Post Count Competition Idea.

[AgnesIO]

Nice for trying to suggest it

However, never ever again lol

Think I am the only one who was in the top four to actually not change how much I post. The top three (who won prizes) spammed like mad and hardly post now. I wouldn't mind if they didn't post the worlds most ridiculous things (within the forum rules)

[Waaaak]

You may of had no idea but it's nice to see your interested.

Yeh, thanks alot man, appreciate it.

Nice of you to suggest this, despite the fact its been done before! (but you didn't know that obviously).

+rep for trying to help

Haha thanks for understanding.

I must admit, the recent posting competition was an absolute nightmare in terms of moderating.

I think it brought a few people into the world of posting on a forum, but obviously they weren't gonna post to the extent they did without an incentive after.

The best way to get people posting is good discussion, aslong as we have a few people posting a few interesting threads everday in most of the forums, there will be more than enough posting going on in my eyes.

I know it sounds cliche but i'd rather see 10 quality posts that make me want to quote them and write back, than 100 posts that just say "Yes" or "No" in more words.


I think this introduction of 'Who Quoted Me' will boost posting as if you see people quoting you, you often go back to that thread and write back. I know i've been getting alot of these Who Quoted Me PMs and i've found myself posting more.

Nice idea, it's just a shame it always results in a ton of spam around the forum

Being a Super Moderator at the time I'm going to disagree and say it wasn't bad to moderate at all. The people who spammed and took it too far were disqualified and that was only 2 people so it clearly wasn't that bad.

I do think it is wayyyy too soon to do another one though but it's a nice idea and good to see you offering feedback!

May have been a bit harsh saying Nightmare, but you must admit, there was alot more spamming about. I noticed that alot of posts were moved out of the forum, so it was alot more effort.

But the two who won/came second did post some complete crap, and were obviously posting for their count.
