discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[Bleed1Exile😈]

Tax the rich!!!!!!

No but seriously, turning off trades will make AC more useless.

 

[ErzuzB]

Your positions are extreme EZB, and I don't like extremism!

All I do is to explain things.

 

[BananaPrincess]

All I do is to explain things.

You believe only 3 viable options

1. Staff monitors all transactions.
2. Get rid of all trades. 3. Turn off trade for good.

Just because you believe those are the only options, doesn't mean that Kavinsky, Tearson, Guz, Mime etc
believe those are the only options, and those are the ones with the badges.

 

[uncbuck]

dislike the bank because they caused all the too rich users.

But if the upper 1% are not abusing their wealth -- why even be concerned about them? I don't see a downside at all and the only impact being encouraging the peasants to new heights

Who turned the trade off? Me or the staff (with the badges)? So how can this be my option?
They did it, so they saw it that way, I just explained why.

They even discussed to remove all coins from all users...

the alternatives were:
- Reset all activity coins from everyone
- Create a new coin to replace the activity coin completely
- Create a new coin to replace the activity coins with a big ratio (but this doesn't solve the problem)
- Make the Lurkers' thread doesn't give coins for posts/reaction anymore

Then you had a real purge. But they choose to disable trade. Yes, they(!) not me.

You make me your target, but I am not.

I mostly used the bank for safety because of the times whole threads got purged.

You should have posted that first. I know Drakkon was the one who turned off the trade option,
because he said he turned it off in discord.

I thought he did that of his own volition. I did not know about the Guz89 comment.


@ErzuzB Do you think coins were a bad decision? I know on Walrus they have a rep system,
where you give reps, sort of like the coins, but not the same, as the rep system doesn't
buy paywalled content, but it does give badges VIP and Elite.

Slum can yell at me for double posting and glue this together with the other comment.

But the original idea by the mods according to Kavinsky was this 1% bank, no bank
for anyone under P1 i.e. P1 or higher to get bank.


Then Drakkon turns 1% back to 2% in bank, and disables trade.
This shit just gets weirder and weirder, because we were told this was not the plan,
and the plan was the 1% plan.

Edit: I don't see how disabling trade is going to fix the website and make everything all
hunky dory.

I thought you knew that, because it is in the same post Guz89 replied to you.

@ErzuzB Do you think coins were a bad decision?

Overall? No, I don't think the Coin System was a bad desicion, it was way better than the unclear and opaque system we had before. It just grew too big and complex for what it is. It should have stayed simple.

In my opionion 2 Ranks would have been enough. Members (the regular, not +) and VIP. Anything else should just have been either "Access Items" or "Perk Items".
"Members+" would be an "Access Item" because it grands access to Games+ and Co. Same for P4.
"Profile Customization" would be a "Perk Item" that... well grands the customization options.
And so on.
Simple, with no confusion regarding ranks and what they do.

I know on Walrus they have a rep system,
where you give reps, sort of like the coins, but not the same, as the rep system doesn't
buy paywalled content, but it does give badges VIP and Elite.

Honest opinion? Any rep system is utter garbage.
It is the epidome of elitism. As if some royal were granting privileges to a peasant.
"Here, my serf, take some alms from me."
"Thank you, my liege, thank you!"
It takes away any ability to make it on your own, and you are dependent on the goodwill of others.
Imagine being a lurker, compared to the Coin System it's horrible


And yes, I generaly very much dislike these kind of hurdles, no matter which system, because it forces people to interact and do things. But I do understand that it is neccessary for those sites.

 

[Bakairoo7]

Sheesh not that my opinion matters but it seems like a lot is going on here, woah!

[Bloodheart]

[Crisis33]

Call this wild but, Maybe they should just stop trying to fix what isnt broken.

 

[User_141169]

It's different one, the one who's in(?) Jewish and Mesopotamian mythos.

Late reply, I know lol.

O I thought so. Anyhow, all good. Thanks to let me know. I was not sure if same or not.

Have a good day


Also, to anyone

Did LC reduce the coin bank amount to 2% or has it always been only this? I thought it was 20% but maybe im wrong. Not that it matter much because it just sits there. We need some badges or things we can buy. That will be nice.

When the bank started it was only 1%, then they changed it to 2%.

Let's get some stories going? Anyone wanna share moments their lives flashed before their eyes. Like truly flashed before their eyes?

*My story was from when I was younger. I was a kid and I lived in a rural area. I had been living at my parents friends house. It was a very rural and countryside area. Naturally, as children, I went out to play with my parents friend's children. When we went out and were far from the house, on of the kids pulled out a cigarette and started smoking (we were around 8yrs old). I told the kid to stop and that it was bad and we shouldn't be doing that as children. He brushed it off and I decided to tell him I was going to snitch on him. *I thought it was in his best interest since we were so young*. He didn't take it lightly and proceeded to shove me to the ground. Once I fell over, he pounced on me and picked up a nearby rock and threatened he was going to kill me. In that instant all time slowed down, I could feel my heartbeat and memories from my infant days started to flow in. I was frozen. After what felt like 5 minutes of reminiscing and him staring over me, he got up and let me go.

True story!
