Forums → Support Forum → Points, points, points

I personally think that these are two issues that still should be addressed. Their still is a lot of spam on profiles and also there is currently no incentive for flagging or upvoting comments, so no one really does that.

Things are meant to die, so new threads can come and take their place. Though double threads get locked. I don't know, it's confusing. But the way I see it, if it's a double, it should be locked and the old thread should be bumped. In any other case, the old thread is usually settled and has no need to be revived.

I think you shouldn't get points for writing on your own wall. Sometimes it is helpful to write on other peoples, so it makes sense that there would be a possibility for points there. Many people do take advantage of it though.

And maybe 2 for forum posts.

i think the thred shouldnt just be locked :P and i agree with the second idea... if john is still wanting to add any of that

I agree with your second one.

How should this be locked? It was a good subject and needed to be answered.

It was from the very beginning of the site... when they had just created the system... obviously they've figured out what to do by now...

None of them were implemented so we can still consider them, right?

Most of the things talked about here have been blatantly suggested by me many times. Love it. Anyways. Merit(not merits, using the actual word) should be given to people who focus on actually posting as opposed to just spamming comments. Which is why I always suggest smart ways of implementing either minimum of words for posts/comments or minimal amount of characters in the comment, or a bunch of ideas regarding flagging and actually punishing idiots who abuse comments or flagging.

I just think there should be some sort of reward for people who keep a positive post:comment ratio, I am not saying this cause I want a reward, I am saying this cause it makes sense to reward people actually trying to be part of the community.

Do you think you should get extra points for flagging a comment that was deleted, or comments that were upvoted then get a merit? A possibly a penalty if you flag something that blatently shouldn't be flagged?

it really is a good topic and seems to be quite the hot spot so it should stay and mabey even be added to the site (i hope) i love the idea and it should be added

i like the second one, but you should receive a warning the first time, the second time a ban for 24 hours from logging in, the third, for 3 days, etc

the first one would be hard to find out, because there are probobly people out there who make an account just to spam
