Why is there separate posting comps?

[scottish]

lol. "(s)he" understands it very well. I just think that the comparison of the two is incorrect of the current situation.

Then you'd be wrong.

[Phil]

just like how staff won't be putting in as much effort in competing for the 'main' competition?

Whether that may be the case or not, I don't do the main competition for the staff, I do it for the community. Just so you see they aren't getting a small reward for the "same efforts, I'll post last weeks staff posts here.

General Management and Department Managers don't get rewarded so don't include those. All of the top posters of each department hit more then 1/4 of the limit (100) the community are asked to hit. For doing this, they get 1/5 of the amount of Tokens (that's if the winner of the community opted for the Token reward) or 1/20 (if the winner of the community opted for VIP).

It's not like they are doing 5-10 posts and getting rewarded for it. In times like that where it has been low, I haven't even given them a prize because it's so low.

jump off your high horse.

interesting to see the only people backing the staff rewards are.. staff. big surprise there.

Not really backing it up, more less just trying to see your comparison is invalid.

So you're agreeing with us, the staff are getting easier rewards (especially in some depts which have like 3 members) and no normal member has reached 100 in a long time.

And I never said I was disagreeing at all. I just am pointing out things.. just like everyone one else is.

So people with as little as 27/28 post count are being rewarded, yet if we get 99 we wouldn't be..

Yes. One requirement is post more than anyone in your department. One requirement is hit 100 posts.

Is there REALLYYYYY a massive issue if staff get a little bit of something for their efforts. Staff that work hard at this site and don't get anything in return, staff that have to fund their own prizes etc.

Well yeah because one is easy to obtain the other isn't. If staff are getting something for their efforts regardless of the overall (if they got over 100 they'd get the 'normal' peoples prize too) then so should normal members.

With regards to how much work etc they put in they get rewarded via Staff of the Month or whatever other schemes run by department managers/AGMs, no need for a forum one too.

50 tokens is such a small prize that it's hardly noticed anyway. The competition is more to reach number one of your department, friendly competition. It's only in place to encourage staff members to post outside of staff forums anyway.

Then extend that reward to normal users to encourage them to post full stop.

I've made the rewards bigger for encouragement.

Oh Jesus you're making it out as if its such an awful thing, people choose their roles, its voluntary. Yes I agree they give away furni which I hope people are grateful for but competitions for certain departments aren't mandatory and if they are, they knew that before signing up. A bit of furni here and there is nothing for the endless amount of fun / interactions you have with other staff members. That's speaking from experience, no matter how many competitions I did in the past, my enjoyment at certain departments out weighed that majorly. I understand 50 tokens over something that you may see as so little but it's always the same, its what actually harms this website at times.

Given 50 tokens to staff and not others who may post more / help with activity and for what? It just makes it out to be a 'click'. Another example of a 'click' is staff spam threads (dunno if they still exist or what), but they gave/give staff more reason to stay in their shell. It'd be nice to see some new faces in actual spam.
