Hi,
**** Paid To Post - Entrance Rules for new members (If you wish to become a paid poster please take note of the following: ****
-- Entrance Rules: Start --
1. You must have a minimum of 50 posts before requesting to join the Paid To Post system.
2. Once you have reached 50 posts please PM the board admin or a moderator requesting to join, member list here: http://www.chatlife.co.uk/clforum/showgroups.php
3. Your posts will be reviewed and if everything is satisfactory you will be invited to join the PTP program, all 50 posts you have made will be credited and out-paid once you have reached a minimum of 100 posts (so 50 more posts - please note the payment cycles below).
4. All decisions made by the board admins/moderators are final and non disputable.
-- Entrance Rules: End --
Ok, getting paid 2 post is different from the competitions we run. The rules for paid 2 post are:
1. All posters will receive $0.15 per credit (each credit = 1 valid post) (the paid amount is promotional and will be for a limited time only)
2. Payouts are made by bank transfer or paypal, we may do WU if you pay applicable fees (but we do reserve the right to refuse WU as a payment method)
3. Payments are made in blocks of 100 credits.
4. You must abide by the board rules at all times.
5. Posts must not be lower than (5 words)
6. If it is found that you are deliberately posting random information with no meaning for discussion your violating posts are automatically removed from the Paid 2 Post offer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 6 Further Explained:
All posts such as but not limited to funny, thanks, nice, I like it, nice share, etc... will not be paid! Admins will decide which of your posts are applicable for Paid to Post. All decisions made by Admins are final. One liner replies to something being said as mentioned above are not part of paid to post, although those replies do comply with "board rules" please be aware that you will not be paid for them.
Rule 6 Explained Some More:
Please do not post for the sake of posting! If it is found that you are posting without first reading the thread then the post is reported and removed from the P2P system, here is a classic example:
http://www.chatlife.co.uk/clforum/showthread.php?t=57
Two posts, 1st One:
Quote:i m not expert i donot watch any sports so i will be not able to participate actively.
- absolutley no reason to write this, and is in direct violation of rule 6.
2nd One:
Quote:yeah that will be very good indeed
- again no reason to post it
Rule 6 Explained Even More:
Rule 6: If it is found that you are delibratley posting random information with no meaning for discussion your violating posts are automatically removed from the Paid 2 Post offer.
-- no meaning for discussion –-
Example (but not limited to): Threads/Post such as:
Your favourite quote,
Your favourite colour,
Your favourite meal,
What song you listening to,
Are not a meaning for discussion, these threads and the posts within them do not qualify for paid to post.
However, these type of threads/posts do:
War in Iraq,
Who will win euro 2008,
Men v Woman,
Where will oil prices move,
These are the types of threads/posts that are perfectly fine and will be paid.
** Flooding the forum with threads is NOT acceptable and violates rule 6. **
** All sticky threads are not part of the PTP program. **
Can I dispute my credit amount?
The answer is no, all decisions made by the board admin is final. However, and on my discretion only, I will provide a list of posts that have been removed in csv format for those that request it.

Thats it, simple and fair, enjoy! And remember to check out the competitions along the way.

Refferal Program
Referrals:
Each person that referrers someone to chatlife will be paid 7 credits for each referral made based on these rules.
1. The person who was referred must reach a minimum level of 50 credits..
2. People that you refer have to use your referral ID and not the Referral thread, this can be found in your UserCP on the front page in a red box.
3. All valid referrals will be added to your credits and paid in the normal payment cycle.
4. All the rules apply to any new member joining, so if anyone creates a double account they WILL be BANNED (both accounts).
Rule 1 Information:
Everyone whether they are part of the PTP system or not can see their credits. It’s only those that are accepted into the program that get payment on those credits.
When will I know my referrer has 50 credits or not?
Simply put, you can ask them or you can ask me. Do not ask me to tell you how many credits they have, I simply won’t tell you. All I will say is if they have met the minimum level of 50 credits or not. Furthermore, as you all know it takes at least 24 hours for me to update everyone’s credit values, so please wait at least 1 day (if you know the amount of the referred credits) before asking for your referrals credits to be added.
