I reckon posts in Random and Role Playing should be disabled. These are not Good Quality posts a lot of the time, and they shouldn't be counted.

Other KH Forums also have it that it doesn't increase your post counts in those two forums.

Guys, think about it, if you really didnt care about other members having a "higher" number post count than you, then you wouldnt make threads about it and argue. You would just accept that their number is higher for whatever reason, and go on living your life.

 

On another note. I also like Kaiso's idea.

if we did have to get rid of post count in RP I would like Kaiso's idea. apparently Hinako noticed it as a good one too.

I just feel like it's a sort of "second chance," and it's not getting rid of the posts completely. I don't see the problem in it because if people love role-playing that much, they'll be able to EARN their posts back. =

 

I don't really like that idea of showing two post counts, it looks... weird. I don't understand why post count is such a big deal. Honestly, I HATE how my post count just reached 3,000. It makes me feel like an idiot. If people like having high post counts, I really don't see a problem in putting a bit more effort than,

So and So bust through the door and yelled out, "HELLO."

and maybe put something more descriptive and still you'll still be achieving your goal, while still being more contributive than spamming your ass off. Random CAN be a problem too, but we can just move the overly ridiculous threads to forum games, or remove them. Which we do. Role-playing is really out of hand, there is no place for threads if we feel they're getting too out of hand.

 

Some were suggesting, "OH if we do four sentences we'll be okay." -- Where is that? I'm not seeing it at all. Sure the thread was removed but a silly thread doesn't change much. It's the actions and I still don't see it at all. It really, REALLY upsets me. 95% of the role-playing now can be more significant in a chat room and if you're going to TALK about changes, SHOW people what you want to change. Don't talk and then not act. I see, MAYBE three or so people who do actually try in general, but not many. I mean, I've shown what I wanted to see in a role play.

 

If something does happen to where some members do lose their post count, there isn't anyone one else to blame if you think long and hard about it. Nothing's wrong with trying again. ;3

 

People can still have fun, and people can still gain it all back. It's just the way it was earned at THIS moment seems rather.... well, sad. o-o...

 

 

I still stand by my idea than anything else. But who knows. o-o;

your idea does make sense not to draw attention to myself saying 'oh Im a better rper than you.' but here is the most Ive posted.

 

 

Trey went to bed in his new house. His dreams were filled with nightmares and flashes of him on the Island.

Ana Lucia, Libby, Eko, Bernard, Sawyer, Trey, Michael and Jin were walking through the jungle. Sawyer had just collapsed due to a bullet wound. Ana Lucia was arguing with Michael over the others which had been torturing the Tailies since they landed here. Trey heard an outburst from Ana Lucia. " Their animals! If you think one gun and one bullet could stop them, THINK AGAIN!" Ana lucia said going back to the front of the group.

Another dream filled him.

 

Trey, Jack, Kate and Sawyer walked into the exploded remains of the hatch. Trey saw a body and saw it was Ana lucia. They looked around saw there were the bodies of Eko, Libby, Emma, Zach, Eli, Nancy and all the other Tailies. " Th-their dead. they are all dead." Kate said gasping in horror. Trey looked around and saw that this wasn't an accident. " Who would do this to them?" trey asked. His dreams ended as he woke up in a cold sweat.

 

 

 

some times I do admit and post like this:

 

 

Trey walked up too them. he said hi.

 

 

I dont post alot because when I come here I get really lazy =w=

 

Also because with the amount of people who use 1 liners I dont really feel like writing a super duper response only to get that outdated because of some plot-twisting short post which arrived before I could get mine out.

 

It also just makes everything boring, so I end up quitting.

 

I do like KaiSo's idea.

 

Besides, super high post counts are just stupid. If you were in the forum for a very long time then I could expect it, but even less than a year? Come on

im pathetic' date='[/quote']

 

You're not why cant we simply kill each other get along like mortal frienemies family?

