In the last couple of weeks, we have been trying to find ways to improve the quality.
We do not want to associate ranking up with karma or merit or any metric other than posting ...
however, if you see the amount of shitty posts posted just for the sole purpose of ranking up or earning points, you would recommend that we do something about it, and many did, and so we acted.
1- Posts under a certain amount of words are no longer counted into the count post, as this forum grow older, this amount of words will be increased.
2- Quality Penalty: if we see people bumping posts, or using quote without any real content to contribute, we will analyze their posts, and will penalize them by reducing their post count and their points.
3- Points are no longer dependent of the amount of words in your post, you get a certain amount of points for new topics, and a lesser amount of points for replies. - Amount of points will vary with time.
4- Posting in non comprehensive english is discouraged, please post in your local section if your english is very bad.
5- Posting new topics with 1 or 2 words for a title > will result in negative karma
6- Posting links shortened are no longer allowed, please use full original links , this is a forum not twitter.
7- Posting referrals anywhere other than the referral section > negative karma + post deletion + penalty
8- Posting the exact same topic in more than 1 section not allowed > it is called spamming > we blacklist all sites doing that!
