I know this has been suggested about 24928 times before. I also know they probably won't change the AP system. But just look at it.
Im talkign baout comments and the forums
Comments-2 AP Forum Posts-1 AP
Which doesn't make sense!For comments you can almost get points for everywhere. People are spamming and stuff sometimes the mods don't even know its there because they can't find it. They can easily find spam in the froums and lock/delete it. Poepel talk to other people a lot and it counts as comments. Talk to about 10 people at a time thats about 20 AP every 9 minutes (i just did it in my head). Its quite easy to start a conversation with some body.
So my main idea is switch the AP for forum posts to comments so its
Comments-1 Forum Posts-2
I am not sayign this because I have 2400 Forum posts
Here what I think.
The Pro of this Idea: Spam could be caught more easily. Poeple will not complaing that the everyone in the top 10 has tons of comments and some have like 500 forum posts. More merits. The ghost profile spam thing would be less effective. More people visit the community to get the help they need.
The Con of this idea: People with a lot of posts would have a lot more AP. More spam could come up.
Now that I looked at the con part Maybe we could just have it
But the forums get so many good posts that, it would end up mods would have to meet every day for a hundred different posts that were suggested as good. Also you'd have to implement a vote up system for the forums. Or if it was mod's job to look, they'd have to look at every post ever. Which would be troublesome also.
Okay then, every single way to change AP is too difficult and pointless. We change it and then there are complaints later. So, we should just leave it the way it is, forever.
Lol Total. That's not what I am saying, implementing a new vote up system is the only way to do it properly but that's not something that will happen soon.
Ok, I am going to lock this because it just seems to be getting people upset and starting conflict over points. The fact is, we will not be changing points right now. This is a suggestion that has been brought up before, and we have discussed the option. However, we decided not to make any changes, and will not change point values until further notice. But just know that this has been taken into consideration before. But we did decide against it.
