His latest promotion involves people wearing the prime dice signature so he is probably trying to get as much non-paid advertising in as he can before he starts the campaign. He will probably not start it until at least the promotion is over

Just check Stunna's latest posts. https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/911256.msg10006474#msg10006474

Because we don't make shitposts and Stunna wanted to close it whilst he came up with a way to control the spam it was unfortunately causing. He seems to have come up with some solutions and the campaign will be resuming for everyone shortly but with stricter restrictions and controls on participants.

True, but I think that there is more to it than just that.

Limiting the campaign to just Staff was a simple way to reduce costs and stress while still maintaining a presence on the boards.

There were still posts being made by some people who moved onto the PD referral campaign - that had the potential to feature shitposts too, although the effort vs reward was very much luck-based.

After valentine's day there will be Easter, after that something else.. dont get your hopes up, PD was allways late.
There are always other sig. campaigns.

cheers

Primedice is usually on-time, occasionally late, but they're never liars.

If that's what you mean

Wasn't the launch of PD3 delayed for months? Although the delay was probably justified since it would have been a huge disaster if Stunna launched the new site without fully checking that the whole thing worked properly with no serious bugs, possible exploits, etc. And even then, it wasn't exactly a problem-free launch either. I remember the site went down a few times, was sluggish, etc. in the immediate days after the big launch. Then after a while, Stunna had to reduce the faucet payouts and adjust the amount of points that you can get from the chat since too many people were abusing/spamming it.

They're not liars though, of course, but I think we all already know that.

I don't think it means as soon as possible as he could have implemented some kind of manual system where someone like hilarioiusandco would check/verify the post counts prior to sending payment to participants (even if his "flawed" system was to be used)

Actually it is possible (though not common) for deleted posts to add to post counts, a bug I found a while back. Recalculating forum stats will fix it, that's not done regularly though, just whenever I think about it.

Oops. Didn't realize that was the case. So I guess this exploit will be more difficult to patch than I first thought. Poor Stunna.

EDIT: Then again, with a budget of 50 BTC per month, I guess Stunna could easily hire someone to double check the post counts if it's not possible for it to be fully automated.
