One thing I have noticed and I've chatted to a few forum owners they expect a bit too much when it comes to posting packages. It's a free service and you only have to post or do whatever needed to get the forum cash. I expect more from the people I pay real cash to but I don't mind what happens in a posting package as it's still threads and activity for my forum.
 
Being the PTL, I've come across this several times. We have guidelines we follow i.e. 2-3 sentences minimum & post around the forum. There are some niches that can be quite difficult to do. I struggle with those that are just Gaming & Tech. But when we are limited with PTMs, we do the best we can. 🙂
 
Being someone who not only does post packages on other forums as a staff member but also someone who offers a posting service as well. I always ensure that the posts I make are of at least 2 - 3 sentences and around 40 - 70 words per post as well.

Of course for paid work, I do more as that is understandable, they are paying money for the service and I will provide the service I state.

I have never had any complaints from either post packages or paid posting but I have heard of some forum owners that do complain and want more even though they have already had quite a lot and high-quality.
 
Paying people we expect different results, based on how much they get paid. Like anything else when you pay out of your own earnings that you expect to get what you pay for. With posting packaging I never complain as it's very low cheap FP$ fees 😛 plus I always know who is posting and end of the day they are Fourm owners and they are good at what they do and most PTM love doing it 🙂

The end of the day for me is content and having replied to topics to keep them rolling 🙂 even at times I do not read them all
 
I strive to deliver good posts whenever I do a posting package, though I will admit there are some niches I just struggle at. I also have fun whenever I do posting packages because I love posting on forums! 😀 The ones that @ZandraJoi mentioned above I'm good with coming up with content for, but niches like cryptocurrency and even fitness related ones I struggle with and will take a bit longer to come up with content. I'll usually go down the route of asking questions when I don't know much about a niche. I can understand why some admins are particularly picky when it comes to services, they expect packagers to do their best and deliver good posts to keep members engaged.

Don't worry it's not just here 🙂
 
i do agree that some forum owners have very expectations...
Yep, exactly. I've stopped having high or any expectations when it comes to forum ownership. Forums just are not what they used to be. No one posts on them actively every single day etc.

Anime used to be easy, but I tend to not watch much newer anime anymore. The magic just got lost when it comes to that genre/niche of a forum/community. Gaming is still there, but not as big of a spark.
 
When I buy posting packages, I am paying (forum credits or cash), therefore, I expect quality posts. Sadly, many posters are focused only on fulfilling the post quota.
 
I know one thing for sure, if I am offered a posting package, I strive as much as possible to make sure my posts are worthwhile and would contribute positively to the growth of that forum.
 
I think whatever one sets his or her heart to do, he or she must do it well whether it be free or not. Don't indulge of you can't maintain quality.
