Perhaps it's been suggested before, forgive me if that be the case. How about a way to track how many "points" you have in the streets? Even if it were trimmed down to just the top 5 posters list shows how many individual points each person has adding to the total amount by district. Another way to make posts more 'competitive' so to speak and could potentially increase activity?

Just a thought :)

Ah, I see. So RP points granted aren't based on an automated system but rather read by administration and "judged" so to speak?

I have to agree with Squishy. There's already way too much crap being posted just to be posted. This would just encourage more nonsense. (I, myself, could be guilty of said nonsense, as I just don't see enough to get super involved)

But...when you first posted this, that was the first thought that crossed my mind, the second was: Without revealing the math, how plausible would it be for the player base to be able to vote on a particular post, much like tipping, but instead up votes gain X% increase to a max gain, just for the sake of numbers, say, 1% on top of what a normal post would bring , while down votes lose X% until 0 increase for spam stuff?

The con I think of off the top of my head would be the clique nature, folks just +1'ing because a friend posted, be it well written or not.

No, yeah, after hearing this explained I definitely agree with Squishy as well. 

Appreciate you listening though! :)

My first thought when reading this is that we've already got a display showing the top posters and the points a district has? Sure, it's the points shared between the VIP posters of a whole district, but the numbers are there - as well as a league table comparing all of the cities current post standings. I guess someone could set up and eventually figure out the points system if they stayed as a single member crew, but I don't imagine that's likely to happen. I don't think I'd care for anymore information about the posting system than is already there.

Forgive my ignorance, but could I not figure out the math in the same way using the current scoring system? If I were to go into a district by myself and control who posts what when, I could start reverse working the math, no? 

Dexter, that's what I meant when I said:

"I guess someone could set up and eventually figure out the points system if they stayed as a single member crew"

So either you're not alone in your ignorance, or one would assume it is achievable. I imagine it'd be simpler to set up a one member crew though, then you'd be the top poster regardless, and you'd see how many points you get for a specific post and how the points system rewards specific things like views.

With a bit of effort, I'm sure you could figure out the reward per character and the degradation rate. I doubt it'd be a quick job though. You'd almost certainly be gunned down before you could figure it out as well.

Aye, I agree with you -- that wasn't in response to you :)

I do agree that I wouldn't want to know more than we know currently...but I also just don't see the weight of the argument "we don't want to figure out the math" when we already can, I guess.

I'm just rambling. Don't mind me.