 

dude, you are so funny,

 

 

I honestly don't care if we do both or not. But if I had to choose' date=' I would still choose roleplaying first. But not get rid of role-playings post counts altogether. The way that either section is now, is very contributive to be honest. =

 

....ffff I'm not writing this again.

 

What I propose is a subforum where we throw all the one-liners and non-serious roleplaying where it doesn't count for post count. I think it's fair, and teaches people how to role-play, without spamming. Also maybe a "Discuss plots/RPG characters." I also feel we should make some rules/guidelines specifically to the role-playing to somewhat control the "spam" a bit more.

 

 

I do think the role-playing is ridiculous how it is now and needs to be addressed. I'm not an expert at role-playing, but the role playing now really does look like it belongs in chat rooms, which keeps me away from it to be honest. I do actually really like role-plays.

 

 

A high post count honestly shouldn't matter. There's no real rewarding thing you get from well, spamming. All you get is a number. Does it really matter how hight it is?

 

The reason why I'm saying role-playing is because to put it.. quite simply.

 

Role-playing is filled with so many one-liner's it's nearly impossible to keep track of it due to the immense amount of posted spam that's each entire thread.

 

 

I would be completely against role playing such as : http://kh13.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=7580&page=40 --- Though... they have double-posted here and there' date=' and their posts still are rather short, and they have SOME one-liners, we can at least fix the double posting, and at least they're going more into detail than others. Though this one I still would consider a non-serious RP, but it's more detailed and more descriptive than the one-liners. I don't even need to link a one-liner. just go look... If you one-line once or twice, we would understand, but this constant post after post is all we see, it gets the point where it's just like, "so and so did this as this other person did that." -- Well, that's a bit over exaggeration but you should get the point.

 

Now. This is what I know how a role-play should be to be a "serious post-worthy" :

 

"Nnnnngh..." I whimpered as I hugged my throbbing head. What happened? The last thing I remember was leaving the track meet with my best friend, Jenn. It had gotten late and we were leaving when I had realized that I left my bag in the bathrooms. Jenn said she would wait for me, and I ran to get it. When I entered the building, everything suddenly went black. As I opened my eyes, I realized I was in the middle of no where. The small building outside of town I had been was gone. There was no concrete beneath my body, only grass and weeds. The stalls were still there, but the toilets looked like someone had taken a sledge hammer to them. I stood up, shaky and confused. I checked myself, to make sure I wasn't hurt. My clothes were intact, and besides the shock, I was fine. My hair wasn't even messy, surprisingly. I blinked twice and nervously looked up.

 

"Wha--?" Everything I had known was gone. Destroyed. Rusted. Dead. Nothing was really going through my mind, a few thoughts confirming the obvious. I was just struck dumbfounded. Grass was growing where there should be pavement. The buildings were falling apart and creaking to the sound of the wind. Trees were growing, and green plants were everywhere. Flowers I had never seen before grew everywhere and where the track use to be, grew the most beautiful of the flowers. Nature was ruling over the technology. It was showing it's domain over the dead world, and giving it a new life.

 

As I looked around, I saw what used to be the small town I lived in. The dirt road that lead the way there seemed no different, unlike everything else. It still lead to the town as faithfully as always. Towards my home. My home...

 

Finally coming back to reality, fear got to me and I looked around for anything near me. To protect me would be better, but I found my backpack next to my leg. It was filled with clothes, a snack bag, a bottle of warm water, and my phone. Somehow, most of my things were also in good condition, just like me. Except the phone. It was missing parts and the buttons where smashed in. There was something on the screen though. How it was still on I'll never know. But it was a text from Jenn. "Jenn... Jenn!" I screamed for her. Where was she? Where was anyone? Were they dead? Did they disappear? Were they taken away? Was this some kind of sick joke? No. They couldn't do this. This... this was done by some monster. And I was alone. That's when it hit me. Alone. Being alone was my biggest fear. Shivering, I sat down and began to cry. "Mom... Jenn... Everyone..." I sat and sobbed for a long time. When I knew I couldn't cry any longer, got up, put on my backpack, and headed for the town, which had to be about a half hour away on foot.

