ACTIVITY CHECK DISCUSSION

[paradisamods]

Hey guys!

So there's been some confusion and disagreement about what should/should not count for activity check, what is counted where, etc. So this is a post where we'd like to discuss revamping the activity check system with you! Once we can get a clear idea of what everyone feels is fair, it will make it easier for us to have a clear system where everyone understands the activity requirements desired of each character in Paradisa.


SECTIONS:

What do you think should count for a post?
What should constitute thread "size"?
What should constitute comment "quality"?
How much should the mods be responsible for? The players?
How should a thread on a log be judged?

Comments

Yeah, and that's also why we try to look into the person before sending anything out -- if they just do that despite having a good amount of threads around, then it's not really a big problem (unless they drop all the threads on that post or something).

Like I said, it's an interesting system to implement and I can see how it could have positive effects, but it also feels like a lot of policing.

I also touch on this in my other, much longer comment, but I do understand why the system was started - I'm just not sure I support the stipulations of what counts as "active" or not.

Yeah, and I get that. It is a lot of policing, I agree. It's something that's intended to help you guys as players, but it sounds like from a lot of the comments here that everyone would rather we didn't and that we step off and let things roll as they roll.

I am all for you guys taking a look at those things, but maybe just when it's needed.

I mean, for a lack of better term it feels like a hit list being built up against people. While I know that's not the intent, it does seem to push toward that "We've got our eye on you." notion.

If there is concern, it's good to know that you can look back on a player's tag and you can use the advanced search to find out if a player is or isn't doing a lot -- and keeping track of the hiatuses away from the comm is good too -- but I just think it makes people feel like they are immediately put under some sort of pressure, even before they've missed the AC period.
