minimum game requirements (close please)

[jgordon1111]

Require that all members of CC play at least 4 games per month premium and freemium:


Everyone who is a member of CC must play at least 4 games per month/this covers freemium who only get 4 at a time


This will be a significant benefit to the site, because those who just come to CC to aggravate other players with their opinions, rather than playing as the site was designed for, may actually have legitimate and worthwhile input to as how the site is being run, and or then be capable of talking from experience about other players or games settings etc. This will greatly enhance the site by people putting up or shutting up. If you lapse in this requirement you recieve a temporary escallating ban especially if you have posted therefore had the time to play. Those that dont play but constantly post make the site less enjoyable for those that do and feel they dont really have a right to input in many of the topics that the players partake in. :

No. No. No. You want to argue for turning off forum posting if you haven't played in x days w/e but this idea is just NO. If I don't want to play I'm not going to play. This kind of nonsense will just result in driving away intermittent -paying- players. I would be raising hell if I took a break and came back banned from using what I paid for because I took a break.

This would deter those from creating multi's for the sole purpose of creating havoc in the forums.

Forum posting privs could be tied in with the scoreboard.

[Gen.LeeGettinhed]

why don't we just limit the number of Forum Posts to say . ..4 per month for fremium. ..and 5 for Premium. That might slow down the BS flaming and baiting stuff.

[greenoaks]

1 post for every 5 turns taken

[redhawk92]

a post for every completed game

fremiums dont deserve as much of a say they play free anyways

[jgordon1111]

no please do not misunderstand what I am saying. there are freemiums out there who play there games as much as possible, there freemiums who are in clans.

What I am trying to limit is the people on here who do not play games or who might play 1 game every couple of years,but are a constant aggravation making posts instead of playing. This is a game site it was intended to be a game site. If you have time to constantly post you have time to play.

For players like renee w,if you are taking a break and not posting it would not count against you.

i don't know why, i have someone in particular in mind that would fit exactly that description!

LOL betiko I am trying to get all of them,to play or be silent.

My stance on this is, its a gaming site,designed to be a gaming site, if you want to only blog about your opinions go else where,especially if you are discussing how the the site is run or the map settings or your opinion of other players, If you are not playing your opinion does not count as far as I am concerned.

I feel this suggestion has merit just on the basis that it was designed as a gaming site,the blogging is a secondary function, a privilege to the PLAYERS on CC, and if all you do is blog and are making the site less enjoyable by expressing counter productive opinions on topics in which you have little or no exerience then you need to be stopped.

So either you play the required games and get experience or you shut up and leave.

Very simple and straight forward solution to implement and make the playing CC customers less aggravated.

That would aggravate the hell out of me. I play games
~When I feel like it
~In tournaments
~Invited

Otherwise I'm in Mafia, checking out the GD, looking at tournaments.

That seems too wide of a suggestion that would punish those who come to the site to relax. Yes it's a gaming site, but if you don't like what's on the forums, don't go on them. But don't restrict who can use the forums because a few people think they 'deserve' the right to use them.

Agreed. This is an awful idea. I have played several games for years and years, and tho I've long since "retired" I've stuck around the forum community and still apart of benefits and improvement to the site(s).
This kind of rule would give me the final push out of whatever site(s) implimented it if i was a semi occassional or retired player.

Sillyness. By trying to improve the site you will encourage people to join games and deadbeat and or take turns randomly just for the ability to post, and that will ruin a lot of the game quality not improve it. If those people are wrecking such havoc that a rule like this needs to be put into place, then they will likely get in trouble anwyay. If they are doing so and annoying you withint he rules...FAMO - thats exactly what its there for.

Jak mafia games are a part of playing and participating.

Ice pak you are part of a clan and play when called upon, if you are not involved in other games.

The ones that I am saying who need to step up and play are those that have been part of this site for years and mainly participate in the forums,expounding on map settings and thier opinion of other players. If you havent played them or played the maps or the settings then how can you express an opinion? You read the rules ergo you are an expert,NO. Otherwise you would realize that you are in violation of at least one of them.

If you want to blog go somewhere else, this is a gaming site play here whether it be mafia or maps or both

Currently, but if i retire from CC eventually I would want to still be allowed to post here without some BS rule about me having to be active in games.

LOL

1. Retire, come on Ice pak.

2. Even if you did you would still play, its in you, the challenge will always be there, someone new who thinks they are better, and you will play them to find out one way or the other lol.

1. Not likely to happen in the near future
2. But it definitely could eventually happen, without me playing the game. I'm a member of 2-3 communities where i played for a long time but no longer play, but still check forums regularly.

FAMO, thats what its there for.

this isnt about famo Ice,this is about using the site for what it was intended, and if your going to offer opinions at least have played enough that you know what your talking about and therefore the right to talk about.

Jgordon is just bitter over the fact he is one of the worst posters on this site and can't catch the hint he should man up.

You'll get it some day, bud.

[jak111]

Okay here's some suggestions I've come up with just to humor myself and anyone who takes a look at them.

~This rule would have to effect all players, not just a select few/majority, which means just because I play mafia if something like this were to occur it'd still be part of the rules where I'd have to play games -.- Which my games last sometimes more than a month, so 4 in a month = impossible for freemiums who don't deadbeat.

~If a rule like this WERE to be made, then perhaps limit forum posting to non New Recruits, as in, they have to play 5 games before posting in ____, ____, and ____ forums.

Other than that, yea.. this suggestion is a waste bud. Like Ice said, FAMO system is there.

[IcePack]

this isnt about famo Ice,this is about using the site for what it was intended, and if your going to offer opinions at least have played enough that you know what your talking about and therefore the right to talk about.

The site offers a game AND forums. Meaning you can use one and not the other. There are plenty of people who play who do not use forums, and some who use forums who do not play.
Should we also require a rule that makes you post so many times before you can accept a new invitation?

And i disagree that you can't give an opinion on something wihtout having done the activity. Plenty of people can give great financial advice, or parenting advice, or tell you how to perform many things (surgeries, run companies, etc) without actually having done that exact thing ever before.

If you dont want to read someones post, FAMO. It may not be about FAMO, but that's exactly what its there for.
They aren't going to force people to use their product, as it will drive people away more than they would gain satisfying a few people who dont utilize features already in place.

Exhibit A: I'm tired of reading this silly suggestion, i'm going to FAMO.

[jgordon1111]

Well then it looks like this one needs moved to the dead file.

thank all of you for your feedback. And for being civil about your responses

[jgordon1111]

Awww I missed your post there M,just saw it I find it odd you have all MB's foed, yet if one of us says anything in the forum you are quick to flame and bait us. Why foe us if your going to read what we say and post a rebuttal( flame and bait us). BE very glad you are in the clan you are because you would have got a vacation via us by now if you weren't. I no longer hold the MB's back from reporting you for it,so be very careful of doing it in the future. I turned my spot over to BR and I believe he would love to catch you doing it again lol.

[agentcom]

I see you've given up on this JG. I'm with you in spirit, but I think the posters above make good points. There might also be technical problems to linking posting ability to games played. Also, would Lack even be allowed to post? Haha

Exactly right Agent, I should have considered what I was asking to be done. But the other posters do have valid points and I am going to ask that this be closed.

This is a joke, right?
