I'm confused--you're saying that as long as I have made 1 comment to a log (that I did not post) and have my character tagged into it, my one comment counts as having a post for that month?
But one comment, on a closed log where both players will be counted is? There's an implication that the thread will be continued, and that gives that person credit. The mods are only looking at the header of the log, and that I think limits how much activity is being considered for those players.
I get what you all are saying about the loophole, but I don't see why a person's tag into an open log can't be counted -- we don't know whether or not that thread will be continued. If it serial occurrence for that player, then it's the playerbase's responsibility to bring it to the mod's attention, or the HMD.
And as for the difference between log comm vs. main comm, I think the main comm posts are a different kind of activity. Maybe it's mostly my experience from other games, but I think that network posts aren't the same as face-to-face interaction with people. It builds a different kind of CR than words on a page.
Addressing in reverse order: I agree that network is different than face to face. Yet how often do you see things move to be face to face on the "network" here at the castle? I can only speak for myself, and for me, it happens fairly often. Right now that activity is lumped in on the main comm, despite the fact it may technically be better suited for the log comm -- logging face to face interactions versus interfacing over a journal medium

Okay, I agree with what you're saying here -- but if that's the case, and activity is going to be counted the same way as it is in the main comm, what's the point of having the log comm in the first place? Why not just put all the posts in the main comm and leave it at that? The only reason to have a separate community for it is if activity is counted differently -- but that's my opinion.
Do I think reaching out and commenting to only two posts, and having both those threads dropped, let's hypothesize, should count the same as you making the initial effort and then being dropped after you've responded to anyone reaching out to you, or having no one reach out to your open log? Not necessarily. That doesn't feel like an equivalent to a post to me.I don't disagree? But I don't necessarily agree either? Granted, I don't drop threads, I do my best to complete them, but I'm a slow tagger and most days I get to my threads once a day. When I had to prove my activity for this month because my log threads weren't counted, I had several

I don't know. I don't know a lot of what the separation was called, outside of "prose friendly and face to face" in the log comm. If I could post prose to the main comm and be answered that way, I'd be fine with it. The separation of communities is more a longstanding LJRP tradition by now
( ... )
In most communities that I'm in? The communities are separated because the activity requirements are different. All people commenting into a log get credit for the log. Not everyone gets credit for the network posts. Personally, I think it would be easier if everything was in the same community.
And i also think things should stack -- if you have the intent, you've been commenting into logs, then I don't feel we need to assign numbers to things proving you're "active" enough. Heck, interaction, the threading is the important part. That's what I wish was really counted, and the concept of initial posts just... weren't as important. That intent, the actual threading, seems a lot more indicative of activity, and top posts themselves are more means to begin threading.I agree with you. Which is why when I was considering my activity this month, I tried to tag into open logs because a) I thought I would be credited for the activity, and b) that it would be weighed more strongly because I was making the point of going out for that

sob I'm going to sum this up with a +1; and knowing how the mods will want activity between comms weighed makes a big difference, especially with all you've said.
