potential users and their writing skills and give them the thumbs up if they meet the requirements desired. It could make our forum more sofisticated and we could get rid from spammers. But the admins would need more mod to make this possible!

I would be up to do it, if they pay me. I wouldn't care because it was my idea after all. They could just let me see the person post 10 times, and I can tell right away if this person is a good writer or not. There's not thousands of people on this site. There's only 2 people in the recently browsing list right now. 

 

Hiring people from the forum to help out would be a good idea too. Of course you would have to know English very well, otherwise it would be the blind leading the blind. I'm trying to get a filter system in place, so we can get rid of low quality content.

They are going to need more than just mods, it is going to block freedom of people to contribute fairly in the community so they are going to need serious patient

No, it will make the new users to post quality and not quantity. It's not blocking freedom since you can post whatever you want, and someone will check your posts and decide if you are worth of this forum.

[Crypto123 0]

This is a good opinion, but it is possible that the moderators have another opinion and they do the opposite thing, that is, they leave the forum open to write for a period of time and then look at the good writers in the forum and hire them for writing and stop paying for the rest. This is a forum-specific policy and we don't know what they think.
