I don't see how giving people the opportunity to spam our forums with useless junk in order to receive a "point", would be worth it. We'd have to be constantly deleting idiotic posts. I also don't see how not going for the whole point system, really says we're choosing to not engage with people or our members. We are doing well as a community. We're only in this dry area, because more important things have come up for people.



If people got levels/EXP for posting, that doesn't seem like it would work as good as you think it would. People would just easily abuse that, whether the reward would be automatically or manually given to the player. Plus, why not level up the way it was intended too, by playing the game? If people love the server and it's occupiers, then they will come onto the forum, as they have done, and still do. o_O If you reward people with levels/EXP for posting, they will just register, do this here and there, then leave.

I never said the posts did bore you. But do you know other mods or admins that couldn't be bothered with this trivial crap such as flaming and ranting or ban appeals to players who obviously did wrong because they have better things to do? Just a question. You're right, you would have to be deleting posts OR move it to a spam section like y'all use to have where the post held no weight and was deleted after a certain time frame. But that's what keep people active. Stupidity drives the stupid. Intelligence drives the intellectuals. We need to find a common ground that takes the best of both parties and leaves out the douchieness. We may have jack wagons once in a while but that is to be expected. I would rather be in a community with assholes than not a community at all.

The thing with the WCS is the fact that, like I have previously stated, some people aren't very inclined to educate themselves in the art of gaming so they may not progress as well or as quickly as others. However, not all of these players are challenged in every aspect. They may be writes, artists, musicians, etc. Giving them a chance to make threads with a heading such as {For WCS Exp} and provide legitimate and interest things to add to my agenda to enjoy deserve a chance to earn some extra exp that they could not otherwise achieve in game due to the inability to play. I apologize if I offend anyone here in saying the only person I believe to be my rival in this community that I have played with thus far is platform. That does not include the outrageous encounters I have with the godlike, probably hacking, Bison. lol jp, but no joke he is wicked. I'm sorry I don't like destroying noobs but it has to be done. At least with this they have a chance to get high in the ranks and have a fighting force.

You could always cap the exp possible to earn overall. And have someone dedicated to weeding out the bad threads and trashing them. That's the thing. The owners are kind enough to actively engage the player base in the community and allow us to earn admin. The least we could do from time to time is assist on the forums or in game with a nooby question or ridding the server of a spammer by ban or gag.

EDIT: But we are getting way off topic. This is only one of the suggestions. They haven't enforced it or reactivated it and I am okay with that. It shows they are human. They like some things but not all. Loving the connection guys.
