Why the heck do you get two points for carrying on a conversation with someone that contributes NOTHING to the site?


You wanna cut down on spam points, take those away.


The point of armor points is to reward people for contributing to the site, well what does rewarding them for having a conversation with their friend for 2 points a message do?

I guess Raptor does have a point, but I'm not in the top ten because I talk to people 24/7. Alot of it is from merits, so I wouldn't say the WHOLE top ten. nick_coolhaha is also one of those guys who gets alot of points from merits.

Actually, it doesn't have to be long, just enough to get attention which usually isn't too hard since most people post short comments like 'good game' or 'it suks', any sentence or two could stand out in that crowd. thorough comments could be explained better too, meaning suggestions that would help the creator make a better game, if you can't think of any, explain what you did like.

this should be new listing for the changes:
Forum post:2AP
Profile Comment: 1AP
Game Comment: 3AP
the changes should start on a certain date and you should mention that your armor points will remain the same.

Madgamer, the profile and game comments contain the worst spam.

There is no reason in the world why profile comments should get you any points. The game comments should be reduced to 1 AP because if you leave a good comment that 1 AP will turn into 25 AP. There are over 650 games. So that's a possible 17,000 APs for writing a review that will take you no more than 10 minutes.

I think it should be.

posting in profiles = 0

commenting on a game = 2

commenting on forums = 2

and i agree with Asherlee, you should be able to get a merit from forums. Because u can flag forum comments, but u cant give a thumbs up to good ones..

The points get you ranks. Those ranks are the serf, squire etc. After a certain amount of points, you will rank up.
