can we just get FC for good posts?

Postby MysticMoons » 26 Sep 2020, 22:06

I think it would be better to pay direct FC to good posters. Who make good replies and new topics.
I don't want a reputation point that will only be used to enter a contest. To be honest I am to lazy
to even enter into a contest or find that thread. Maybe if we get a rep point
we get 2 FC paid also? or really good posts can get 5 or 10 FC bonus.
What do you think? I think this will be real motivation to make good posts
and improve content on here.

The way you describe it just wouldn’t work. Reputation points are given out so inconsistent across the board that unless we highly regulate and monitor them and all posts closely every day, it will just be a mess.

The major issue is that some users give out reputation to friends or to anyone that agrees with them or replies to them or in their topic no matter about the quality of the post. It means that sometimes users could earn a lot per posts for just being friends or having a secret reputation exchange going on. Also some good posts end up getting no rep points or maybe only 1 where as lower quality posts nearby have a lot more.

Basically it would not be fair and will just encourage abuse in a greater scale than ever. People never use things as intended when money is involved.

But who can decide what is "good and helpful" and what it isn't? Like CyberFreak said, getting a +1 reputation point doesn't necessarily mean the post was a "good" post.

Yeah, I 100% agree with this.

I remember when I was on a Q&A site and people who asked a question would get to vote "best answer" but it really wasn't done fairly because quite often some would vote an answer as the best because they liked that person and it could be seen quite clearly by all that it was not the best. It caused some resentment amongst members at times.

Also if we were given coins every time a reputation point was given out people would be giving them out all over the place whether they were deserved or not in the hope that person would return the favour. It would cost ForumCoin a fortune!

Well what I mean is maybe if the admins and mods give rep points?
or is a mod thinks a post is really good they can suggest its gets a 10FC
or 5FC bonus? I dont mean we get FC for user rep points.
But maybe if admins and mods think posts are really good they can get a reward ?
Just a suggestion. I suppose even us as users can donate.
One time I surprised Fergus with a nice donation when he helped me with a question..

I think he means the one that OldGuy used to run. Every time we got a rep point we would enter it on the contest thread and he would do a draw after a few weeks and the person whose name was drawn would win coins.

FC awards coins fairly. I like the idea of Contests or Posting your ad to win a million. Stuff like that!

That is definitely a good idea :thumbup:
I am back to the site after a long break due to some offline obligations. I am not aware of contests over here and how we can use our reputation points to be in the contest.
The idea that you have might face some implementation issues like deciding over a good post might be a tough thing. Everyone has a different opinion about good and bad. So how to reach to a fair conclusion?? Maybe we can have a group of few users who are old here, experienced and have a good credibility can form a group and be assigned that work. But then we need people who are willing to do that.

I think the same as you do, earn high FC base on quality post. Not entering into context when reputation points is high.

I agree with you. I like the Reputation Points. I like awarding them I mean, But I don't have to have them. However I do like that people appreciate my responses. It's encouraging.

I never liked those sites that rated for "Best Answer". Somehow I felt like they were rigged. They probably weren't. It just felt that way. I have a suspicious mind. :lol:

Good post or a bad post is relative. What is a good post to you may not be a good post to me or to Admin or the moderator. When I get a reputation point it puts a spring in my fingers and I post more :lol:
