Re: SHOP - New feature

Re: SHOP - What is it?

heres something, what happens if a person gets a kerrigan doll for instance, and then deletes his account, what happens to rare items like that?

 

Re: SHOP - What is it?

I delete posts all the time when they are in no way contributing to the discussion, or when I'm merging self-replies, etc. A lot of the time the stuff I delete isn't malicious, just poor forum presentation. So I think a 50 mineral punitive deduction is way too strong most of the time. Perhaps you can let moderators decide the deduction (up to 50) when we delete the posts?

 

Re: SHOP - What is it?

Actually, we moderators cannot decide how much minerals will be deducted when we delete a post. It is a set figure of 50, only the administrator can change it.

We don't delete replies that are of a poor presentation or poor wording. Posts are only deleted if they are considered "Pure Spam". For example a post containing only the word "LOL" is considered pure spam. In this instance members are encouraged to improve their posts through the modify function and hence avoid the need for deletion.

 

Re: SHOP - What is it?

My above post was a suggestion. I think there are plenty of situations where deleting message without punishing the poster is better than editing the message.

 

Re: SHOP - What is it?

The ability of deleting your own posts is good, but there are some drawbacks on how the money would flow upon deleting a post by yourself. Here are my concerns:

- When a moderator deletes his/her own posts, would that trigger the $50 penalty?
- When a user posts, and deposit all his money to the bank, and delete a post, will the money be withdrawn from the bank as a result of deduction of the money the user get from the post he just deleted? Will the $15 apply to such a withdrawl?
- Similar to the one above, but this time the user used up all his money after posting, then decide to delete his post and doesn't have enough money to pay back for the deletion, what would be the expected result of that?

 

Re: SHOP - What is it?

Yes, everyone is treated equally

No, there is no withdrawl fee when minerals are deducted from the bank as a result of post deletion

EDIT: A member's minerals cannot go into negative, the lowest point is zero. If their posts are deleted when they have 0 minerals in their pocket and 0 in their bank, this figure will remain 0.

Please Note that members are not permitted to abuse this system. A member is considered to be abusing this system when "he/her posts lots of spam to obtain extra minerals, then spend all the minerals in the shop immediately, consequently losing 0 minerals when all of their spam posts are deleted". If a member is found to be abusing this system there will be consequences.

Re: SHOP - What is it?

Quick question, I'm still a little new to this particular forum, but can someone explain to me how the power level concept works?

 

Re: SHOP - What is it?

It's a way to rate fellow forum members, it's like karma.

If you see a post that you think is very helpful or made some really good points, then you can power them up by clicking the blue arrow pointing up. On the other hand, if you think a post was particularly poor in content, was incoherent gibberish, or just down right spam, then you can power down the poster clicking the red arrow pointing down.

Welcome to the forums btw.

 

Re: SHOP - What is it?

exactly like this post of remy.

yes this is a good example post. he is helping newbie like you on this forum, and he makes you (them) feel welcome. so if you feel like it, then power him up. i know i will. owerup:

Re: SHOP - What is it?

This is what I love about all the gaming 2.0 fansites springing up, letting the users interact more with the site and each other. Creating more to do then just read forums

Has anyone been to gameriot? Thats what AMPed gaming turned into, they have mostly WoW players on there and they use an XP system, things like this get addicting. I first saw a StarCraft style one on sc2armory.com

As far as ideas go, I'll have to browse a bit more to make sure I don't suggest something that's already been said... but I've got tons

 

Re: SHOP - What is it?

Ok now I don't know where else to post this, but if someone has some money for me to lend, I would gladly accept it..
I didn't want to post this in a new topic.
I want to create an Immortal army of five, but I am soo far away from it right now.., I only have only in the bank. (also if you would like to buy the zealot or the probe just tell me..)
