I did! Well, I was 12th and al of my posts were not spam or something like that...

[Rsandee]

Big care i didn't spam that much and i'm 9th.... next time i'm aiming for the top 3..... and expect much one word posts

[spiraldoor]

It would be interesting to find out how many of these posts were "oh yh", "rofl thats true" nature.

I would like to state that, of my eighty-six-ish posts on Record Day, NONE were of said nature.

~I wonder who made the highest number of what could be regarded as 'decent' posts...

But MOST were bumps of ancient topics.

your point

That's as bad as spamming. Also, one was definitely of a spammy nature, self-acknowledgingly so, even.

no it is not

I don't recall that. If it was self-acknowledgingly "spammy", is that not better than being non-self-acknowledgingly "spammy"

~What makes you feel that you can call me out for suposedly making one single "spammy" post, on Record Day, when others made thousands?

You were boasting about the amount of non-spammy posts you made, and I wanted to clarify it. The post in question is something like this:
"I am using Record Day as an excuse to bump this topic. I will make a decent post in it sometime."

Remember, I said "SOMETHING like this".

[Acarr]

You can bump old topics on record day though.

Yes, and that thread is now thriving. What a bastard I am to do something like that.

~Would you mind specifying why that post is "self-acknowledgingly spammy"? I don't think it is.

"I will make a decent post in it sometime."
Or did you say something else?

The word I used was 'good', not 'decent'. You could easily have found this out yourself. Just because I say that I will make a good post does not mean that the post which I am currently making is "self-acknowledgingly spammy". I am currently working on writing up all my thoughts on what Rayman 4 should be; my writings are currently quite long (ten-thousand, four-hundred and fifty-five characters, if you must know), but I'm nowhere near completion. Nor was I anywhere near completion on Record Day. Hence the bump, which has already spawned three pages of interesting discussion. I rest my case

Ah, yes. You could have told us at the time though.

[Acarr]

Finally this useless argument is over.

You never know.

Just don't go there.

Anyway, has anyone put up an advertisement banner on any websites?

[spiraldoor]

Do signatures on RZ count?

[Xenon]

They did... I don't think they still should though, considering RZ's current n00b climate.

[Beebop]

That current climate has been the climate for the past 3 years nearly.

I see this topic isn't a sticky anymore, maybe we could add a link to it in the new 'Pirate-Community' topic ('all you need to know whatever'...).

[spiraldoor]

Here's an idea: grant different amounts of Tings for different posts. For example, posts in forum games such as Word To Word or The You Game should not receive as many Tings as posts in serious threads. Another idea would be to give more Tings (say, six tings per post, rather than five) to posts in the Rayman forum (to promote activity in it).

~Rough ideas; not thought-through well yet.

[Xenon]

I think that's victim to the same problem as the RayWiki idea: users will just post off-topic or useless messages in order to get bonus Tings. So, it would actually be counter-productive.

Perhaps though, Tings should not be awarded at all for forum game messages?
