forum bonous denied

[dwiley11]

I would just like an explanation on why my bonous was denied

You had to have 30 or more CONTRIBUTARY posts for the month of November this isnt on a basis of a month since you have signed up. Also to be a contributary post it has to be helpful to other people for the site and not one of those off topic ones that helps people with random stuff. They will decide on if it was helpful to others if not then you will most likely be denied your bonus for this/that month.

Go to the top of this page and click on "been paid yet".

On that landing page, click on the highlighted "forum bonus request form".

On the right side, middle of page, click on the "Click to view all your posts"

All of your forum posts will be listed, number 1 is probably this one and then it goes backward to show the posts of previous months.  Move down the page until you get to the first number in December and then again to first number in November.  Take the difference and you will have the number of posts you made in November.  If that number is less than 30, that's why your bonus was denied.  If it is 30 or more, you should send a support ticket to FC and ask them why the bonus was denied. 

Yes, your posts do need to be meaningful and I believe meaningful posts in any category qualify.  I believe that if the post shows up in this list, it has qualified as being meaningful.

There is a count that shows up just above the "Click to view all your posts"  link that tells you how many posts you've made this month (January).  I check that periodicallly to see where I stand through out the month and when I go over 30, I know I can submit my bonus request form.

The system should not allow you to request a bonus with less than 30 posts.  When a bonus is denied it is almost always because the posts were lacking in content or were otherwise not in the spirit of the promotion.

If the post shows up in the listing does it qualify as being meaningful?  Is the count shown one that can be relied on as a count of meaningful posts?  Or is it just a listing of ALL your posts -- meaningful or not.

Do multiple posts to a given thread count only as one post (ie this is my 2nd post to this thread this month)?

Do posts in response to promotions/contests count as meaningful posts?

[swogden]

Admin:

I just checked the count and listing and the above post did show up in both.

So: in the review of the posts for bonus qualification, will the 2nd and subsequent posts to a thread be dropped or do they count toward the 30?

I've been directing members to this count to check their forum posting, but if it will include all posts - including those that would not qualify for the forum bonus a variety of reasons -- then my explanation needs to be revised.

That's an Unfortunate Outcome  
Be Careful of the "5 Word" or "One Line" Replies  

I don't think they Qualify As Much - Responses Need More Substance  

Also, Try To Post More Than 30 Replies Per Month - It's Best To Be Over, In Case Some Posts Are Insufficient/Lacking

Good Luck Going Forward

When you view your posting history from your forum profile page, that will list ALL posts, even those in the "Contests & Promotions" forum which do not count towards the 30/mo required to request your bonus.

On the Forum Bonus Request Page, you can see your qualified post count for the current month -- this counter does not include posts in "Contests & Promotions" (and thus may not match your post count as you calculate from your post history).  Once this counter gets to 30, you can request your bonus.

If you make multiple posts (replies) in a single topic, each post is counted towards your 30 requirement (unless it's in Contests & Promotions).

When it comes time to credit your bonus, your posts will be reviewed, and it's at that time (and only that time) that posts are subjectively judged by a human being as to whether or not they are "contributory".  As long as they are, your bonus is credited; if they are not contributory, you'll get a private message on the forum about it.

There is no automatic system for auditing whether or not your posts are contributory.  You can make 30 one-word replies and request a bonus.  But naturally, in that case, it would be denied.

Hope this clears it up....

Admin, I tried to check my December history, but for some reason it wouldn't work. Am I too late to redeem it...?

You can apply for the December bonus any time in December AND January.

30 qualifying posts per month and you can not "back track" to a previous month.

If you do random posts then you will not get the 3 dollars.



Read this....

- You must make the posts during a calendar month as measured by FusionCash's official time (located in the top right of each page).
- Bonuses will be credited at the end of following month; please allow UP TO 65 days for crediting.
- 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 wont qualify.

@atam28....

Yes, they do allow you to request your bonus from the previous month and current month only. So, if I forgot to submit for December, I could still request it, but as long as I request it in January. If I wait until February to request December, THEN it would be too late.
