Being a self starter with undiagnosed schizophrenia a plus. Title: Re: Emergency! We Have No Traffic! SEND IN THE SPAM!

We tried, but he wouldn't take kicks in the groin and forcefed razor blades for pay. Title: Re: Emergency! We Have No Traffic! SEND IN THE SPAM! Post by: Llava on September 26, 2005, 02:10:47 PM I really like how they expect "an absolute minimum of 35 posts/threads per hour." That's about 30 seconds to write a new post, 45 seconds to look around and read other posts, 15 seconds spent loading pages, 15 seconds to think of something to say. At $6 an hour.

That's about 5 seconds to write "First post!", 2 seconds to look around and read other posts, 15 seconds spent loading pages, 2 seconds to write "Bump". At $6 an hour. fixed that a bit.

It does seem like the kind of job from which it would be fun to get yourself fired. Title: Re: Emergency! We Have No Traffic! SEND IN THE SPAM!

Title: Re: Emergency! We Have No Traffic! SEND IN THE SPAM! Post by: Paelos on September 26, 2005, 07:08:59 PM 35 posts an hour? Even when I was bored off my ass at my desk job I barely put up 20 a day. That's seriously way too much posting for anything remotely, "intelligent".
Title: Re: Emergency! We Have No Traffic! SEND IN THE SPAM! Post by: schild on September 26, 2005, 08:04:39 PM Maybe we can just mirror useless news there. Take the $6/hr and make contests out of it. Shockeye would be so proud if this subforum could generate the dollarz.
