Why was your campaign submission declined?

Let me explain this is simple terms for those who still do not understand.  You do not get credits simply for joining a paid to campaign, you get the credits for completing the task.  If you do not complete it satisfactorily, your campaign submission will be declined.  so let me explain the five areas that will result in your submission being declined.  

Advertising-It does not matter if you use a link or not.  Campaigns are not created for you to advertise so do not advertise in any way, shape or form.  If you do your submission will be declined and you will not receive the credits.

Nonsense/gibberish/unintelligible comments-  Submissions in the form of a line of question marks or other punctuation marks, random series of letters and the DINGDINGDINGDING are complete nonsense.  Submit nonsense and your submission will be declined and you will not receive the credits.

Unrelated comments-Read the task requirement.  submitting comments and posts that has nothing to do with the campaign will result in your submission being declined and you will not receive the credits.

Plagiarism-Copying any part of the campaign and submitting it will result in your submission being declined and you will not receive the credits.

Now I want everyone to understand this very clearly.  All of the above reasons for your submission being declined is also ABUSE.  Doing any one of the above will result in members using that report abuse button to report you.  Many of you are already so heaped up with abuse reports it's not funny and you continue to do the exact same thing again and again.  I will say enjoy it now because you will soon be shown the door.  

The last thing that will get your submission declined is failing to satisfy the requirements of the task.  Please read the task requirement completely and do what it says.  If the requirement is 350-500 words, do not make a submission of 150 words.  Your submission will be declined.  Make sure that you satisfy the task requirement.

Understand that the credits you get for joining a campaign are not released until the campaign creator releases them to you by accepting your submission and they are NOT REQUIRED to accept your submission just because you make it.  They are only required to accept submissions that fill the task requirement.

Yes, I agree with you, Gilberto. And it's good to see that campaigns get better content in comments.

@Kristy Thank you for the comment.

Yes Phillip good advice since a signature link is fine, encouraged even. Links in comments are spam.

I do hope the "report abuse" will appear on testimonials too. I have seen so many spams there when I do contact requests and can't tell to the person until the request is accepted, and by that time, I have forgotten who was spammed, because I don't have time to take notes. BTW, do check the testimonials you accept before making them visible. If not, you show you don't take testimonials seriously, IMHO. I'm surprised, because it's an awesome feature to build credibility, it shows your actions are

Just my 2 cents here. Some people have said in their comments that spammers don't read or listen or learn. Well, among the people who have commented in this blog, I have seen one who kept posting useless unreadable gibberish in other blogs and is now posting his opinion in a clear manner here. I noticed he has also created campaigns, so I guess he's started to take his business seriously. Amen to that.

Yes Chad they do apply everywhere. It is why the report abuse button was added to all comments. Any member seeing any of those things being done should click that link and report it. that way we can clean out the spammers and have a site that is beneficial to ALL members.

All of the things you have listed here shouldn't just apply here either. On any blog or forum discussion or where ever you are participating we should all be using commons sense. Maybe some who claim ignorance really are, however, netiquette lessons are never fun when it's learned the hard way.

I want to make sure that the whole concept is well understood including the reasons for declining submissions. To break it down to the bare minimum there are really only two reasons for declining submissions-
1. The submission was some form of abuse or
2. The submission requirement was not met.
