Oh No You Don't!!!!

[Less]

O.k. I'm posting it here so that it doesn't count towards my count for anything.

I'm all for accyweb being kept alive and am completely against folk just coming on and using the site for games.
(Wait for it, here it comes, it's either a 'but' or a 'however').

Well,(FOOLED YOU), I don't think it's right, if we must be protected from misuse, could we not at least help each other out? Instead of the 'karma' system couldn't we have a system of credits?

For example.
Someone, puts up a good post and they are awarded 'post credits' that would mean that if they have collected enough, on the day's they don't feel like posting anything they can use their smart-arse replies that someone else credited them for?
This would perhaps make folk, think about what they post and try a little harder, rather than just post any old carp just to get their posts up.

AND if post credits can be removed, perhaps folk like, erm, ME????
would be more careful about upsetting idiots?

would that be kinda like rating a thread then Less?

Well, that's all karma is really but, if we could have an advantage by posting well?

Excuse me while I go back to la,la land there are to many that will just be negative!

[entwisi]

think its a good idea less, a bit like ackers used to be

[Less]

By the way, I also think, (waits for screams of lynch him), that once a year perhaps on accywebs birthday, (March I think), every bodies karma and power points should revert to zero, why? because I for one have 3862 points that's pretty good about 1 point per post, but I've been here since well, around the beginning, what chance has someone new got to catch up unless every now and then we clear the score board?

Sorry dont agree.
If Ive read right Less then there will be a lot of people that would never get no where near the arcade. I can and often have gone weeks / months without karma / points whatever you want to call em. Dosent mean I post rubbish . (well sometimes I do ) I just feel I contribute when I feel I have something to say.
So if I run out of points / karma , and there is nothing I want to contribute to i would nt get into the arcade. Even If I did contribute it dosent really mean I will get rewarded with points.
Maybe Ive read it wrong will try and read again just incase, but just my little input

Good idea, I'd say you'll get a varied opinion about this..to someone who only posts nicey,nambi,pamby,lovey dovey,creepy crawly,stuff, then they might get upset if you take away the karma they have built up.

I'm trying to say that, rather than force people to post almost anything just to get into the arcade, if instead of karma, a person that posts something worth reading can be given a credit that they can use on a day they haven't anything to say and still be able to get into the arcade.

O.K. you haven't brought yourself to notice and been given much karma up to now, but if, you had a choice of a credit, that you could use, or a karma point that is as useful as a chocolate fire guard, which would you work towards?

I'm not saying your comments always have to be agreeing, just good, then when you have a quiet day and all you want to do is 'chill', into the arcade you go and sod everyone else, you've earned it. Unlike at the moment when we are all struggling just to make 5 posts, any 5 posts will do just grab something off the internet, no thought, no use to the site but your into the arcade!

[grego]

I'm completely lost, does karma now affect the ability to use the arcade or is it still entry after so many posts?

Like your camouflage thread ??

So If I am reading right, we can still have the 5 a day thingy, but these credits would ensure you can get in without having to do that if ya so wished!! Yep, I can see how that could work.

Why not put this thread into suggestions where it should be?
Idiots, or so you call them will respond I'm sure.
