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:

1. Three posts/logs with at least one comment
2. Two posts/logs with at least one comment plus a thread of ten (10) comments total OR one post/log with two threads of at least fifteen (15) comments overall.
3. Twenty five (25) comments total spread over two to four threads.

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.

I like the new activity guidelines. They don't require any more volume than the existing guidelines and they would encourage people to tag out/spread out their CR, if only a little bit -- and it does so without upping the actual number of comments, with the exception of those who choose to stick to comments rather than post.

Just to clarify, I'm assuming that all of the comment counts are still the total number of comments between both/all characters involved in the thread, not just the character belonging to the player in question?

That's correct!
