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?

Continued Backtagging

I believe this was brought up in the How's the Game? But now I can't find it, so I will ask here:

Will backtags that extend into the current month count for the AC check? I can understand why they wouldn't if they were few in number, but if you had a lot, shouldn't that count for something? At least if you were currently on the list for needs-more-tags.

I know determining a quantity/quality would raise a whole 'nother issue, but those tags do take time. I don't want it to be an excuse, but a fallback in case things happen.

Honestly, I believe that they should count. You're being active and you're finishing off a thread. (I think as long as you've got current month tags as well in your AC links, it should be accepted as part of your AC.)

I count all my backtags as AC for my activity. I haven't heard otherwise from a mod when I submitted them.

But I have been curious about this, too, since there's been no mention anywhere.

It is discussed here: http://paradisaooc.livejournal.com/3532753.html?thread=93817553#t93817553

If it is the AC for September and I am still backtagging on a post that was started in July/August - can this "section" of tags still count toward my activity?
I don't mind if the post was only a couple weeks ago, but I think a month-plus beyond is a little extreme. It might be September for you, but we want to know what the character did in September, too. If you're supplementing a fair amount of activity, sure, might as well throw it in, but I won't count it on its own.

Ah, I see. As an extra thing, but only if you have other extra things.

Thank you! :)
