Father Torque Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Hello Mods and non Mods at JK11.net. Since we just recently got the new point system i think it would be great idead to get points for PM's. You may not approve but I think this would be great. You could give like 3 points for a PM. I like this idea because i do alot of PMing and alot of other people do too. So watcha think. If no i will make a thread that will determin the majority"Majority rules:D " So please take this into consideration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt-- Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Sure, we can make it that you pay for PMs. As a matter of fact, I'll implement that later! ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Torque Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 How would this be more spam than posting and threads. Please, ill make a poll and find what the people want. An Matt-Windu i meant to get points for a PM not pay for them. Or in your case that would be a good idea to charge more so people who spam will have to give points to do so:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reb Starblazer Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 While I see where you're going with this, in that you're hoping to encourage people to PM each other instead of spamming up threads by chatting, in theory it's a good idea. However... The point system was introduced to encourage people to post(or at least that's why I think it was...), they want people to start good, interesting discussion threads, as by doing so, you'll get a whole load of points from all the people responding. Spam threads are being closed a lot recently, to prevent abuse, so the point system is working well so far. Also, I can see this being really abused. Two friends just sit down sending PM's to each other, back and forth, saving up so they can buy their custom title/sticky/glow name whatever. It's a nice idea, but you have to take into account the human factor as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Torque Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 A las i have a solution the admins could put a time limit on them lets say 30 mins or 1 hour so it will stop spammage also there will be a certain amount of charecters that have to be included:D So will this pass please :D If it does i will dedicate all my points to whomeever you chose:D If you dont there will be some bashing of heads against some trees j/k:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
