RE: why do we have to post replys to gain levels
Interesting point.
I really think the staff should remove the ranks aka levels on these forums. It DOES promote spamming and everyone seems to judge people by the levels and not by their post quality or their knowledge or attitude. Levels are nothing.
I mean, no one will spam just to get their level up if they don't exist? They'd hopefully learn to provide quality posts and forget about their ranks or post counts. I mean, having a rank as newbie, just puts you down. People treat you like crap because you are new and people don't bother to respect you until you become a rank other than newbie, which is ridiculous to be honest.
If the ranks were removed from these forums, but the stats still remain just for the sake of rewards, then I think it will reduce the spam, as no one will have something pushing them to spam, just to raise their level to be as "good" as others, even though some/the majority of them are either spammers, or like to post.
Removing the ranks will probably be protested by the staff and the members, but I think it is a move in the right direction to make this forum the most helpful forum around. As users will post the right answers instead of posting 4 word replies to a post just to get their level up. I mean, saying thanks and things like that is acceptable but not if it is done excessively.
Well..thats my opinion, I think we should have a vote, and then trial it, see what happens. If it benefits the forums, it stays removed..but if it doesn't then bring them back? what do you say?
