If the title is confusing, pretty much I'm asking this: If you were a [wood/platinum/gold] [serf/squire/knight/lord/duke/prince/king], how much forum posts should you have? I've seen some users who are knights with 1200+ posts. Then, I see princes with <200 posts. So. . . How much forum posts do you think is reasonable for each rank?
Note: If you're asking, "Does it really matter?" No, it may not. But the reason why I'm asking this is because out of the 'games rated', 'comments', etc. the forum posts one is probably the most useful.
Patrick2011 said this: It is OK to define AP farming
okay, I get it
Kasic said this: wow...so it is okay to farm ap... No. Just quickly rating games and then leaving a stupid comment is not okay, and you will have those points you earned removed.
so which one is it? And I still messed up on the rank stuff, fail:P
off topic but it's silver according to the About page.
It's still a mystery why the about page contradicts the badges in the forums. Hover your cursor over any iron badge and it will tell you that iron is correct.
Think of it this way: in terms of value, silver is one step below gold, and wood is about 50 steps below gold. Why go up 49 steps and then just 1 step? That doesn't make sense. Iron is fairly balanced in the middle between wood and gold.
It shouldn't go by rank, it should go by percent. The reccommended percent can vary anywhere bettween 1% and 50% dependant on the user.
There is no recommended percent. It is simply, as others have said, a gauge on how active you are. Users with lots of AP generally are active (unless they are not anymore) and users with less are either new, not very active, or gaining AP.
I have 79% of my AP from forum posts. Is this wrong? No, it's not right either, it's neither. It simply is.
Sigh. This thread has not been good for my brain, I keep making stupid mistakes. I don't even know how I ended up with 79%. 3110/5568 - .558 = 56% of my AP is from forum posts.
Ok, this is my first forum post in a couple of days. I used to only play the games and i don't have that many forum posts anyway... Anyone want to calculate my percentage?
I love the way i was reading page one and it was just on about the posts and spammers and such and then i immedietly click to page 4 and the topic completely changes to however much percentage in posts everyone has got.
I think that 1,000 posts is reasonable for a Gold Lord. I did it from that rank because it is around the middle of all ranks. I have got: Games Rates: 370 Comments: 988 Forum Posts: 345 (Make that 346) Games Submitted: 0 Merits: 3
Well..I was bored and thought I would find out how much forum posts do I have. So I am like 274, okay. Then I just grabbed the caculator, did the math stuff, and only 3.5%. But hey, I have a 0.5 difference than the first page of this thread
