I think this is a pretty simple case...any families who are interested in adding a HQ bar..then do it. Members can polish their skills as they please. If they are looking for incentives, no problem, a hand or CL could come up with some monetary, perk, credit incentive or something. Doesn't have to necessarily be XP or vision. 

I know me personally would have no problem giving incentives for posting in the HQ bar but luckily most of our people enjoy RPing but as a added bonus, RPing plays a factor in promotions amongst a wide range of other things, so on how you look at it, there IS incentive in it, it's just not given by the game itself it's given by me as a CL.

Let's consider this again. 

Seconded, I'd like to have a conversation surrounding this. As long as I've been around we've had HQ bars- which I really enjoy. I hadn't realized the lack of VIP points discourages effort around the HQ.

You got my support on this.

I don't like the idea of HQ posts counting for VIP Points simply for the fact that it's unable to be monitored by Admins with ease - the ability to copy/paste drug prices repeatedly or just spam it up for the points is too much of a deterrent for me :/ 

Agreed, I don't think we need to be getting VIP points or XP for HQ posts. As Tony said back in 2015, if a crew leader is interested in this, create the Bar and offer your own incentives for people to use it. I used to tip the writers in my family generously and send perks and other gifts if I thought they were going above and beyond to keep interactions high within the family.
