I really appreciate that you are willing to open this up for discussion - but the fact of the matter is that we have always talked about this. I can go back through the How's the Game posts that have all been put up in this game. I can look at every single post that has been brought up with these situations and there is always, always going to be different replies from different people.
The thought that you can determine a specific number/quantity/quality of what a member of this game submits to count toward activity is sort of upsetting.
We applied to be in the game. We understood at the time of our application and acceptance what was expected of us was just a simple two-count activity. Do two things a month and you're welcome to play with us in our world.
Your two things, from the day I first joined this game back in June of 2008 was either two journal entries or two times you participated in a log (or any combination of those two).
Even when I was a mod and activity was brought up, we further clarified it so that hiatuses were no longer "indefinite" and so that the activity was more clear as to how you could make up your activity because there was no way that we could figure out how much was enough.
By asking us to put down these further stipulations of "What a tag is" and "what a log tag is" and "what is a good quality tag" - you are removing the fun from what I thought was meant to be a game.
I understand that this is a large game and it's difficult to keep everyone active, but Paradisa is by no means a failing community. If people have issues with a player's activity not being enough, or that threads are being dropped, aren't we supposed to feel comfortable approaching a mod so that it can be discussed?
Putting all of these questions up here just makes me wonder why I am even trying to stay in the game.
