Why is there separate posting comps?

4god people getting so antsy about 50 tokens lmao

Phil just say whoever gets the top poster outside of staff can have 50 stupid tokens too then they can stop crying

[Phil]

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. 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.

The only thing that's being made out to be an awful thing in this thread is a bit of staff encouragement.

I don't know about any other department but the mod staff spam thread still does exist and it is absolutely dead and Ibelieve that's also the case in most other departments. How do you propose we could see more people in spam?

Omg thank GOD someone agrees I thought I was losing my mind.

Yeah I literally just said that in the managers chat but I'm seeing how far this CATASTROPHE will actually go

I've made the rewards bigger for encouragement.

You can make the reward 300 months of VIP, it's not going to encourage someone when it's a very high target, and failure to meet that target gets you absolutely nothing.

If you're giving staff it for doing very easy stuff, why not make the rules 100+ posts OR the top person?

principle, could be 5 tokens and I'd still complain, could be 5k tokens and I'd still complain.

Would you like 50 Tokens for being top? They get 50 for being top of their staff usergroup, whoever is top of posting stats gets 50 for being top of that usergroup? All happy then?

They already have other incentives Phil, as Scott pointed out. I'm not being a **** but it's not your job to give incentives.

I think people still avoid spam as they think its still full of nasty people, even the likes of flyingjesus/scott have turned down their **** level. I think if managers actually started posting, chatting about regular things, banter related topics, others within that department would join in. I never really see many managers post in spam, maybe the odd time, which is a shame.

I know it's not my job to give incentives but it is part of my job to encourage posting. Recent feedback said staff need to be encouraged to post because they're not doing it

No, I think it should be 100 top, 90 2nd, 80 3rd, 70 4th 60 5th or something like that. So top 5 will be rewarded rather than 1. And obviously scale the reward as it's a lot harder to compete with what 150 active users than what 4 active staff members

[Phil]

Sure that just defeats the purpose of trying to get 100 posts then

[scottish]

So does giving staff rewards for 28 posts.

Scrap rewards from the staff posts, continue to post/announce them for the sole purpose of showing how well specifics done.

If they want rewards they can join the actual group designated for that purpose and have the same rewards as normal members do.

If it's not encouraging your staff (and normal members) then it's failing and you need to deal with that as it's obviously an issue.

[Phil]

Okay so scrap rewarding the staff and then question why they're not being encouraged to post?

Would anyone else viewing like to pitch in here? I'm sure there's not only two opinions.
