Posting Competitions

Can I have like 50 posts counted per post I make because when I post in a thread I actually reply to people in the thread and expect discussion to come of it rather than just answer a title question and then never look at the thread again

Should be promoting active discussion, not just surveys

In that case I want 50 too.

I dislike people who constantly reply with posts that you can't then reply to, but you can't really force people to put in 15/20 words in every post.

I've never really been a fan of them either because long-term, I don't think it adds much. The majority of people in the competition now will go back to their inactive posting once it's ended. That being said, it does at least get people to interact more with the wider community rather than the forums they normally frequent which is a good thing.

It doesn't always take a lot of words to make discussion keep going though, and conversely I can use 30 words to tell someone that I like cats without it being of any use at all

There's also been a good bit of bumping old threads (although mostly not old enough for it to be infractible) that had no direction to start with anyway or have already been answered long ago

I don't see how you can encourage posting for the sake of posting, that's the definition of spam. You say your happy with the quality of posts from the people at the top of the leader board, but if i single out posts made by the top two, and you can tell me if they in anyway add to the thread.

I think if you continue this, it needs to be more hotly moderated, and posts like this shouldn't be allowed and should lead to disqualification.

My post didn't contribute to the thread as much but there is nothing wrong with it it's not against the forum rules and if there weren't a competition would they be anything wrong with it?

if there wasn't a comp, the post wouldnt be there :L

Yes it might not be there but if it was there would you have something against the post?

He's admitted that but he's also said after the competition it's likely he will post elsewhere than where he rarely posted before - this is good. Obviously they won't post as much as they post in the competition but if it makes a few users post more than they did before - it's a good result.

Perfectly acceptable, right? I am after all responding to the questions and answering truthfully on topic
