Suggestion: Take Away the $3 Forum Posting Bonus

[MessiahMews]

The $3 forum posting bonus is one of the very best features of FC.  I am with several work at home or paid to click sites.  None have a forum even close to FC.  I would still post without the $3 bonus but probably not as often or with so much enthusiasm.   

I agree.  I too, would lose interest if the posting bonus was taken away.  It's hard enough to make money as it is, since alot of things don't always credit for everyone.

Don't you dare take the bonus away.

i really enjoy this site and the community i say keep everything the same more bonuses plz!!!

Sorry I like the posting bonus too much.

I would completely support giving the option of either or to those who want the link vs the $3 bonus. For those who have time to be on here most of the day and time to seek out referrals, the link would be of help.
I have missed 2 months of the bonus because I had NO time to post and barely had time to do the daily e-mail and the 15cent PTC and that is unheard of for me! I don't care about refferals, again due to the time factor (I work a LOT of hours/week), so a link would be of no help to me vs OldBuddy and those who DO have and get lots of referrals.

I would really miss the bonus. I probably wouldn't make time for posting if there wasn't a bonus anymore. It really helps me to get to cashout since I only do the daily website, emails and possibly videos if there are any. Honestly I really don't think the referral link helps in the forum because everyone is already active on fusioncash. The only way to make the referral would be to link to the forum page from an outside site.

Well we got a hot topic started, didn't we?     

I thought that headline would ring a bell, and it sure did.

Could you explain what a link in your signature is?

A signature line is a line of text or a link to a website.  It's used for advertising to get sales and referrals.  When someone includes a signature line they are hoping people will click on the link and buy a product or sign up for a program.  FC use to have signature lines but they turned it off because people were abusing it. 

Does the link in your signature pay more than $3? 

No

  Thanks for the info.  I'll rather have the posting bonus.

However, I think oldbuddy could be on to something.  I understand why the rules are in place in regards to links.  Even with telephone verification needed before posting, this place would turn into a haven of spam.  But, there are many people on here who have been here a long time and proven to be loyal members, rule abiding, and not here to use it purely as a means to try and self promote.

I think it would be intriguing if senior type members were eventually allowed some extra perks (like oldbuddy's idea of linkage in signatures).  How you earned this perk would have to be determined.  Basing it on post counts is not a good method, as a spammer could come in and make a bunch of crappy posts in a month or two to hit the mark.  A better way would be something like x amount of cashouts, x amount of money earned, or even x amount of approved forum bonuses.  Or a combination of any of those if need be.  If you did something like just days as a member, people could still just sign-up and then wait out the time limit without really doing offers.  There also could be levels on these, like once you hit a certain amount, you're allowed one link, the next level allows two links, etc, until you reach a final level where you're only allowed whatever would be determined the max amount of links in a signature.

Just a thought.

I wanted to bump this up, because I liked this idea.

You certainly did start a Hot Topic oldbuddy!
It certainly caused a lot of interest and conversation per the Forum posting rules!!
"- A contributory post is one that offers some insight, makes people laugh, carries a conversation, provides information or help, or something along those lines."

I vote for keeping the $3.00 Posting Bonus.

I'm not for replacing the forum bonus in favor of free advertising/marketing for a month.  As several others stated, some on here either aren't very good marketers, nor care to market.  They're happy earning the money they can through the offers and don't care about referrals.  Heck, some users might not even belong to any other programs besides FusionCash.  So for these type of people, this would be useless, whereas the actual $3.00 is something tangible.  I also agree that the $3.00 bonus makes FusionCash unique from other GPT sites.

I feel like this is the best option. Its a really good solution.

I would be so bumed if the bounus would be gone, no other site has an incentive like it

[girlswin2]

Good idea but like the $3 bucks.

[hagancouple]

i waited for a long time still i have a month to wait before i'll get credit for 3dollar.. hope they keep it

[mmbettyx3]

it's an amazing site. even without the $3 bonus, it still has better incentives than any other GPT I've found. the referral program is just incredible and that's where the money seems to lie in this game. make other people do the work. :p

[gbabesmom]

I like the $3 bonus. I'm almost ready to submit my next 30 posts. Keep it going..it's a great thing.
