Could signal long term and collect, later. No problem! Patience is easy. Does not prevent me from dumping what I have. Same for everyone else, except new people. They get burned and have to go through the entire process of waiting to actually earn their full potential from their hard work. Their other option is to get burned by choosing to take a hit.
Also, one could signal long term and post every day for 50 weeks. First day of week 51 they dump (Waited forever, it's a given). They also post that day and signal long term. Now they're posting daily, and getting paid daily. Always signaling long term, which now means nothing.
Did I miss something while I was away for summer? Did something break?
