Drilixer, do you make a habit of going into the forums every 10 minutes and replying to every single post? Those who don\'t know what I\'m talking baout, look down the right hand side of the forum - almost every single post was most recently replied to by drilixer.
-
actually *cracking knuckles* I just check my computer for these forums every other day or so - and you people talk alot in my absence - so i go down the list of new threads (or new posts) and see what I think -> you have to realize that I\'m very oppionated and that this is an excuse not to do my summer homework :)
-
First of all...who cares. Why should you care how often he posts? He\'s staying active in PS\'s community. Though most of his posts may be completely pointless, they\'re not hurting anyone. All you\'ve done is waste my time by making me reply to this....
-
I\'ve noticed Drilixar\'s volume of posts also, but I haven\'t yet crossed over into thinking he is in the spam/abuse category because he is new and enthusiastic and I\'m sure he\'ll calm down soon. :-)
I would like people generally to try to add value in their posts. Posts should be at least one full sentence and express some thought other than agreement.
Example good short posts:
(see many of my own posts. ;-)
Example bad short posts (one per line):
;)
haha Funny!
I agree with !
Hi and welcome!
Oh I never thought of it that way.
One Word: PKing.
Thanks everyone. The forums are pretty fun and let\'s keep them that way. :-)

while were bitchin then what about all this double/treble posting business, dont people know about edit. Even our very own venge is guilty of this.

Sheezzz Prophet, not only are you unsure of your manhood (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=4660&boardid=19&styleid=3&sid=b3891ec86b4e92cf79e455797d6d6f07) (see his reply here for a good laugh) but now your character bashing Drilixer too! Get a life X(
By your criteria I must be \"spamming\" *throws up over his shoulder* at least as much if not worse than Drilixer. Mainly because most of his post are in reply to mine or vice-versa.
Drilix I liked you before but now I\'m starting to love you man! (Luckily my character, Illyria, is female so you never know....) :P High trees catch the winds as they say.
Thanks for your support Venge. Yes we are new, and enthusiastic and we spend a lot of time on different forums enjoying ourselves. We probably both have verbal/typing diarrhoea :D

I do not think there should be a thread about how one person replies to a bunch of posts. Actually, the more people the post the better, which shows the growth of the community. Though, I don\'t mean to discredit you, lost prophet, he really isn\'t spamming. He just comes in, replies to a lot of stuff, then goes off.
-
Nice sensible and cool-headed reply Shinji, a quality I admire and lack :]
Well prophet shall we kiss and make-up and then burry this thread so as not to make Drilixer even more known and (in)famous? (I\'m getting jealous of all his free attention)
Btw Shinji concerning your problem with guilds look at the thread again there is some info posted there for you.
-
as for how much posts he\'s made I couldn\'t care as long as it isn\'t spamming or just trying to get his post count up in fact to stop people trying to get there post count up they should remove the post counter so people get respected by the quality input and not there post count
-
that\'s ridiculous - if you can come up with a good way for a computer to judge quality (besides post length) then you can make a suggestion
-
User ratings. Like rating a thread, only people would rate users too.
User who posts alot of rubbish: people vote badly for him.
User who posts alot of useful stuff: loads of people vote highly for him.
User who hardly posts at all but when he does it\'s alot of rubbish: nobody votes.
You get the idea. :)
-
Ok ok sorry i was just wondering.
-
I vote in favor of moogie, and her idea. (However, it may be difficult to implement)
Edit: probably, but on our forum we have cooler titles, so there was more spam, (at one time) but no one spams anymore |with the exception of the attacker| \\/
-
I think one of the reasons people post so often is because they feel that if they get their post count up then they will regarded higher than most. Which just isn\'t true. Because you can reply to every post does not mean you are any better than someone who only posts every now and then but posts relevant things.
-
that\'s ridiculous - if you can come up with a good way for a computer to judge quality (besides post length) then you can make a suggestion
Drilixer I didn\'t mean get a computer to rate you i mean people actually reading your post respect you and like you for your input not your post count like in a real conversation
Heres a good example Kada didn\'t get the respect she now has by how large her post count was, She gave quality input and even helped with the game itself and as a result people liked her
So what I\'m trying to say here is don\'t get a computer to rate you don\'t get people to vote for you ( this would lead to people voting for themselves which wouldn\'t be good) to get the respect you want you get it from people reading your posts and liking the quality of your input

Mogura\'s idea is alot like the Karma system used on http://www.Slashdot.org. (im looking for a link to a page that descibes the whole system, bare with me)
anyway, on this site we probally would only rate users, and people could chose not to see the posts of users that have negative Karma. problem with that is that its like banning users, because they would have no way to get better karma. perhaps a simpler way would just be to vote on an individual post basis, and if enough people voted that the post sucked, it would be automaticaly removed, and the author would lose the points he had gotten from it.
-
first of all - these ideas however *erhemm* sensible *choke* they may be... should be posted in the forum ideas forum or whatever it\'s called (dont fame me because i dont remember the name either!) and secondly it should be noted that both the current system and the players voting on players system have faults... First of all the obvious one is that the current system 9in your opinion) promotes spaming... ok fine... but what about the players voting on players system... first of all I wouldnt trust the debates in such a forum since anyone who disagrees with you can simply rate you poorly! oh grea so now we have a system that does not promote freedom of speech - and furthermore to become popular in such a system people need to know your name and for that to happen quantity is much more important than quality - people will not vote on someone they have not heard of! And then there are many other problems such as voting spamming and creating voter accounts! Now back to the topic - Venge has already stated where he stands on my spamming and I choose to use the phrase \"I consider 398 posts in a week a compliment\" (since i think there was one bad comment or two but ey why woul i post that in my defence :P )
Now Venge could you please close this thread since it is completely in the wrong forum anyways (and is simply a nice excuse for me to respond and in doing so up my number of posts and completely laugh in the face of this thread )
