Rolling Over Forum Posts!

[linsanna]

I thought it would be great if we could roll over our forum post to the next month, in case we were short the 30 post from the previous month. Let's say you post 28 times in May but because you do not have the exact 30 posts required in the 30 days, well your just out of luck then. I would feel like my post actually mattered not  just the exact amount of 30 posts in a month. It is just a thought.

I love this idea linsanna, because there are -so- many things that tend to happen just as we get close to our 30..such as a storm, or losing our net or another power issue etc..that really isn't our fault.  So I think this would be a great way to help people that work hard to get those posts every month.

Ha! Yes, that would be nice!

[lmrbean]

Yes, I agree. I would like it if you got paid whenever you reached 30 posts.

I'm pretty sure the forum bonus is suppose to be more of an initiative to be active on the site because if you're getting on to post you're probably going to attempt to do something that will actually profit the site.

I could see people getting on sporadically to post and expecting the bonus whenever they finally reach 30 posts.

I agree with ladavia89.   People would probably not try to get the 30 in one month.  Not saying it wouldn't be nice but the whole idea is an incentive to get it done.   I try my best at the beginning of each month to get as many as I can as quickly as I can, that way if something unforseen comes up, I've got it done.

If you are waiting until the last minute to reach 30 posts and then cannot hit the mark because of a power outage - it really is your own fault in my opinion.

I don't think they would do a rollover like a phone, if you do at least 3 a day that would be more than 30. I do when they are post, at least 6/7 a day. So I still have more than enough.

That wouldn't serve to keep us active on this forum every month very well....

It sounds like a good idea, however, I think it would encourage more laziness and procrastination. It’s all about managing our own time.

That is a good idea but being an active member is part of being online on this site. And just doing one post a day will get you the 30 posts most of the time.

[sherryfan]

that's a good suggestion, but I would say it is hard to handle who has which

I suggest getting rid of the 9 post CAP in a 24 hour period for new members! It's not my fault that I joined on the 21st of the month, didn't realize the PTP incentive until my like 5th day, didn't realize there was a 9 post cap until yesterday and i MAY barely make it to 30 in time... who knows!? There is a lot of info on FC and it takes time to sort and read through it all.
I just don't think the cap is a good way to keep newbies encouraged to stay on if they're being denied being active.... just my 2 cents...

The 9 post limit gives new members time to figure out the site without flooding the forum. You shouldn't be trying to rush to get 30 posts in a week.Just start off in August.

Just because I'm new doesn't mean what I have to say is worth any less than anyone else who has been here for years. I'll make the 30 post minimum this month, I've got the posts, thanks.
