    To samsta I have been fairly positive, I would appreciate it if anyone is looking for an argument to leave this thread. Please?

    Anyway forums have always had better features for more posts because it is a sort of incentive to post. If we become too generous on features then vip in world cup and xmas terms would be a waste of time surely? Just my opinion

    Anyway please don't fight guys, this is feedback not ask to get banned

    I agree. If you go on some other big forums, you need certain number of posts to get some features. Like you said, its an incentive to post more, and will make the forum more active. Overall its beneficial for the forum. Like I said earlier, 1,000 posts only takes a few months to get.

    Exactly saurav. Virtually every forum has a user rank system, and those systems don't invole equal rights for all. .

    Also in jakes case I think 1,000 posts is more like 10 days haha

    If no one is using the feature in the first place whats the point in limiting who can use it by introducing a 1000+ post count criteria??? :S surely you want to give more people access to this feature in order to possibly make it more popular??

    I think the changes are fine, but obviously you are going to get some who wish to pick at anything. Trial these changes and see how things turn out, but give it a chance...

    I agree with Josh, people like the chance to criticise. Lets deal with what we know, as users. The groups aren't widely used, Tom has pointed this out. By making these changes, maybe more people will use them, maybe people won't. Who cares? It's like the Government giving people free coal when they only use their coal fires twice a year. Not really beneficial but no harm is done (in this case it'd be govt. losing money but obv ya get me).

    The changes are fine. I would go further. Management haven't. I can see why. This should please new members, they can now do more as well as older members who still have special benefits. If the rep per star thing happens then that'd be fabulous too as it benefits everyone. I think the changes are good and we should all thank lorren for initiating these changes with her original feedback thread

    What you are saying here is correct Jake, in all fairness we were quite disappointed when groups didn't really kick off too well and we realised the mistake immediately was that we made it too restrictive. I think as a member is only permitted to make 5 groups in their whole time as a member, it's a good to let them start this as a new member, however if groups are successful following this it would be an idea to increase the amounts people can make as they go up the ranks.

    The aim when creating this new system was to give everybody more - which is what we have done, every single rank has now got more privilidges than before. I noticed a couple of people said that before 10,000posts + got to see who repped them, we decided to remove this and replace it with Invisible Mode which they didn't have before simply to save one of the "better" privelidges for VIP - as that was a problem we found here, there are only so many privelidges that we can use but everybody here has had at least one privelidge increased, infact all groups have seen an increase to avatar sizes (apart from Habbox God) as the 10k+ members could only have 140x140 before.

    The rep-per-star thing is proving more difficult than we thought, James was working on it last night and it's quite complex however it's looking promising and could be coming in the next few weeks.

    I also whole heartedly agree that Lorren's effort in feedback was tremendous and she should be applauded for planting the seeds which have grown into these changes - with more possibly to come.

    The numbers I suggested didn't work out for the rep-per-star?

    We haven't introduced rep-for-star yet as we're unsure it can work technically

    Ah, okay, but judging by the posts per rank it looks like my numbers won't help anyway because I suggested different numbers for posts. Let me know if I can help =)

    I'd imagine that reps for a certain numbers of posts would have to be done manually, I'm not a technical expert by any stretch but I haven't seen any system automatically give rep for anything before. If that's the case, I can see it being a lot of work for not much gain - it'd be nice to have as a little extra reward, but little really is the key word there as giving too large an amount would be deemed unfairly in favour of spammers and so it doesn't seem like something that particularly needs doing if it can't be automated. Doing it manually would also require a full record of who's been given what reward for what achievement too in order to not have it abused, which would be even more work.
