That'd be pretty impossible to enforce, yeah. I don't think any mod wants to make those kinds of decisions. But 10ac seems a very reasonable amount. It's really not that hard to get coins by being social. I've been here 2 days and I've got 300ish
I guess it's just odd that a system designed to encourage being social, the entire AC and ranking systems to gain more access/get more benefits, then penalizes you for posting topics, lol. Note that I'm not even referring to myself here. I don't recall ever starting my own thread on this site. And I know that if someone is determined to gain a lot of points and be social for that purpose it is definitely doable. I think I got members+ in about 2 days back when it happened, but that felt very "not me" so to lose 10ac when there are entire months where that is all I gain just seems like a blow to those of us who are mostly actual lurkers.
I suppose everyone reacts to systems differently. I agree that things like this can feel like getting punished for someone else's crime. Not sure if I could've thought of a better solution to the issue though.
Especially if your like me and didn't know there was an issue to begin with. lol. Clearly more going on behind the scenes on a hosted site than I realized. I been a part of several forums over the years and I've never been on one where it was discouraged to create new topics, even ones with built in "rewards for participation" systems.
Maybe a way to get those 10ac refunded? If the thread got enough likes/replies maybe. Might be workable, but no idea how/if it could be coded in.
a popular thread would be it's own reward since the author would gain points at a much higher rate than the 10ac it costs to create it. I think I'm just arguing against my own logic now, lol.
Sounds like the perfect time to go play a game... release and think clearly lol
Yeah but thing is I didn't get lifetime when it was still at 350, feels like a sucker punch since it was right there

Til next time Lurkers.
No luck with decaf coffee? Still has some caffeine, but much less.
That's high praise, coffee is hard to substitute!
yeah, and here the worst part is the humid conditions, so, I practically live inside with AC. I used not have AC when younger and I literally sat on towels lol. Like the sweat s a killer, and I only go outside if need to tidy the back yard, but this time of year so far the weather is nice and pleasant. Then also, the cold is something Im not over keen on, so there is no win for my body lol.
I just feel like you can always put on more clothes if it's cold. There's ways to stay warm. If you're hot, you're just screwed most of the time.
