A Problem caused by the FUNK points system

[Tjeff148]

*meant     also why remove funk points?

[Rij11]

There are some good points there,

Better moderating is needed, but I don’t see any spamming on the website.

Like is there any photos of spamming? I see spamming as posting lots and lots and lots of useless comments over and over.

There was one user who spammed a lot. He’s banned now tho.

FUNK in the forums was initially designed as way to encourage people to use the site, but I agree it has led to some #SPAM4FUNK.

To try and boost the quality of discussion in the forums, I’ll be bringing in the following thingos:

• The leaderboard has been removed, to make it less of a “competition”
• Going to look at ways to feature interesting topics people post in the forums (maybe make them sticky posts)
• Will look at promoting forums and interesting topics more on YouTube, Twitter, etc.
• Continual spammers will have extra FUNK deducted

Also, future possibilities:

• Lower the max amount of FUNK you can earn per day
• Hiding FUNK scores from one another (as a last’ish resort)

We can do it. Lets flatten the curve of spam by posting quality, interesting conversations!

Stay FUNKY

So this is what started it all?

I think so, however the removal of the [REDACTED] wasn’t my intention, as I was going for better moderation instead, and it didn’t even came across my head to suggest such removal. Speaking of removal, I’m thinking of doing something counterintuitive. You’ll see.