What if the person referred stops posting after they have 50 credits?
Does not matter, provided they meet the minimum of 50 credits then you will be awarded the 7 credits for referring them.
What if they are not accepted into the PTP program?
Again, provided they have met the minimum of 50 credits you will still be awarded 7 credits for referring them.
What if they are banned before reaching 50 credits?, what if they had 49 credits and was banned? Would I be able to put them credits onto another referral?
No, all credits are those for that user. You cannot mix and match credits to build up referral credit. I.e. Referred A has 25 credits and Referred B has 25 credits. You cannot add these together to make 50 and then get your referral credits.
What do i do when one of my referrals hits 50 credits after the 24 hour update?
Once one of your referrals has hit 50 credits after all the updates are done then you need to send me a PM telling me who your referral is. Thats it, does not need to be long, something like this.
Example PM:
Quote:Hi,
I'm writing to inform you that my referral "username" has hit 50 credits.
Thanks
Please note that the VB referral is system is fully active so there is no need for referrers to post in the referrals forum anymore.

Chat Life Changes
Hi Everyone,
Well things have been crazy in this forum and it certainly has taken off faster then any off us might have thought.
Now things are busy I can begin to see flaws in the system that needed to be addressed. This has been done now and one of the more notable changes that you can see is your post credits. If you can’t see them, take a look underneath your reputation points, and for those who do not know what rep points are, their in the box that shows your post count.
The PTP (Paid To Post) rules have already been “further explained” once already to accommodate various posts that had been popping up, there about to be explained even further. However, although this cause of action is not necessarily required as not everyone who posts expects to be paid for their posts, I will explain as I want to be as fair as I can, so without further a due, here is Rule Number 6 explained some more.
These are the current PTP Rules:
http://www.chatlife.co.uk/clforum/showthread.php?t=26
I would like to draw your attention to rule 6.
6. If it is found that you are delibratley posting random information with no meaning for discussion your vilolating posts are automatically removed from the Paid 2 Post offer.
-- no meaning for discussion –
Example (but not limited to): Threads/Post such as:
Your favourite quote,
Your favourite colour,
Your favourite meal,
What song you listening to,
Are not a meaning for discussion, these threads and the posts within them do not qualify for paid to post.
However, these type of threads/posts do:
War in Iraq,
Who will win euro 2008,
Men v Woman,
Where will oil prices move,
These are the types of threads/posts that are perfectly fine and will be paid.
** Flooding the forum with threads is NOT acceptable and violates rule 6. **
The forum has turned out to be a lively community and will continue to grow with your help and support, if you see anything that violates the rules let me know by reporting it.
So how do we know what we are going to be paid for?
Now the new modification has been installed, I will be able to quickly fly through the forums and flag posts where needed. I was going to take the board offline while I carried out this task but thought it would make much more sense to take down one category at a time (by hiding it), once I have completed the task on that particular category you will see it again and I will work on the next one.
At the moment, your credits will most likely match your post count, if none of your posts are flagged then this will remain, please note that 1 credit = the current offered post rate.
Can I dispute my credit amount?
The answer is no, all decisions made by the board admin is final. However, and on my discretion only, I will provide a list of posts that have been removed in csv format for those that request it.
Can I be paid early?
Again, this is a no. However, I am willing to help where I can, so if someone is in real need to get paid early send me a PM and I will see what I can do. All I will say is this, if I get 500 PM’s asking to be paid early then no one will, simply because by the time I get through the list it would most likely be pay day anyway.
So why was the PTP program closed to new members?
The reason for this is simple, the board has picked up pace and there is some real quality shining through, however, after long deliberations I have decided to make the following changes.
1. A new user group has been created which all existing members from the date the closer was announced is included.
2. It is no longer by default that you are entered into this program, I am sure many of you know why. I have decided that it should be an invitational system based on professionalism… that’s professionalism and not profession!! I have set a minimum post count of 50 before a new member can be considered for the PTP program. When a new members count hits 50 (and this has to be in the PTP area) and all those posts are incompliance with board rules (that’s board rules not PTP rules) they are then encouraged to send me a PM stating that they would like to be part of the PTP program. I will then make an assessment and then offer an invite if I so choose to.
