Default Pay per Post?

is there a product available that I can use to pay my posters?

I want to setup a function where I can pay people to start topics, I tried to use the search function but it wont display results since "pay to post" uses 3 letters each word so it wont work

any ideas are appreciated

thanks

Many people do this manually, when the poster has done enough he will PM the person for the payment.

But it would be nice to have a system that has members enrolled

Sorry to post in an old post. Did anyone figure this out?

I'd like to pay people to post as well, but in my opinion VBCredits, while genius, still is not the same as having a plugin or addon that determines on a monthly basis USER A made 20 posts, therefore 20 times 5 cents a post = $1.00 sent to USER A email, with a click or two worth of work.

As of now I have users with like 20.000 vbcredits, how do I let them realistically get paid when I want to say 1 penny per credit, I'd go broke. But I tried giving away prizes for these credits, and people have enough, they just don't (generally) want to use credits to "buy" things on a forum, it seems strange, I would if I could, but my many members don't.

On the other hand, I have like, tens of thousands of people that would enroll themselves in a pay per post system potentially and would need to hire people just to confirm/send out money manually every month. Maybe I could handle it manually if it were a yearly thing... lol, but who would want to make posts for a year in the eventual promise of a payout?

Not I, I remember 10 years ago a forum I belonged to did this monthly, thousands of people making posts, them paying us 2 cents or whatever per post and like clockwork at the end of the month we'd get our payments: suffice to say they discontinued doing this for whatever reason, probably what I said above, its a pain doing this manually. And what do they use now? Vbcredits.
