discussion Reading Score

[43xi]

How nice that even trained monkeys can’t read….

When I wasn't paying attention, I earned a higher reading score. When I started actually trying to read for score, I didn't get any.

Yes, you need to read slowly.

Doesn't it take ages to get enough LewdCoins (LC) to be able to unlock Members+? Based on my own progress and reading the relevant threads about earning coins through likes, threads, etc, I feel like just trying to earn the LC will automatically push up your reading and posting score past the required threshold before you get anywhere enough LC to be able to buy members +.

Without strain (I wasn't trying to gain access to the + section, but do I need to spend coins on something?) it took me about 15 days. I repeat, effortlessly.

It's harder if you fast reader, but it works. Kind of fun - found some threads on this forum I wasn't aware exists.

Which threads did you find that were interesting?

From what I saw - reading activity points go up by 3 every time so you need to do "something" 25 times. Just reading works for sure, but it's slow... I read all comments on one game - around 50 pages and it went up by 3. But it's working, just hang around, react to posts, engage with community and you will get there.

Ah, that explains why my score remained so low no matter how many threads I kept just reading. Thanks.

I don't see any problem here. In late May and early June, I disappeared from the Internet for three weeks (moving to another city, connecting to a new provider, plus the usual household chores after moving). I visited this site for the first time after a break on June 11. And I discovered a bunch of incomprehensible innovations. Including this very Reading Score . I had it at around 45 (I have no idea how this number was derived). OK, I continued to do what I used to do - I only read the discussions that interested me, commented on some games, and notified the admins about game updates. By the wayl, the issue of updates is the most painful for this site. Right now, my Reading Score is 886. I didn't make any, absolutely no effort. In general, I spend more time on another website. I do not know what this parameter is, how it is calculated, and to be honest, I do not want to know. In my opinion, it's not worth bothering with this. Read, comment, and sometimes give like to interesting post. But without fanaticism, you should not sit on any website for several hours in a row. There are more interesting things in life.

It’s good to see the system has changed a bit, not sure I got my lewd coins, but hey ho, now just to try and figure out if this increases the reading score, maybe a little info box tool tip would help with confusions

 

[edgebravesteam]

still struggling to get that reading score to rise up.. everything else is pretty good

 

[loveyou199999]

I'm not used to these new features yet either.

 

[braveowl]

Yeah that's....counterintuitive. I passed posting score before I've even hit 35 reading score.

I couldn't put it better myself.

So glad I found someone else had the same issue of not understanding what it is as I did, so I can read the comments here and go on my way to fulfill all the conditions.

I've got a theory I'm testing out and so far it seems to work. I think you have to keep it all in one browser tab. I dont expect that you will get credit for a tab open in the background that your not using, but I expect if I move over to that tab and spend 5 minutes reading id get 5 minutes worth of reading score and i dont think thats true. because I'll finish going through 20 tabs and only have gotten 3 score. but if I make myself use only this tab and navigate to each thread one by one, it looks like I start accumulating reading score way faster

This is DEFINITELY working. You just have to stay on one and only one LC tab. This makes sense why some people grind easy and others are here for hours and only get 3 points. you end up only getting the reading points for your first tab.

That would make so much sense. As someone that opens new tabs for everything, seems that's what has been biting me in the ass.

 

[Game9393]

Sticking with 1 tab has been working for me too.

 

[red10242048]

There has got to be a better system than this. Every time I visit, I usually open 5+ tabs based on what I found interesting on the front page. If the thread (usually game) isn't actually interesting, I close it. I go through the rest one by one, reading fast. Then I go look at some specific threads I keep a tab on. For the longest time, my reading score was stuck in the 30s. It only started to rise when I deliberately stay on one page, set the middle mouse auto scroll on the lowest level, and read or do something else on my phone. Once the auto scroll hits the bottom, I go back up and spend the ~30 secs it takes to actually read through the page. (I've also tried manually moving down a reply every 30 secs to pretend I'm a slow reader; I did it for 4 pages of a thread I didn't really care about and it raised my reading score by THREE.)

This current system punishes you for what it's scoring you on (reading), it just rewards you for your ability to waste time doing nothing on a webpage.

Well, it's different for everyone. I basically passed the reading score requirements on day one, but I read every rules post and searched for explanations of all the mechanics.

 

[ddaytz]

Oh boy that's a new system that I didn't see when I first joined. Really interesting though, just like the coins system. Really though, if your reading score is low it's because you're zoooomin past posts that you're on which is exactly what the mods are trying to avoid. They want to foster actual people using the site, not just beep boop lemme get plus. That by itself isn't too hard.
