 Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 3:07 pm Post subject: Remove the Post Count for Thread Games & Quizzes |
 |
|
With a new month just starting and the recent talk about removing the post count for thread games I thought this would help us all finally find out the popularity of this idea.
THIS POLL WILL RUN FOR 5 DAYS ONLY.
EDIT:
108 views so far and ONLY 11 VOTES. If you look at this thread and don't vote you can't complain you didn't get your say on this matter.

| I voted No, because these thread games & quizzes should be for the fun of it and not to obtain money. |

The post count should be removed from the thread games. Too many people abuse it just to get the post count for the prizes. If the post count can't be removed from the game threads then maybe they should be locked if prizes are going to be given away for post count.

I don't think that they should be locked because they are fun to do, but due to the abuse of the games, they do need to be deactivated for credit when it comes to giving away money and prizes |

KTWORLD,
You misread her message:

Sorry ICBM but I did not....I don't think they should be locked regardless of if they receive post credit or not. Although I don't agree with getting credit for spamming it, I would rather have them being misused than not have them at all because often they can be quite comical.
BTW, what exactly constitutes a quiz, compared to just a question? Are threads like Which baseball team is going to win the World Series considered a quiz or just a question? |

You voted no yet five minutes after this message you post in Thread Games and Quizzes? Anyone else find this ironic?  |

The best way to describe it:
Definition of "quiz":
examine someone's knowledge of something EXAMPLE: "The teacher tests us every week"; "We got quizzed on French irregular verbs"
Definition of "question"
challenge the accuracy, probity, or propriety of EXAMPLE: "Which baseball team is going to win the World Series"

| I voted no only because there isn't really any substance threads in the games section, they usually don't mean anything or have a purpose. I'd be in favor of saying "yes" if only some people started some fun, interesting games, instead of a 1-5 word answer post. I'd be in favor of keeping things like riddles and what-nots lol. |

ArcadeBoss has now made appropriate modifications to the top posters and boss pages to exclude Thread Games from calculations of monthly posts. Thread Games posts will still count for profile credits, but not towards the cash prizes.
