Maurice Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 We've made the following configuration changes to the forum: - You may now only change your Display Name once within 60 days and after reaching 750 approved posts. However, donators can still change their Display Name 3 times in 30 days without any minimum post count. - A new sub-forum was created in the Games forum called "Forum games". Since we've had lots of "forum games" topics cluttering the "Games" forum, this new forum will now serve those types of games exclusively. - Posts made in the "Forum games" forum won't increase your post count anymore (again to prevent excessive abuse of the current system, even if involuntary, and further promote DC-related discussions instead). Thank you! 12
Balthazar Manfredie Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 how will the gamers feel about this
Moonlight Magician Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 how will the gamers feel about this Well it doesn't matter We're not here for the number of posts but we're here for the DC. 2
Officer Kaoko Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Nice, Maurice! It's understandable . how will the gamers feel about this This is what I want to hear, too . Well, I think it's a good idea. Considering how most of us are able to get our post count very high through posting there (it's been a long time since I stopped :V). I wanted to suggest this long ago... And the change to the display name is also good. It gets confusing when members change their name, and I won't be able to recognize them till some times later .

Balthazar Manfredie Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 Well it doesn't matter We're not here for the number of posts but we're here for the DC. what ever you say someone has 6000 posts and 5999 is games
Genghis Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 Hopefully people won't start to spam important topics just to get their # of posts up.
Akazora Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 Hopefully people won't start to spam important topics just to get their # of posts up. That's what I'm worried about as well. Let's just hope that everyone takes this huge change in stride and actually contribute without spamming. The mods can help pinpoint the spammers and punish accordingly. I'm glad you're taking this initiative, Maurice. It's been a long time coming.
CarpetCrawler Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 how will the gamers feel about this Considering they were asking for the Forum Games to get its own section, they should be pleased about that. And the change to the display name is also good. It gets confusing when members change their name, and I won't be able to recognize them till some times later . That was the exact reason the rule was put into effect. Members were changing their member names far, far too many times, and unless you were in this group of people, you had no idea who any of them were. I got more than my fair share of complaints from other users about the names changing so much. Hopefully people won't start to spam important topics just to get their # of posts up. I'm hoping that our members would know better than to do that. We'll shall see. This has indeed been a long-time coming.
phantomlady1101 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 Well it doesn't matter We're not here for the number of posts but we're here for the DC. A rep for u!!!
Metantei Kiddo Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 how will the gamers feel about this The game master is so sad anyway
Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Awwww... I just found out about this... No wonder my active posts are different from my post counts >_< I was soooo confused about this at first...
Kid the Phantom Thief Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 Oh, oh, ooohh.. Now I see.. ^^'' Well, I don't mind!! :P I think it's better this way~!! I like it!!

Thank you! 750????????????????????? Not 500?????
tengaku squared Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 750????????????????????? Not 500????? Meh. Having the limit 500 posts puts more strain on that boundary. (basically, you reach 500 posts and you get a bunch of new features...)
Southpaw Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 Its hard to catch up why do you feel the need to catch up? isn't it more valuable to the forums for everyone to be making meaningful posts? 2
Parkur Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 Question: Do posts in the off topic section count? Because if they do, you should probably fix that 1
tengaku squared Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 Question: Do posts in the off topic section count? Because if they do, you should probably fix that Maurice didn't fix that. I'll assume he meant to do that.
Metantei Kiddo Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Yeah and its ok cuz we only post a little one in chatroom
IdentityUnknown Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 I like the new rules a lot better. And since post count doesn't matter too much to me, I'm not affected. I think the name rule was good as well, people should think seriously before choosing a name.
Magic Katori Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Question: Do posts in the off topic section count? Because if they do, you should probably fix that Maybe not
hopes Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Oh!! This is good. That way, people can't just increase their post count by playing games!! Maybe we'll get some good information about DC from some new people...
