Thread Gold
 
As much as I love the fact that you can gain an extra fifty gold for creating a new thread, I do feel that there should be a limit introduced. I have noticed an influx of threads by one person and if you count all the threads that has been made in a very short space in time it will add up to about 1K of gold, just from the bonuses.

Perhaps a 2 thread limit per day could be created? Sort of like the "liking" of threads. You get rewarded twice and any likes after that are non-paid.

I'm definately not suggesting getting rid of this in total, all I'm saying is I think that there should be a gold cap on it.

Anyone agree? Disagree?

jellysundae 10-11-2010 05:02 PM

I disagree to be honest. If someone's making spammy or repeat threads just for the gold then they'll be dealt with soon enough. I think it would be unfair and counter-productive to limit the amount of thread bonuses that people could earn in one day just because an extremely small amount abuse the feature.

PWEEP 10-11-2010 05:33 PM

As long as the topics are legitimate and not spammy, why should there be? People complain that Menewsha is slow and boring. More threads give me more to post in, more people talking. Isn't that what the staff at Mene want? More people in the forums? At least, I think so.

Vexatious~Venom 10-11-2010 06:57 PM

Very fair points, and both pose a very good case that I don't actually have a counter arguement xD

It was just something that I happened to notice today anyway, but yes Pweep, more people in the forums is an upside <3

PWEEP 10-11-2010 06:59 PM

I think I know who you are talking about, and at first it bothered me too. But then I realized it's what the staff wants. More forum activity is a good thing. :yes:

Vexatious~Venom 10-11-2010 07:09 PM

Yeah, and I have to say it is nice to see an uplift in forum activity, the music forum in particular in my opinion. That's where I love lurking xD

Mystic 10-11-2010 07:38 PM

I think I know what you are talking about as well. It bothered me too but it does give people something to post about on the other hand even if the topics aren't really much of a discussion even though they aren't spam so there's no rule breaking going on. I think that 50 gold is a lot for creating a thread but maybe that's just me.

Vexatious~Venom 10-11-2010 08:02 PM

I thought the fifty was a bit high too, personally I'd prefer if it was put down to twenty five, to match with the likes, but that's just me. Either way theres always going to be someone unhappy.

Mystic 10-11-2010 08:45 PM

Yeah, my thing with it is that you can earn up to 30 gold for posting a normal post. I say at least bring it down to equal that. But yeah, you can't please everyone and there will always be that group that will complain about not making enough gold or gold being "too hard to earn".

Vexatious~Venom 10-11-2010 08:47 PM

Yeah, because if your creating, say an RP thread, you're very likely to get the 30g or near enough to that plus the 50g bonus just for making the thread. That was the problem I had too xD

Meh, to me the ones who complain about gold earning aren't prepared to even try to earn it in my opinon :sweat:

Mystic 10-11-2010 08:57 PM

I agree 100% I was thinking of the RP forums and writing forums when I said that. A lot of those posts are long enough to get that at least.

Vexatious~Venom 10-11-2010 09:05 PM

Ah, I forgot about the literature forum. Yeah, those posts are usually long enough to get the full 80g.

Kole_Locke 10-12-2010 06:51 AM

Well it is kind of cool, but to be perfectly honest I kind of feel that glorified post will increase. I think just getting gold for posting was enough really. I'm afraid this may introduce too much gold into the system.

jellysundae 10-12-2010 06:53 AM

May introduce? This system has been in place for a couple of months now and there has been little abuse of it so far.

Angel Spirit Girl 10-12-2010 10:01 PM

I was thinking of making a thread about being here for three years, but I chickened out.

I didn't want to get in trouble.

jellysundae 10-13-2010 06:42 AM

Why would you get into trouble for doing that though, Angel? You seem to have a really deep-rooted fear of making new threads as I've noticed you say things like this before :?

Sizzla 10-13-2010 08:47 PM

Yeah Angel, you could totally make a three-year anniversary thread in Nations without any problems. :yes:

Angel Spirit Girl 10-13-2010 09:24 PM

Not a thread in Menewsha Nations, but in Community Discussion about what has changed and what gone on since then.

Mystic 10-13-2010 11:06 PM

I don't see why you shouldn't. If it has something to discuss then it's fine.

Sizzla 10-14-2010 01:34 PM

Yeah, that sounds like a great thread idea to me! :D DO IT! :XD

monstahh` 10-14-2010 04:04 PM

Honestly, it annoys me when someone makes 5 billion threads in one forum, and most of them are clones of other threads or just lame...That said, mene needs all the activity it can get.
So the best option if you think someone is spamming, is to report them, they'll get the gold taken away or a warning or something.

Mene's staff is pretty quick on the uptake.

kittykondos 12-29-2010 09:53 PM

I too am againest it. If everyone else is for it than why are you complaining? There's nothing wrong with people feeling vocal.

I don't think anyone is really complaining...this is "Site Feedback" and everyone' just trying to give feedback. o__o;; That's the whole point of the forum, but part of the forum is also to hear if people disagree.
One person might think one thing, and another might think something else, but if only the one person says anything, only their opinion will be taken into account.
