I love this place, so I hope you guys can "solve" this, or what you want to call it. Heck, I hope you can give us unlimited paying posts, but I realize the spam that would cause.

[Fergal]

Thansk for the feedback loudawg, we will consider that for next time.

MadMike, yes I hope we can increase the limit again in the future.

Well done, Masterminor we like to give priority to our highly esteemed members

[Masterminor]

Esteemed huh? I feel important I could not have done that much, though I'll have to contribute a lot more if you're gonna be so nice The limit has not been much of an issue for me thus far, as where I am by the time I get online there's only a few hours before the reset anyways. This is honestly one of if not my favorite forum, this is the only forum I've been on where I have yet to be cyber-bullied or discriminated against for my age.

Hi, we have changed the limit of the number of posts you can earn ForumCoin from to 17. I do apologise for this, but it really was a necessary change. We have started looking at other ways to increase the revenue on the forum and we may increase the limit again, once we have done that and got them working for us.

Thanks for understanding!

Thats fine by me, i think my top score is 15 posts in one day

[shahzebayub]

No problem mate, forum is for us and we are for forum so nothing issues

[Sam]

I really hope some more ads are introduced ASAP/ anything else that can increase revenue for forumcoin. Members really need to know what rates/ post limit can actually be covered by ad revenue.

[Fergal]

Thanks Everyone.

@Sam, yes thank you, we plan on adding more ad slots before the end of this month.

I must fall into the same OCD category as masterminor - 17 bothers me. Why not 15 or 20? It seems so random.

[loudawg]

Ok so you would rather it was 15 then 17? two less chances of earning?

See I prefer when I see numbers like this. It shows me that the person has thought it about it rather than plucking a number out the air that will be good to the eye.

The limit was changed for a reason and while fergal could have lowered it more hes choose the best amount for him and us users.

[halcyon220]

No worries

Thanks for continuing to run ForumCoin Fergal & CyberFreak

[CyberFreak]

Hi,

I understand the OCD concerns about the number. It would be nice to only deal with intervals of 5 or 10 posts however when there is such a low limit a few posts difference can make alot of difference to users. Increasing it to 20 will not be good for us and will probably result in a drop to 15 at some point. Dropping it to 15 now would be good for us but will limit users a bit more then we would like and as loudawg mentioned, I am sure alot of users here would prefer to be able to earn from an extra couple of posts daily.

It is a careful balance between keeping the forum financially stable and keeping the rewards for members as good as possible. Unfortunately it does sometimes mean that we have to not be so OCD in terms of numbers etc to keep an ideal balance between the 2.

If alot of users feel that the random looking numbers are annoying then in future we can try and round them up or down although it may limit users earnings somewhat.

I have two questions: First, do adblockers cause any problems? Do people need to turn it off when entering this site to help with revenue?

Secondly: Is it possible to limit new members (or posters who might be "on probation") to 10 posts until they prove themselves, and allow members in good standing to keep the 25 posts per day, or something like that? I guess it's just easier for everyone to have the same number, which does make sense. The number itself doesn't bother me. No OCD here. I just feel a little put out sometimes when I see people making bogus little posts, and they are rewarded the same (and allowed to make as many posts) as the people who are trying to do a good job...

Just some thoughts. Thanks.

First, do adblockers cause any problems? Do people need to turn it off when entering this site to help with revenue?

It'd be great if you could turn your adblocker off as it leads to more impressions/ views on ads. While a lot of people who use adblock swear they never click ads anyway, I highly doubt that. On the sites I've whitelisted (including ForumCoin) I will sometimes find an ad that interests me and click through.

Secondly: Is it possible to limit new members (or posters who might be "on probation") to 10 posts until they prove themselves, and allow members in good standing to keep the 25 posts per day, or something like that?

Seems like a great idea. I suggested a premium membership (where the account has to be in good standing) but any option for HQ posters to have a higher/no limit would be good.

[CorruptedTycho]

Why is it now 17 posts?

[CyberFreak]

Read the last 16 or 17 posts above yours... they are about this change.

I think 17 is good as well. 25 was better, however we can ´t ruin the owner and I prefer long-term board than ruin it and leave.

[Hugop]

I prefer 17posts limit and knowing that this website stays alive than 25posts and knowing that we are the could that this website dies soon.

[Masterminor]

I wonder, are Fergal and Cyberfreak given the same limitations? I don't think it's fair otherwise.

[CyberFreak]

Yes we are although I don't think we get anywhere near them though. Personally I would find it hard to even post close to 17 quality posts everyday

[Masterminor]

I actually did hit the limit yesterday. Heck this post right here will be the 12th today. I think 17 is truly too restrictive, especially as new members come, which will bring new information to discuss about. meaning more posting. Most even good posting. I get there would be spam but being too restrictive punishes the people who make quality posts. I don't understand why people spam post anyways. In the long run it's so much more work with all the moderation. It's like my science teacher from freshmen year used to say, "Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing."
