Mod Announcement
Hi there folks!
We'd like to come to you with a proposal to make a change in the activity check guidelines. Don't panic! This is by no means something that will happen, only what might happen if it's met with general approval by the game's players.
Up until now, the activity checks have required either a thread of fifteen comments total, or a log/post with fifteen comments total within it.
Double activity has either been one thread of thirty comments, two threads with fifteen comments, a log/post with thirty comments, or two logs/posts with fifteen comments.
What we are proposing is as follows:
1. Two posts/logs with at least one comment
2. One post/log with at least one comment plus a thread of ten (10) comments total
3. Two threads with fifteen (15) comments overall [To clarify, this is fifteen comments total, we're not going to suddenly ask for thirty!]
Double activity would then be:
As stated previously, this is not a certain change, and we're bringing this to you before we consider implementing it so that we can answer your questions, hear your concerns, and if it's shown that this isn't going to work, the proposal won't go any further and the activity check guidelines will remain as they are! If there's a good amount of discussion both ways, the decision may be put to a poll, which will be posted using one of the moderator's paid accounts.
Please keep all discussion in this post polite, and if you have a question which you think we may not see, please indicate in the subject line of your comment! Anon is enabled so that everyone feels free to say what's on their mind, but be aware that if this is abused we will withdraw anon commenting.
Thank you for your attention!
The RC Mods.

3. Twenty five (25) comments total spread over two to four threads.

Everyone on my timeline talks about how they need to code threadtrackers, or hate taking care of threadtracking posts, yatta ya. But here's the thing.
Dreamwidth already provides you with a threadtracker that requires minimum maintenance: memories. If you really wanted to code a tracking post, kudos, but using the memories function would make your work easier regardless of whether you do or not. All you have to do is create a category for Ruby City (or more, depending on how you want to organize them) and then heart the post. Keeps everything nice and in order of when it was posted/when you tagged it, instead of having to remember specific dates or dig through your character tags.
It'd make point keeping a lot easier, on top of having a handy-dandy go-to for when you need to find activity for your activity checks.

IN OTHER WORDS, you absolutely have a point there, because this would be a real timesaver. It looks neat, it doesn't require coding skills (and doesn't need to be altered to begin with), and as you said, it'd even be handy for normal AC.
So basically, you win this thread.
