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.

no subject
Most points pro and con I might have mentioned have already been brought up more eloquently, however, there's one more thing I'd like to bring up.
With the option of two posts/logs with one comment each, it seems to me like there's a chance of getting more posts without necessarily getting more interaction. I dunno about encouraging the number of posts... It's not so much that we have too few posts in the game, there are always plenty of recent posts to tag. The problem's more that posts go unnoticed, especially when there is a sudden influx of posts. It's not a big issue at RC, but I feel like it's something to keep an eye on if the new AC system is implemented. People won't have more time to tag out, so with the comments spread out across a greater number of posts more posts than now might go ignored.
