eligible posts

The first time I did "paid to post", I didn't know you could pick the 3 posts that you wanted. I thought you had to post the first 3, well I got turned down as well. Since then I've been fine.

Mardukblood2009,  I can see that you are a long time member with a lot of experience here in the forum.  This was probably an isolated glitch, but it's always a good idea to have extra posts during the month when you are working toward your bonus.  The Internet is so unpredictable, you never know what will happen next!

The first 7 posts that I did this month for some reason are not eligible. I just don't get it. I hope there is not a problem with this now. All most posts are always eligible.

I don't know if you resolved it or not, but make sure you're posting in the right thread. It looks like your first few posts were in the Word Chains and Countdown thread, which do not count toward your 30 posts. Also, anything you post in the Contests and Promotions thread don't count. All other threads do. Just make sure your posts are more than 2 or 3 words and are contributory and you should be fine.

If you did them on first day before 3am that means it was still December, at 3:01 am it was January.

I am sorry to hear you didn't get paid for your Forum entries. Before I started posting here, I watched the tutorial videos on all aspects of the site including the forum pages. Firstly, did you know that you only get paid to post on the "Off Topic" section of the Forum? Entries to the other sections such as "Support", "Offers" etc, whilst very useful, do not pay so this is important to note. The other thing is that your posts have to be contributory in some way. So you can't just add a couple of words to somebody else's topic (like "Yeah" or "I agree") and expect to be paid. This is a community and we all benefit from sharing a little bit of ourselves on the forum. Treat it like a conversation you might have on the phone and you will be fine.

I have never had a problem either, but this is a new year.  I usually always post more than 30 though, just in case.  I guess I really dont know what what would disqualify a post, unless it is just one word or something.  Does anyone know the qualifications for posts?

I copied and pasted this from our forum posting page instructions:

- A contributory post is one that offers some insight, makes people laugh, carries a conversation, provides information or help, or something along those lines.  It's not spam, or an attempt to make money for oneself, and it's not short or missing content.  Basically, if you post just to meet the 30 post requirement, you won't qualify.

Hope this helps you. If not, I'm sorry.
