I've left, but I still visit sometimes!
It's just one week of VIP, not one month so not many trouble with it, first of all.
Second, everyone who actually got interested in the Christmas forum got max like what 50 posts? Not such a big deal..
There would be no difference if it was a months VIP, then you would have unlimited VIP and have some extra incase you decided not to get 100/week But you can still get unlimited VIP now. It depends how many people I do it I suspect
Yes, anyone can have unlimited VIP, but you need to be an active part of the community. Be best member, best staff, win competitions.. it's not gonna fall from the sky.. But I do agree that the forum will start being spammed..
You can get 'unlimited VIP' earlier but either skill/luck came into it from competitions or being chosen to get an award, but now you can get unlimited VIP via your own doing and get it every week without fail. That's the significant difference. We'll have to see if it actually changes anything though in a few weeks time.
This. I did in my original suggestion say that VIP probably wasn't necessary, however unlike previous *competitions* it's an ongoing thing so people will be less inclined to suddenly start spamming. It's worth a try and can be changed if necessary.
Chippiewill.
Yeah, I don't think that earning VIP should come from spamming.. maybe some rep if you really want to give top posters something, but VIP should be earned.You can get 'unlimited VIP' earlier but either skill/luck came into it from competitions or being chosen to get an award, but now you can get unlimited VIP via your own doing and get it every week without fail.

Strange mix of updates, allowing easier spam posts and then rewarding people for it basically telling people to post "Adele - I'm A Whale" over and over and over and over for a prize