3. All members that registered prior to this announcement but failed to make a single post on the chat life forum will now have to follow the new entrance rules.
Why have you changed the paid to post from “open to all” to now having rules?
We that’s simple really, the board is now extremely active, and I feel that now there is a minimum post count and invitational system this will ensure that the posts on this board keep a high standard of quality.
Has there been any other changes to the PTP rules?
Yes, there have been some updates to the rules, however, for convenience I will list them here.
Again after much deliberation I have decided that the following forums in the PTP area (Chat Life Community) will be excluded from paid to post.
Jokes
Refferals
Best Web Videos
Magic Tricks
The reason they are being excluded is simply because these forums do not comply with rule 6, although they will stay because they do comply with board rules.
Also, all threads created by me regarding forum information/competitions/offers will not count. Here are some examples:
Chat Life Lottery: http://www.chatlife.co.uk/clforum/showthread.php?t=418
Custom Titles: http://www.chatlife.co.uk/clforum/showthread.php?t=528
Also, all sticky threads are not part of the PTP program.
So what happens to the posts already made in the now excluded forums?
They, since they were included in the PTP program will be assessed just like any other posts in the PTP areas.
When will we know that our credits are correct?
Actually this is quite difficult to answer, as simply put, they may never be. The only real time you can be assured that the credit amount is correct is:
1: Its pay day and all the assessments have been made.
2: You don’t post for a week.
However, for all those wondering what about all the posts we have done already, I will post here once I have gone through the entire forum and updated all the credits, should take no longer than 1-2days.
Why would my credit amount be wrong after you have done the update?
This is because if you continue to post during/after the update the credit amounts wont be updated until I get round to checking the newly added posts. If on the other hand you have never made a violating post and never will then its safe to assume that your credit amount will always remain correct.
Any other rules updated?
Yes, the board rules have been updated to include this rule.
Multi-Posting is NOT Allowed, i.e. don’t reply to three separate members using three separate posts, use the Multi-Quote Option.
Competitions:
Since all the major configurations are now complete (for the mean time) I will be running more competitions for everyone to get involved in, so keep your eyes open for them (one change I will be make thou is a 48 hour start time, so every active member gets to be made aware of the competition before it starts).
Chat Life Market Place:
Well the current members have mixed feelings about this one, however, I for one feel that it is a good move on our part to integrate into the board. There are a lot hard rules in other forums that is making trading more difficult and not as flexible as it used to be so by having this I think those people will find it much easier to complete deals.
What is the member review area?
This area is for buyers and sellers to leave reviews about one another in addition to the itrading system. Each user should credit one thread and include their username. I.E. “Reviews for Daniel” everyone who has traded with the member “Daniel” can then leave a review, negative or positive. This will aid in members making decisions on wether or not a trader should dead with a particular buyer or seller. Reviews can be left in the deal thread as well.
What is the member dispute area?
It is what it says, an area for disputes. If a deal has gone bad then this is the place to tell everyone. Then your fellow members can render assistance where possible and board admins/mods can then take decisive action on the end result.
A webmasters forum?
Yes, I felt this would be another good idea, although a lot of forums have this I think chat life should also. This, like the market place is a non PTP area, however, my plans for this forum is to award credits for issues solved, we will see how active the forum becomes before I implement this idea.
What other issues do you need to work on?
At the moment the only outstanding issue is the fact that the iTrader scores are present in every forum although they only work In the market place.
Can you think of anything else to write Daniel?
Err nope… that’s me done. I think I have covered everything I needed to. If there is something that is not explained clearly enough then feel free to post away and ask any questions you may have. After looking at the changes that have been made, to be honest, I don’t think there major, pretty much all I have done is re-enforced the rules.
Thank you for your time reading this thread, and your continuing support.
Daniel.
