No Thanks RP counted posts

Suggested...

I worked at forums where posts count in a rpg section. It never works. Staff close and delete threads for spam, members get pissed off, the staff have to make it so posts don't count so they don't have to lose any more threads...

It avoids a lot of conflict.

The Roleplaying Board

With posts not counting in the RP board, it's a bit tricky.
See, I love posting in RPs, but it means I'm stuck with an annoyingly low post count. Some RPs tend to go off on a tangent, yes, but I don't have much expertise with KH1 and barely any with KH2. The only game I've beaten is CoM/CoM:Re/Rv. Is it possible to perhaps have stricter RP-thread rules and make the posts count?

 

No, because regardless, it is basically a second spamzone with a purpose (almost oxymoron). Anything KH related can be talked about in the KH section other wise you are clarifying things that shouldn't count for posts. Plus, people would just sit in the RP section all day...and become premmy in like a week and that is not what it is about.

 

Ah ha, having stricter rules wouldn't help, unless there was a rule saying '3 posts per day' or something. The reason why posts don't count is because people post like 10-30 posts, maybe more, a day. So thats why posts don't count, because people who post In the Spamzone and RPG Arena would have posts over 1000 just In the first 3 weeks or so.

I completely disagree with this Idea, sorry.

 

I have my number of post because I visit the creativity corner. It is like the RPGs but you don't have to do work.

 

It's actually not that hard to have a higher post count with literally no knowledge of the KH series. There are many other sections where posts count that have absolutely nothing to do with Kindgom Hearts, like: Music, Books, Intelligent Discusion, Introduce Yourself, Original Work, Anything Else, ect. See you have a wide variety to pick where you would like to post.

In all honesty, I think that would be a horrible idea... the RP Section can be just as worse as the Spam Zone. So I'm going with a big thumbs done, sorry kid.

:/

 

Tch, As Spitty said the place is regardless a second spam zone, if you want more posts go to other sections than the crappy RP board.

 

Basically what JellyBeing said...as much as I love RPing, I have to agree with her.

 

Yikes, that was profound. Can't we just say no and leave it at that? *laughs nervously*

 

Nope, when a bad suggestion is made, we like to make sure you know fully why it's bad.

 

Err...Well thats very professional.

 

I'd have to say no to this idea. Going through the RPs I can see most of the posts are one-liners and many are not really even complete sentences. Some people also post 10+ one-liners a day and I don't think that's really quality and I see more effort done in the Spam Zone. If people wrote out things as seriously as they do in the Creativity Corner, I could see it but in reality, it just isn't that way for the majority of people who do the rpgs. Try posting around to other areas and I'm sure your post count will improve in no time.

 

Guys we don't wasnt to scare him/her away...

Anyway I'm saying no to this suggestion.
1.Many members disagreed
2.RPG section is simply another spamzone
3.It would be a way to cheao way to earn posts
4.Many newbies come to the RPG section and is fully knowledged with rules etc yet.
5.All the good reasons stated by other members above

Case is

Make posts count in the extended Role-Play area

In the KH2 forum, I can add to my post count by saying "lol i tink riku iz better than sora" and I walk away merry, one thousandth closer to premium.

In the Extended RP section, there is a minimum of ten lines, spelling and grammar is a necessity and thought is needed.

However, half a fanfic later, I still have nothing to show for it.

If I were to post a fanfic in the creativity corner, I get post count, so Post Count is not only dished out if it is game related.

So why not make RP extended count for posts? Past standards show it is the correct thing to do.

(I considered suggesting all of the RP area, but I think I will tackle the smaller fences first)

 

I Say no... I am a role player and i know that others try hard at those, but then soon, there will be role players going into the Extended section and then they'll start posting smaller and those with bad grammar will keep posting as it is.. And plus, they'll only use the posts to get their post counts up, and they'll probably quit once the requirements are set. I'm not saying everyone will do that, but it's possible.

 

Meh. There is still the ten line min. I doubt random people prefer role playing with members who complain about their grammar and mods who delete/warn them about their posts, opposed to posting in Riku V.S. Sora topics.

 

I say no. I will get whored by little "txt tlk" trolls who want to be hot pink ******s. Also, posts count in sections that are beneficial, not purely for fun. If you want to get your posts up, go post some where that it counts. Simple as that.

 

quoted for the truth

 

well Repliku came out with a "little note" 2 or 3 weeks ago. It basically condems all that stuff that people do like "I LIEK RIKUZ DA BEST." And besides, I like the way the post count is now. The most fun places on the site shouldnt have posts that count because it becomes too open for whorism...XD

Imagine the spamzone with post count. I checked, I'd have about 2000+ posts by now...

 

Explain how the Creativity corner or graphics section is different from RP extended.

When you have completed that task, explain how an in- depth analysis of a character's emotions in a post-game scenario is less beneficial or productive than a one line txt-tlk "I lik roxas becuz hes kool."

It cannot be post whored, as all the usual n00bs are not going to be posting ten lines long. Anything that is posted less than ten lines long is deleted, due Catch the Rain's vigilant modship of the forum.

If we are accepting that all the post whores are following Repliku's rules, then we are obliged to accept that they will also follow CtR's rules.

I never suggested the spamzone, that would be insane. If you haven't visited the Extended RP forum, do so and see the types of posts there are.
