Yeah, spamming takes efforts, efforts which will be wasted when we move things back to MoS where you post count goes back down. So why do it?

For example, the thread of any lv59 players here? started off on topic, but my post (third one down, yes, it's my fault) went off topic. It just snowballed from there.

And what the hell, Premium Users made everyone post a lot more.... spam. >_>


That would be hard, because everyone has a different standard of "maturity" and people will start whining why some are seen more mature than others.

Premium User is just a little feature to encourage people posting, I guess, but I never expected it to effect everyone that much.

Well maturity isnt hard to really define... its just not flaming other members and being respectful overall. After that nothing else really matters... maybe maturity is a bad word for it, but ya know. And I knew that it would make people spam... I've seen it on other forums, its beyond crazy. People spam to get ranks cuz ranks make people freak out.

Not flaming and being respectful is something every member should be doing, though. Shouldn't be something that needs to be rewarded for.
