You don't conform to W3 standards? Pfft.

You can implement the arbitrary rewards/elitism without removing minerals. Minerals allow games like Raffle and Magic Boxes to function. You want those gone?

We conformed to W3 standards when we first opened. That has since been swallowed up by time.

There are, of course, other options for the mineral system. My choice is the simplest to implement and most difficult to fuck up.

So basically, you're saying that mods, admins, ect. should give minerals instead of members performing specific tasks to collect them? That actually sounds like it would work.

Well, I love all of the designs of SEN and they are way too diferent that someone can say "all designs sucks".

I think a method such as the one posted below this sentance, would be a good improvement to SEN:
If somebody does something that any mod or admin, finds worthy of a reward, they are able to award that person with minerals, without dipleeting the mod/admin's. example: Key: 1=guy with question 2=guy who answered question 3=moderator

1 made a thread with a question. 2 made a post on that thread that makes 1 truely understand his question. 3 looks at 1's thread and sees what 2 did, so 3 rewards 2 with BLK minerals.

I gotta say, I think SEN did a helluva lot better when people were forced to post to get different colored names. I fully endorse this idea.

This is all I see in that post. Halp

DM, get some self control. That's all you need, and you can easily refrain from acting like a btard.

Just stumbled upon this thread. Any of it actually being worked on?

If you need help, see my new pole in null...

Yes, it is being worked on.

While I do love you, Shocko, I won't look at your pole because I'm not that kind of moose.

I truly DO miss the minerals. Why can't we have them back?

In my opinion it's much better that they are gone.
New registered users (and idiots) won't stop asking how you gain minerals because they want a special item from the store and when someone told them "by posting in the forums" they will start spaming (just like I did ages ago) -> hard / to much work for moderators / admins -> more users gets banned.
(darn am I happy that they didn't ban me)

I meant poll (obviously )

Don't bring back minerals, I like this system better.

You want something? Be active. Contribute. Everyone will get what they deserve.

Less Nullers getting rewards for nonproductive posting always sounds good to me.

Done?

You could always just get no minerals for posting in Null and the other non-sc related forums.

I think that these should be worked on next:

Expanded Melee Section.
Expanded SC2 Coverage.

Especially the 2nd.
