In an attempt to eliminate the spam, I've lowered the points for posts from 25 max per day to 20.
If this doesn't help, I may have to give Azreal1 and some others forum spam removal powers.
Trial Run, we'll see how it goes.

Forget about spam removal powers, limit who can actually create threads. THAT is the problem.
just give azreal some powers, he will be occupied and not insulting anyone........problem solved Like Western Skye
omgggg eeeek,,,, :(,, i only get from points from loaning now, and th at not giong too good,, at moment... for new points i only do radio and posting,, and occasioanl crowdfloer,,, thats only things that work AT All for me tho...i have points right now,, but just those are onlyy wayy to get new points tho,,
I don\'t need the points and don\'t spam but the threads but i really just want to show people a strong arm for this happening....not fair to some users....rivdee needs to grow up along with some others....I for one am not worried about the points but I can see freerolls getting smaller if the points are not there to play....once again thanks for the upgrade rivdee
I cleaned up channel 1 drama, now lets move onto the forum spam
but goona punish all the reg poeple, that just trying anyways i think
Read my post in upgrade ideas regarding an idea/alternative.
Alright.. Lets try this.
20 points per day + i'll add some spam terminators..
I don't know if it's a good idea or not, what are the new players supposed to do to get points when they can't get an offer to convert or pay for points? Doesn't affect me, I usually buy points or some offers convert sometimes, but my new thing is the llb's, love that. But good luck.
is thiss ABOUT wanting to give less points zab,, or really just have less posts t ho???.. casue i dont think , re ally limiting it to 4 posts instead of 5 is goonnna change anythg really,,
well as usual i am left out of the loop wondering what the heck you are talking about,, figures
Azreal1 now has the ability to dish out infractions and delete spam.
You have been warned..
Maybe I should change his name to Walter White
well raffle is not realistic, if u dont wanna spend points on that , i,m jsut saying.... radio and crowflower only things now, y a....... and loans are gettin bad to do,,, i do a lot,, but cause poeple are having a lot mroe trouble paying back n ow,, to, casue harder to get points, so catch 22 a alittle therre.
I think the problem is that some people take advantage. Its Pokerowned is a restaurant that gives out free samples. Some poeple just come here and all they do is post for the 5 pts and day and thats it. Its like going into the restaurant and eating all the free samples and leaving until the next day when there are more available.
The 5pts for posting is obviously something people take advantage of it, blatantly doing it by making posts saying you are doing so just for the 5 points is like giving Zab the finger. Its an issue that has been around long before Rivdee made his thread and im pretty sure Rivdee was just fooling around making his thread but it was just the straw that broke the camels back.
I always wanted an active forum, and I though rewarding those for posting made sense to get an active forum..
Now, I think after almost 3 years it's a little out dated and we're getting far to much spam..
So let's clean up the site
1) Let's get rid of the drama in channel 1...
2) Let's clean up the spam in the forum
3) Let's get rid of the scammers abilities to scam (Middle Man upgrade coming)
i dont see what i said, that was bad at all here,, :(,,, pooeple tell me also,, they using posting,, radio, and crowflower, to get points to pay back, now too, so i s slowwwww going more at times,, is all i said,, for loans a little too, unless they buy points tho.. i,m waiting on some now to do that, to get me back now tooo... ok,, well ididnt think was, any big deal, tho.
I think the points for posting are a good for the "PO economy". Maybe to help clean it up you add a feature to be able to +1 or like individual comments or threads. If a comment gets 5 +1s or likes THEN the person gets the points. That way you are only rewarding the posts that are adding value to the forums.
I know it\'s a separate issue, but rrickir has a really good point about people being really bad about paying back loans. One of the biggest problems I\'ve noticed is that alot of previously active members had credit card reversals and went into some seriously negative points so they decided it wasn\'t worth it and left PO. Maybe you could reach out to them and offer to a 50/50 deal where half any new points earned would pay down the debt and half they could continue to use for whatever.
One last thought, I know the forums need some cleaning up, but based on azraels comments, he thinks almost everything is spam!! I\'m curious to see how that actually works out...
I agree with what you're trying to do- I'm not sure if you will see much of a difference from dropping to just 4 posts instead of 5. I may be wrong, but I guess its a trial run- I hope it does help.
What about something that doesnt let you get any points for posting that day unless you have earned points on something that day?
its only five points. It's not like its cut in half or anything. but I also Have hard time earning pts now that I did pretty much every offer I could. So it's just card flower and post for me.
right here azreal
I am glad that the chat and forum are being cleaned up.
When I first started here I was a little put off by the chat.
I think there are so many other ways to make points that people shouldn't have to rely on posting "just for the points".
Radio Loyalty has no daily limit so it can be a great replacement!
Yeah, I'm not really sure the true value of people just coming into the forum to post spam (although the guys who say 'I am posting for my 5 points' should have 100 points taken away :) ). Just think of this, if you posted every single day of the year, the max posts allowed, you would obtain 9125 points total. So, what is that for one entire year of taking the time to make 5 posts? less than 9 bucks in equivalent cash?
That would be great! I think I have asked for that in the WSOPO Thread!
I don't always get WSOPO chips for posts (never figured out why .....its not the cap...........so I just let it go)
Also, did it get limited to 10.........not 20?
I made 4 posts but only 2 credited. (Again, not the cap, I know all the rules and stipulations.....)
I always sandwich my post points with crowdflower points.
I just guess my posting points will always be screwed so I have never relied on them.
