and you would be one of the very few who would do such a thing. Most people don't even read the first post they just go, "FREE OPS!!!! POST POST POST POST POST POST!!!!", and half of them end up asking for an op after the thread creator has already finished giving them[Dookie] wrote: It also helps if you offer free ops and just suggest an op back, because if someones willing to give you a free op alot of the time I return the favour
Rarely works. I used to give out serious constructive ops for free. Out of 80 or so serious ops I gave I recieved, maybe, 4 or 5 in return although to be fair I did specify it wasn't required. Besides, if your goal is to get ops then you should trade them instead of giving them away for free.[Dookie] wrote:It also helps if you offer free ops and just suggest an op back, because if someones willing to give you a free op alot of the time I return the favour
It's funny how some people who don't have english as their first language actually write better than people who do.IcyCloud wrote:Many of my criteria have been covered by what the other folks have said. Recognizability and number of replies definitely factor in. Another thing for me personally is spelling/grammar; if someone can't write an announcement and video description without mangling the English language (with the exception of those who I happen to know don't speak English as their first language), I'm less likely to believe that it's going to be a worthwhile video.

X2. I feel like we're not giving enough attention to some newcomers...Prodigi wrote:Number 1 factor (IMO) would have to be who you are of course. If your name is Castor Troy, Tyler_yj, Sierra Lorna, or Fluxmeister i don't think you're gonna have that much trouble getting some views.
