Limiting Posts in Forum Games

by Fluffy977 » Mon Dec 19, 2011 8:36 am

As a follow up to this thread. I wanted to suggest something to the community that HovR suggested earlier while we were talking about limiting the about of posts that people can post in Forum Games. Let me explain why;

Someone has 429 as of now 12/19/11 12:35 AM (PST). 59.48%of those posts are in Forum Games. That's over half, so as a whole, he has 273 posts in there so doing a little math. 429 - 273 = 156. If we were to take away the Forum Games, he'd have 156 posts. This is why this has become a problem for the Kreatious forums.

Lets take a look at another someone, this someone has 266 posts as of now 12/19/11 12:35 AM (PST). 74.44% of those posts are in the Forum Games. That's way more than half. This person has 198 posts in there. So, again, doing some math 266 - 198 = 68. Again, if we were to take away from games, this person would have 68 posts. This IS a problem now.

So what do you think? Vote! Reply with why we should or should not do this.

As of now I say no. Forum games are a way to connect to the community. Without it all there is is seriousness. We don't want just seriousness. Now, I think that maybe people need to not SPAM as much in the forum games, it's there to have fun, not spam for a high post count.

Psst, at this point all a high post count shows is that you're willing to spam :3

EDit: agree with bond's soon to be suggestion.

I voted other. I say, and I know it's possible, to have forum game posts not count(towards post count).

I have always thought that forums posts shouldn't count, but hadn't stepped forward to say it as it's not a major problem. So yeah, I voted for bonds' idea.

I agree with other. It lets people still have fun with Forum Games without spamming them like a donkey, otherwise known as me. Like that one time Kenny and Mythic had a Forum game battle... Mythic got like 80 posts in 4 minutes. =/ That's just crazy. <.<
I say do it now!

Why does post count matter?

It's not really the post count, but the amount of spam they were making was my main point.
Overall, in one day, they got about 100 posts from Forum games. Isn't that spam? I'm pretty sure.
If you take out their forum posts count, they barely have any posts. Doesn't that say something?
