When I create a thread and I start commenting on responses received I notice just one comment is included in the number of posts and nor are there earning for the rest of the comments made on that thread

Have I missed something here?

Hi,

I don’t really understand what you are referring to. Please can you give a link to a topic here or a screenshot to help explain where you think something is wrong?

I started commenting on the below mentioned thread that I had created and noticed just one comment was added to the total number of posts and only got paid for one post I have posted two comments in the thread. I wanted to add more comments but I wanted a clarification on whether my comments there would be added to the number of total posts and also paid for..

That is intended behaviour. If no one has posted since your last post in a specific topic, you reply will be automatically merged into your previous message unless 48 hours has passed. That is to stop users making one post into multiple posts just so they can earn multiple times.

When users respond to threads the one who posted that thread has to comment on responses received. But those comments are not added to the number of posts one makes nor paid for . Does that mean we should just leave those responses there even though they deserve a comment?

As far back as can I remember it's always been that way and a wise move or people would be sticking random posts all over the place just to make a penny. If there's something important I want to add and no one has commented since I last posted I don't mind two posts being merged.

You can respond to all of them in one post or make multiple posts and allow them to be merged like you did. There is no need for the same user to have 3 separate posts in a row replying to users when it can all be in one post. There is no need to not reply either. If you are changing your behaviour or not going to reply to all users because you are earning for 1 post only then it shows that maybe you are too focused on the earning side of this site rather than the community side.

If you are replying to multiple posts in a thread at the same time, you only need to make one post to do that. You don't need to make a separate post for every post you reply to.

For example, I can reply to you and to CyberFreak in this post.

Thanks for clarifying that.

On the other hand, if you reply to a topic, then someone replies after you and you want to respond to that, that would be a new and separate post.

I hope that explains it?

"Focused on the earning side? Surely I am and so is everyone else here

Atleast a thread should have more value than a response or comment What say?

The system merges my comments and they are treated as one post. Not all responses are commented on at once but as and when they appear. Since a lot of time is spent on commenting on responses I feel a thread should have more value than a response or comment. Just a suggestion.

I have noticed some who have created threads never come to their thread to comment as perhaps they know they will not earn on those comments. Just saying

I also noticed it once, i made comments on a thread and there was no earning from the reply and the number of posts did not count either so i decided not to post more than two replies on a thread. It is now clear from cyberfreak's response.

I have made a suggestion that may be they can increase the value of a thread. Hope they will consider it.

That is a slightly unfair trimmed quote of my post. I said "TOO focused on the earning side of the site". Obviously most, if not everyone, is focused on the site but some users prefer to try to constantly find ways to earn more for less rather than just accept the rules and how we work and post according to that. The reason we have so many rules and ways of working (such as merging multiple posts in a row like you are referring to here) is because people will exploit it and make pointless replies to earn more for less content. A thread may have hundreds of posts and what is to stop someone from picking 10 posts and quoting 1 post after another and earning $0.15 just from posts in one thread on one day? Half a page would be just one persons posts.

I think both can be more useful than each other depending on the situation. In a thread about "What is the best bitcoin wallet", the replies will tend to be more valuable and useful than the initial post.

Again, like above, user will find the easier way to earn most money. If we offer more FC for starting a new thread, some users will just start 10 threads a day rather than reply to existing ones.

I highly doubt that is the reason unless they misunderstand the way it works in the same way you seem to. You DO earn for replies to your threads aslong as somebody has posted since your last post. In other words

User A starts a topic, User B replies and then User A would earn by replying. Why would that put people off from replying to their own threads that they started? They would earn the same for replying to User B than they would if they posted in a thread started by another user.

In the same way, if a user tries to make multiple posts in a short space of time, they will be merged in both situations and it both situations you will still earn for 1 post unless a new post is created which would happen if someone replied since your previous post so there is no difference at all in the system between users own threads and other users.

When there are already many responses, commenting on all of them I notice are counted as one post. Your explanation is that only those comments on responses that appear after comments are already made on the previous responses will be counted over and above the one post already counted. I hope I have understood you. If that is how the rules are so let them be. I only gave you some feed back.

And about gaming the system where countless threads will be posted should you decide to give them a higher value, that I am sure you can spot and action taken accordingly Almost all users here will not do that including me. I do not even post here some days.

I was a bit shocked to read the discussion as I never experienced it and I thought that it might be some new rule here that I missed. But now I see that there was a bit of confusion here and it has been clarified.

[Kaffyfolla]

I know one or two things about posting and merging of post, I think I you commented on a post and nobody has comment after you and you comes back and comment on the same post, your post will be automatically merged to the former post, and you will not be paid.

[MysticMoons]

I think everyday we can post as much as we wish, but we also need to know once we post 10 posts the rest of the posts are worth less than normal.
