What are the Criteria to Participate in Campaign?

[dkbit98]

Most managers likely will not share selection criteria. Some of them may not even have any criteria, they just pick whomever applies on a 1st come 1st serve basis.

I heard some managers have secret black lists and white list of members, I don't know if this is true
It is a bad idea to accept everyone who signs up for campaign, but it's also not easy to find enough quality members willing to apply.
After watching situation with managers in forum last few years, I can say that it's not an easy job at all.

I published my blacklist on the other forum at 1 point, I stopped adding to it after awhile though(at least publicly). I think if users know that it's real, they might go further in trying not to find themselves on it. They might improve their quality.

I know for sure that some managers have their black and white lists. Some don't even keep them a secret.
A long time ago there was a SMAS list on Bitcointalk ([SMAS] Signature Managers against Spam), and it was very difficult for everyone from that list to get involved in a serious campaign.

I remember this on the other forum. They even create a list of 1000 most spammers and DTs give a neutral tag to those users on the list. Some people I know even said that the campaign managers added some of those users to their ignore list and completely avoided interacting with them.

This could motivate some members to improve post quality, but it's a double edged sword, and it can make some people quit the forum.
Than some managers can add someone to black list for all the wrong reasons, maybe because member has a different opinion.

I have a bunch of people ignored because I don't want to waste time reading their posts.

Merits abuse is something that is not investigated very often, but even when it results in negative feedback, it does not mean that the account is automatically destroyed - it used to be like that, but today you have examples of accounts with negative tags from DT1 members participating in the sig campaign without any problems.

That's because the user has a long forum background and has a lot of positive feedback. Sometimes, users get negative feedback just because of disagreement, and we have seen that a couple of times. Sometimes, managers do not care about the negative feedback if the user is worthy enough to be accepted in a campaign.

There is actually a way to find out who gave you negative karma, and I thought it only required payment, but now I checked and I see that it also requires some luck. That option is called The Eye of Sauron - See who gave you karma

Yeah, I know that. But if I am not wrong, you cannot use The Eye of Sauron to check other members' karma stats. You can do it for your own account only. Also, as you mentioned, you need some luck as well.
