HOW MUCH SHOULD THE MODS/PLAYERS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR?paradisamodsOctober 1 2011, 22:02:10 UTC
Due to the size of this game, it is difficult if not impossible for the mods to find all activity every character has. Consequently posts such as the "Activity Check -- Additional Threads for (Month)" are made each month in order to allow players to inform the mods of activity their character has had that has slipped by under the radar of the mods. This post is never meant as a penalization, and is instead meant to reward players with passes and no marks on their AC records by allowing them to demonstrate and share their character's activity.
Do you like the current compromise of having to post threads to the "Activity Check -- Additional Threads for (Month)" post in order to make sure you are recognized with activity for any given character? Would you prefer a different system, such as one where players submit activity they want counted to the mods each month, and those submissions are looked over and passed or requests for further activity are made?
For example, would you like a permanent activity post where you reply each month to a comment with your character's name, filling out their AC for that month?
In another example, would you like an AC post made to the OOC community each month, where players are asked to respond to that post with each character's activity for the month?
Are there other systems you can think of which you feel would better work for this community and/or ensuring people feel recognized as active? There is only so much the staff can do when it comes to tracking activity. How do you feel improvements can be made, and what suggestions to those ends come to mind?

Speaking with an honest bias, I would love love love to have a permanent AC post where we go to comment with character activity for each month. Whatever ends up being decided to count as proper AC, and proper equivalents, I know I'd be happy and willing to tally up what I need to and comment for each character in a permanent AC post.
I favor permanent over monthly posts asking for responses to show activity on more a personal level of then being able to track activity in a general sense for each character -- you end up with a log of activity for a character, and I find that intriguing and useful for me.
I like this. The sheer size of the game, I can't even begin to imagine how many tags the mods need to go through. If we need to just update something ourselves it'll take 5 mins for us, and maybe make it better for you modlings.
All the other games I'm in require you to post your own activity monthly, and it is NOT asking too much of players at all. It never ever bothers me, and it makes life easier for players and mods alike. .__.
I'd be coo' with a monthly post coming up that we all stick our replies on. Easy.
It's still a new concept to me, but it would take some of the grunt work off the mods each month and make everyone more accountable for themselves. I wouldn't mind switching to a system where we post our own proof of activity at the end of every month.
Seconding this. And if everyone's so concerned about thread-dropping and whether or whether certain threads should count, then why don't you allow any 15-20+ comment thread to count for AC. Almost EVERY game I'm in will count one or two lengthy comment threads and/or a post and/or a log as suitable enough AC.
Personally, I dislike having to post to a particular AC post every month because inevetably things like emergency hiatus come up and people fail when they really should have been passed. I understand that it's not that big of a deal, it only takes ten minutes a character if you have good organizational skills, etc. but the fact of the matter is I don't like that system.
Being able to "save" with threads without getting a negative mark is awesome, but as I'm used to the previous system I wouldn't cry too much to see it come back.
