The endorsment program
Arriaes
I decided to start a program to boost media activity in Belgium. I am going to pay citizens based on the amount of votes they get (i won't take in account who published it or what the content of the article is). The idea is very simple. For every vote an article gets i will pay the writer 2 BEF. To clarify what i mean i will give you this example:
Article A has 18 votes, this means that citizen A will recieve 2 BEF for every vote. Therefore citizen A will get 36 BEF transferred to his account for his accomplishment.
This are the "rules":
- To recieve the money you have to be a Belgian citizen
- The article has to be published in Belgium
- Government org's will not recieve any compensation for their articles
- Any article that gained votes by "the voters club" will not recieve any compensation
- The article must be in French, Dutch, English or German
- This program counts for all articles published after this one so articles published today or yesterday will not recieve any money
- Articles asking for votes in return for weapons, food,... do not recieve any money*
- One article can only recieve up to 50BEF*
- Reposts of articles (including translations etc.) do not recieve any money*
- Articles posted by MU's will not recieve any money*
I will fund this program myself but i would highly appreciate donations for this program. I will make a donaters list at the bottem of this article to honor the people who give their money for this program.
As a final note i would like to put a French version of this article online (considering the recent baby boom we had i thought that this would be a good idea) but my French is a little bit "rusty" to say the least XD. Therefore i would appreciate it very much if someone could translate this article.
Donaters list:
*These rules only apply for articles posted after 17:37 Belgian time (or to put this the simple way, Christian you recieve the full bonus for your efforts.

voted 😁 nice idea
It's a very nice idea.
I hope you have an effective way of tracking vote-buyers(bare in mind there are other groups like the voters-club, don't know them)
I too have something fun in store for eBelgium.
This week(probably Tuesday) i will start the preselections of the NotY awards! 😃
I don't really have an idea how to track vote-buying but i will put some investigating in it if see suspicious amounts of votes.
Vote buying is pretty easy to spot, especially in eBE. Articles with low number of response and minimal 50 numbers of votes
I want to give 500 weaponsq7 for the best article in eBelgium
Votes of course come from all over the world. I've voted this from eUK.
Yes, it doesn't matter where the votes come from but only where the writer has citizenship and where it's published (Belgium).
Nice idea 🙂
Ok , please endores my article 😉
You still have more time to gather more votes 😉 you don't want to miss out on that extra money!
