Just a thought that I just had.

Wouldn't it be neat that if we could all post articles every day, possibly at an unlimited amount of articles?

Just a thought. What do you think?

[Netherrealmer]

there is a limit for a reason, people abused it with half ass no substance articles

[ptrikha21]

An Article is an artifact which should have an idea, its background/need, detailing & some sort of a summarization.
In a way that implies certain logical thinking and some work applied on an idea or thought.
Doing so in a qualitative manner everyday is not practical.
That is why I do not think that the right to post an article everyday is a good one.

[Spontaneo]

I understand your points. However, there are some of we members who would not abuse such benefit. Maybe in order to be permitted to submit articles, one would need to be invited or fill out an application?

Its a quality over quantity issue

The articles section of ForumCoin are intended to present the very best of the content offered on the site. There was a time in the past when members were allowed to present an article each day. Problem was many of those articles were very low quality and the articles section was filling with junk content. Fergal finally established a limit of one article per 48 hours to push members into actually taking the time needed to produce higher quality content in their submissions. That limit helped, but there are still questionable quality standards in more recent submissions.

There already is an application process and in fact even that was updated in January 2025. Have you looked at the rules lately? Rather than taking any steps backward, perhaps the application process needs to be more limiting to assure higher quality content.

The first consideration is the quality level of the content being submitted throughout the site. The collection of reputation points and the resulting reputation scores already demonstrate which members are submitting higher quality content and which are submitting very low quality content in the collective opinions of the ForumCoin community via reputation points. Although it appears reputation points are given at random and at the whim of members, it is clearly obvious that those who are submitting high quality content are receiving far more reputation points while those who are submitting low quality content receive far fewer reputation points. The calculation is far more accurate than it appears on first glance.

I propose that authors allowed to post articles should be limited based on their proven quality content in other areas of the site. That would limit authors to those who have contributed enough content to prove themselves; perhaps a minimum of 100 posts. A second stipulation would limit the approved authors to those who have established and maintained a minimum of a 10% reputation score. Those who have not reached that level should not be permitted to post articles at all. That combination would eliminate a lot of members who have already proven they are not capable of submitting high enough quality content to be able to post articles.

If you want to post articles, you have to improve your posted content on the entire site to earn a higher reputation score to above 10% to be permitted to post articles.

It would have been awesome, but the problem with things kike this is that people tend to abuse it.

[sweerie_banana]

I miss the days when we were paid 150 FC for interesting articles. The pay is low nowadays. One has to write many articles to actually hit the jackpot.

I agree. Again, maybe a supervisor could monitor members' content and if find quality, the supervisor could send an invitation.

@OldGuy and @Fergal, I cannot find the changes from November.

Anyway, since you're calling out ForumCoin, maybe I should also call out one habit of yours that is getting on people's nerves. On a single article that you created, you reply on your own article four times in a row even if no one is replying. The replies you should get should be organically. You will only reply on your own article if someone replied before you. You know, like checkers. You will wait for your turn. But it seems like what you want to do is reply four times in a row. And some of your articles are avoided because they will never be monetized in the first place because the only categories of articles allowed by ForumCoin are technology, business and money, and self-help. I don't think recipes are counting as self-help. Like maybe food hacks can count, but not recipes. This is not the Betty Crocker forum.

So, having the ability to cook for yourself is not self-help? What if a person does not know how to cook?

[Netherrealmer]

A recipe is a recipe, self help does not focus on a single topic.

This is a self help that is food related. You notice its not a single tip and it each part is a different advice:
viewtopic.php?f=67&t=38530&p=1113280&hilit=brown+rice#p1113280

this is an example of food tips, I didnt post a single tip as an article because self help have so many sections:

Stop trying to make recipes happen
