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?

As long as they dont start charging for content I couldnt care less how many points someone has. You will always get people that spam for the points.

My question is: if you guys don't like it when people spam for the points, and you say you don't care about points, aren't you being hypocritical?

My opinion is that if you want AP you must word for them...you can't earn point gratis or simply!

Reviver.

There as been people complaining about spam in the moderator thread around here and so I think this is a good suggestion.

Please continue.

Oh and this has a moderator saying it is a good idea.

This is a better idea then taking away AP all together.

Taking away AP from profile commenting would promote typing out long conversations and using 3rd-party chatrooms for IM'ing. I don't support getting points for commenting/chatting on profiles, as this is kind of silly. I realize that the staff put thought into how the AP system worked, and I respect that. Perhaps this and others are how they "hooked" members into AG? Afterall, getting points for various reasons is how you have fun on this site. Should it be for commenting and pressing a button? Not really :-/

I think that if the staff were to seperate the AP point system a little bit.
Like right now we have the categories, are as followed

Merits.
But I think it would be easier to spot the spammers if we were to have it like this.

Please no going off topic. It makes the world sad.

And now I will proceed to go off topic myself.

I see no reason why necroing is bad. I had a good reason to get all of the AP stuff out of the moderator thread and into here.

I also wondered why is it 2ap for comments, they are much easier to spam then the forums.

i don't think it should, as it encourages interactions between users. while yes, i do realize that it is abused a lot, especially in some ghost accounts, but isn't every other way to get AP abused to a certain amount, like spamming on fporum posts and just clicking the rating icon, regardless whether you've even played the game or think it deserves that rating?

if we had a chat room... but lets not even get into that again.

i don't think there should be a reward for someone saying "hi (:" to another person... thats just not right.

And the remark im making right now is semi-well thought out and is only worth one. but i don't care a great deal for AP anymore

Nah, I don't agree with this. Armor points is like experience. .... You gained that experience by talking to people. You get what I mean?