 

Survive. That's all I could do for now. Just keep going. There's no use in sitting around and crying. That's what Jenn was always telling me. "Keep up a stiff upper lip and keep marching, kiddo! If you don't do something, no one will!" But she's not here to help me now, so I have to do it. I have to do it. All alone.

 

 

... do you see how long that is? It's descriptive, while still keeping to a role-playing feel. Role-playing CAN be shorter than that, but one-liners? Come on. >; Generally though, the basic acceptable role-playing is around 5 or so lines, I think.

 

Here's a "typical" shorter one on the website as well. :

 

Her instincts weren't all that great' date=' and she trained herself to use a sword. Well, she had some help from her personal guard. He was such a sweetie, he only tried to keep her happy. In the end, she escaped for her one sanity and personal ambitions. It surprised her when this guy appeared out of nowhere and took an apple off the tree. She almost widened her eyes when the sword's tip almost sliced her ankle. He finally noticed her as she reached back to the hilt of her rapier. Pulling it out quickly, she watched as the blade reach over to touch his apple. Though, she didn't look defensive at all. Interaction with people was hard for her, least to say. "Hi...." She said in a quiet voice as her mellow eyes flickered to look directly at him. She pulled her back her sword not seeing any danger and put it back in it's sheath behind her back. Her face was now composed of a more sincere and meek expression, as she smiled most faintly. "Sorry, you almost wounded me. I thought...you were...nevermind." Helena tried to explain as she took a bite out of her apple and she winced a little, to hid her wings back inside her body. Dropping down from the branch with the apple in her hand, she stood in front of him a little bit hesitantly. Surely, he would notice her light blue horns..though. [/quote']

 

 

Ontop of that, the ENTIRE role-playing section from this other website I'm on is like that. It has PARAGRAPHS, PLOTS, PUNCTUATION... LENGTH. IN-DEPTH DESCRIPTIVE POSTS. Our section is just ridiculous and uncontrollable. I understand they might "spam other sections more" but meh... D8

 

 

I just feel role-playing isn't being used properly. The threads that are there now will still be there, but 90% would probably go into the "non-serious RP" subforum. The roleplays that would DESERVE to count as post count would be in the original section.

 

 

Now, I would be fine with random not counting as well, there used to be some threads in there that were actually discussions that were not serious enough to be in any of the others, but now there's more spammy threads than normal. I think it's okay to joke around, but it's like thread after thread after thread. But the reason I would say random should still count for posts counts is that it's giving one section for people to spam, but we can at least monitor it better than the chaos in the role-playing. If it gets too much like a game, we can move it to forum games. If it's to spammy in general we can just remove it altogether.

 

One last note, a member shouldn't want to spam. They shouldn't want a high post count. They should want at least a CUT like someone else said. It show's you're a good person, a great member, etc. etc.

 

Personally I love Kaiso's idea. It makes sense. But I guess it was ignored so.... -quote- 8D

 

dude, KairiSora06, you should like, be a lawyer(what, you organized your argument [opinion, what ever] and, well yeah,) , man i totally agree with all that,

Why thank you, I tried my best to express my opinion. Which I'm still standing by. =

 

I don't have much else to say, other than I still think this is more important than signatures and "moving images." o-o...

is there some way to have like if you dont have at least 2 lines or something in the post for RPs it doesn't count? But if you have at least 2 lines or more it does count?

2 Lines is still nothing. Admit it. You could do better than 2 lines.

is there some way to have like if you dont have at least 2 lines or something in the post for RPs it doesn't count? But if you have at least 2 lines or more it does count?

 

I'd prefer two paragraphs. :v

Agreed. We already have 2 line posts here and there. Atleast 1 or 2 paragraphs would be acceptable.

2 lines is barely even descriptive.

maybe 5 lines then? thats what we did at YCM.
