I just hope that with this move people will start spamming [even more]. I can see many people who aren't really spamming, but their posts are simply not constructive.
Of course, this would be an ideal place to debate such things and attain windfall post counts, but not very useful for Stunna is it? Lol.
I don't believe that those with PrimeDice (or any other paid) sigs should have to evaluate whether their post meets the moving goalposts of expectation in value set by many - there's always somebody hating.
How do we even describe constructive? Is it the intent of the post or the conversation which may entail from its existence? I mean should Stunna only count posts which lead to a quote, or perhaps those who objectively add value to the thread in which it was posted. Imagine the due diligence of such a task.
I think that not taking the piss is sufficient enough. Set a
fuzzy pisstake threshold - if someone is clearly abusing the system i.e. spamming, then do not pay them, otherwise do and accept that they are merely like everyone else. I imagine that this is how it currently works.
Remember that 4000 is a payment cap and not a definitive target, however I can see your point that it can promote some extra posts of lesser value. But how many people are even hitting 2000 posts? How many of those are taking the piss? Pretty sure they wouldn't post anything less than quality content.
