+Rep

[Zawadx]

Spoiler for Hidden:

Bit OT:

What are those green/yellow/white pips under the reputation power?
It says I live under a cloak and that SpikeSpiegel is a mummy and that Higurasi is mythical, Which is most certainly not true.

Question: What is Reputation?

Reputation is a small 'compliment' system designed to give points to those who either contribute fantastic ideas, help others on the forums (with deck building, editing card ideas, etc.), or do positive things in general. These points cannot be spent, but can help show off a person's positive character traits. Spoiler for More details: - You gain +1 rep for each post. - You gain +3 rep for each topic. - You need to be Jr. Member or above (30+ posts) to give others reputation. - Your "Reputation Power" determines how much rep you give to a person. - You gain one Reputation Power for each 100 reputation points. - You one Reputation Bar (the green thing) for each 500 reputation points. - You can give reputation up to 5 times per day (to different users). - You can give reputation again to the same person after you've given reputation to one other person. - You cannot lose reputation. - You can disable reputation from your profile. You will still receive rep from others, but it will only be visible to you. - You can see who gave you reputation, and why, in your Profile - View Reputation.

Higu added the Turquoise Nymph one too (I guess)

Yes, I think some of those descriptions have been changed. Update to the list, Higs?

[Higurashi]

Which they can.

Then it should be absolutely fine for this thread to exist exactly as the OP intended.

Nope. The opening post encourages low-content post spamming, which is against the rules.
Which I said here: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/general-discussion/rep/msg1142024/#msg1142024

Yes, I think some of those descriptions have been changed. Update to the list, Higs?

And not quite. I added Immortal, Phase Dragon and Turquoise Nymph after Morning Glory is all. At some point I'll add more lower tier creatures to fill the list out since there are several people that are above 70 rep.

The "hides in shadows" one has been changed to "hides under a Cloak", as pointed out by Frozengaia.

Nope. The opening post encourages low-content post spamming, which is against the rules.

Surely no more than, say, the "Yo' mamma" thread in Humour.

Actually, the laziest way of getting rep is playing forum games.

[Higurashi]

A request thread for low-content posts which even awards the spammer would overcome any other method of encouraging low-content posts in less than a week. Humour at least serves a little purpose, though the entire board would be removed if it got to the point where the spam became unacceptable there. As it is, the board doesn't get many posts at all.

Now, you don't notice it, but I often have to remove posts in Off-topic for simply being low content or for being in Humour with a combination of low content and the complete absence of a joke (or a discriminatory one).

And a forum game is surely what this thread was intended to be.

A request thread for low-content posts which even awards the spammer would overcome any other method of encouraging low-content posts in less than a week.

The example given was getting someone to post in the "Corrupt A Wish" forum game.  If that is an example of encouraging low-content posts, and low-content posts are against the rules, then why is the "Corrupt A Wish" thread allowed to remain open?

[Higurashi]

Getting tiresome explaining the obvious to you, and it implies you're only being contrary for the sake of it. As such, it appears this discussion is over. As you said, it's only an example. The first relevant sentence is: "Give people +rep if they do what you say."

The entire premise is the issue, not one pretty irrelevant example. In fact, no one's even said that was an example of a low-content post.

Lastly, there is no request or intention in this thread from the poster of making this into a forum game. The forum game that's based on the idea of doing something the previous poster said has a twist in the premise and doesn't, of course, encourage spamming in other boards or that one. A forum game needs to fulfill several criteria to become accepted by the Forum Game Organizer or the Admin, and the board doesn't count towards your post count.

Merged your double posts.

I don't think there's any call to be rude.

So it's based on the assumption that only low-content posts would be encouraged, rather than any behaviour that's actually being encouraged?

Our Admin already gave you exhaustive explanations. There is really need to go on? 

[Higurashi]

I don't consider that observation to be neither rude nor personal; it's just part of the behaviour of being contrary. Doesn't say anything about you as a person. If you think it's rude, it's regrettable that it would incite an emotional reaction of that nature, but I posit that it's not rude with the correct perspective. As I said, it only implies you're just being contrary.

No behaviour has yet been encouraged, nor is any assumption necessary. You need only look at the wording of the OP to see that it would directly incite low-content posts.

If the OP isn't intending to change the OP (I love being able to use that sentence), I think I'll post the revised idea of this project in Off-topic. Credit for the inspiration will be given to MasN. If the thread gets attention, it could become a big thing.
