So what about this idea I just had.
In an effort to eliminate forum spam, what if I do an upgrade where you DON'T get any posts for posting until you actually earn revenue.. i.e. if you earned 10 points from doing whatever, then you get hit with the cap right away.
If you earned 0 points, your posts earn you 0 points.
This would stop people from spamming instantly
That is an awesome idea.
Definitely sounds like a good idea...and makes people actually do more than just typing a few word response every day...
Well its better than having an admin judge posts by their opinion ofwhats spam!!! I got banned for 3 days for just joking about spamming in a post!
I see reg's saying lol, nice, etc. I do my best to send them a private bubble chat and let them know to post more, but if new players come on and see they can do it, they are going to wonder why they don't get points either.
Delete those postsQuote:

yes but then us Mods or Zab have to decide if what was tagged is really Spam, some players here will tag for spite.Quote:

I like this much better. Earning points is a pain in the ass! I didnt use sandboxie and had to spend 2 hours cleaning all the shit off my pc! I still try to do a survey every couple days while im playing but I qualify for very few of them now.Quote:

Absolutely agree with Joe and Shark. I do the offers I can, but they are mostly big point ones like CC trials n the like and I rely on the points from legitimate posts and videos to sustain my balance between these big offers. I constantly see things that are obvious spam and would be more than willing to tag these garbage posts.
I really think just the threat of losing points would significantly cut down on the BS posts. You could incorporate a point penalty for spamming the mods with spite spam tags, or install a way of keeping track of how good certain users are at reporting spam to the mods. That way you mods would have an easier time because people could build a track record as a good judge of spam - saving you time and effort.Quote:

Maybe you could do something like the youtube comments where if enough people mark something as spam then it is automatically treated as spam. Then maybe you could judge whether it is spam or not. Or just trust the judgment of the masses.
You already have the ability to report posts as spam.Quote:

I just tried to use that triangle button and it gave me some BS error, tried again, and it still didn't work.
I just checked and it is working. Are you using internet explorer? Some feautures don't work using that browser.Quote:

is a nice idea..but who will check the spam reports?? ;d
Stephy, I am using Safari, do you think that is the problem?
Agreed, and like Joe said, I would be even more willing now that my points for daily posts are being threatened.Quote:
