New Rule

[nodepositneeded]

Does this include post about jokes.

Jokes are fine - as long as they are good ones!

If they don't make me laugh - I may deduct 1,000 chips per bad joke!

I definitely think that this is a smart move. I was starting to see a lot of copy and pasted articles. Kind of like how there were a lot of very short post with not much of a point with the old system.

I honestly just read this rule now after i had posted some articles from other sources. I just liked passing on articles that i enjoyed reading, and knew others would too. Is there anyway we can keep posting these but just not get awarded chips? (And not get penalized)

Because there are many articles out there that the only reason i post them is because they say things better than i can.

I will only deduct the chips that you received for the article posted (and I will only do this if the majority of a member's posts become article based).

So feel free to post any articles - I will only deduct the chips you earned for the article posts.

Ok thanks NDN that clears things up for me a bit. Just thought i needed to defend myself in that i wasnt just posting to earn the chips

Why can't you summarize what you've read and expond ..then let me rebut or reiterate your views. I'm totally for this change. Quote from the article if you must but i tooo see no need for article pasting by large.

Are we allowed to post a link to the article? Probably not. Maybe thats why you feel the need to copy and paste. Maybe a seperate area that does not get posting points is needed. Can't be sure if that is even possible.

Ty NDN for you vigilance in standing watch over us. I'm having a real good time here and love the games ..well the black ninjas give me a fit ..but i will get them ..

It is possible to create sections that will not award chips, but I don't think this would help prevent articles from being copied and pasted.

I'm not too worried about it.

This isn't a major problem at the moment and as long as I deduct chips manually for any excessive articles being copied and pasted I think we'll be ok!

how about awarding extra chips for really good jokes. Let the members rate them on a scale of say 0-10

That could get a little time consuming!! I think from now on though, I will randomly award extra chips for high quality posts. So if you have some extra chips in your account, it's likely you got them because of a great post you made recently!

NDN,

Looking for some clarification. If I write an article and post it on one of my sites and then copy and paste it here, is that going to have chips taken from me? I hope that isn't the case and I miss understood what you were doing.
