Perhaps if you receive a mod edit on one of your posts and you're in the posting challenge group, you lose -2 posts as a consequence?
Anyway it's good that it's an individual reward system this time!

Would it be easy for them to implement that system though?
And then it might be tricky for people to keep track of how many posts they've actually done?

There are a lot of things that are personally uncomfortable to show, especially me
without makeup and completely bloated or crying. But I've realized that it's time for me to
show my audience that you don't have to be perfect to achieve your dreams.
Because nobody relates to being perfect.

i am gonna be honest, i am getting a bit bored of seeing "photo of my cat" photo of my dog" "photo of my neighbours dead horse" threads.
think it's a really good idea, i'm definately posting like mad aha
Its much better with possible prizes for everyone rather than just the top 3 getting prizes.
Lets see if this gets people posting after its ended though- obviously this has got people posting in the short term; but whether or not it carries on into the long term is another matter.
Definitely a good competition though, well done
Yeah agreed. And to be honest, this competition although creating posts, isn't really creating much more discussion for me- as if people are just sorta posting for the reward and not to make a discussion.

this morning i felt like there were a few more conversations being created but i just came back to the forum to find very dead end threads (simple questions that don't promote much conversation i.e: how do you do this/that) and now i would very much agree with @Chippiewill and his earlier points.Its much better with possible prizes for everyone rather than just the top 3 getting prizes.

edit: bloody tagging fail.
Main problem for me are the 'What are you listening to' type of threads. I know this argument has been had tonnes of times, and I'm not saying you should remove these threads, but look at them- they're booming (even more than usual...) but how much discussion is actually going on there? None.this morning i felt like there were a few more conversations being created but i just came back to the forum to find very dead end threads (simple questions that don't promote much conversation i.e: how do you do this/that) and now i would very much agree with @Chippiewill and his earlier points.

People just seem to post in there as its an easy way to get your postcount up. They don't care what others have listened to, and I bet most don't even look at the posts in there; its just a quick "Oh I haven't posted what I'm listening to for 5 minutes" and I'm guessing its literally just a 10 second job- open thread, post, leave thread. There's no discussion at all.

yeah, we've had a couple more opened recently that haven't been moved to forum games (which is fine, i think some of them are okay) but i do worry that they may be abused during the next 3 days. threads such as things you'd like to say someone but can't/what you last purchased/how're you feeling.Main problem for me are the 'What are you listening to' type of threads.
