Postings vs Pictures...

[johndowe]

Hi there.

From my posts and the nb of pics i can D/L the limit seems to be:

Pics = (Posts/2) + 10

This as you notice does not take any other facts into account, for the moment it is consistent with my limit, but i was a good boy and did not curse anybody off, even if i sometimes felt like it.

So if you have made 10 posts your limit should be 15, but how does the reputation come into play? one member complainned that he could only D/L 5pics, not knowing how many posts he made it is impossible for me to figure out how it figures in, but if some one could give me info about # of posts Rep points (Goog or Bad, mostly bad) and pic limit, i will be able to figure out the math.

I don't know how.
What could influence the download limit?
Number of posts (following title, junior, apprentice, senior)
Posts per day.
How long someone is member.
Reputation
Referrals

I don't know my download limit (slow internet). The total number of posts (without posts in deleted threads) you see under the join date. On view profile you can see posts per day and referrals. The reputation are the green dots. I guess that you get one dot added for 100 reputation points. Another guess is that you get more points if some one with a high reputation gives you good points, than someone with very few points. I don't know how much points are added if someone gives you some. I don't know how many gave me points, can only see the last 5.

Reputations points are not given often or easily, as you can see at Member List sorted by reputation. The easiest way to get reputation is to post unseen/unposted legal (not stolen, or else unlegal) pictures or other media. I got nearly all (one time not) points for pictures.

And this was his 18. post.

And now you are able to figure out the system?

I've ( fortunately ) only just come across this Thread, and quite honestly it reads like my five year old grandson ( except where there is genuine speculation on scanty evidence as to what the download limits really are ! )
johndowe ( or whatever your name is ) - for goodness sake pipe down about the discontent stuff ! You've had your answer opinionwise on that and I would say that The Conformists carried the day without too much effort ( but with, I suspect ) a lot of patience. Frankly, for myself, I couldn't care less about the Download Limits. I'm not particularly interested in Movie Downloads, and I only occasionally swoop on a particularly-tasty single frame picture. So my needs are pretty well met.

But I do understand the need to know. Have any of you Seekers-after-Truth asked directly and privately of the Great Panjandrum himself what the entitlement bands are ? Trouble is then it sets a false incentive for qualification, one other than Forum Community Involvement. Jenae and Cocks with Beauty seem to say it just about spot on.

So how about closing this Thread and setting up another on the Entitlement question consciously excluding whingeing and whining ?

Non Conformists should be regarded as quaint Pilgrim Farters.

with you all really,

Hi there.

Dear Be_my_nude, i only stated my discontentment with the limit, i was far more interested in knowing how the linit was calculated than having to ansewer people who didn't seem to unserstand the consept of venting one's frustrations, and i felt like i had to explain why i was venting, and tried to get this thread back where i want it to go since I DID start it, to know how the limit is calculated, but it always went back to everybody focussing on the venting, but NO ONE HAS GIVEN ANY INFO ABOUT THE MATH OF THE LIMIT, WHICH IS WHY I STARTED THIS THREAD IN THE FIRST PLACE. And after all these kilobytes of little attacks i felt i should ansewer, still no info, only one has addressed this and didn't have much info, but hey he didnt attack my venting, and I DID KEEP MY COOL, I DIDN"T CURSE ANYBODY OFF EVEN IF I FELT LIKE IT, i tried to make them understand my point of vue, but they still only saw their point of view and discounted mine, what should i have done?

And another thing i'd like to add, the critique is always easyer than the art.

Yes it is you. I followed the link and it goes right to this threads

http://forum.transladyboy.com/showth...2323#post52323

which you started. I know it's you because the member #, join date, and number of posts is the same for that thread and for the post that I quoted for this.

Hi there.

I appologize, i completely forgot i posted that one i was sure i hadn't, starting this one instead a bit later.

I was wrr...

I was rawghh...

I was woyn...

Damn, i can't say it.

But seriously, i do appologize again, sorry.

I'll be nore carefull, and hopefully there won't be a next time.

But enough about the my bitching about the limit, and ansewer the question about the picture per post INCLUDING the "reputation" points, that what i want to know, LEAVE THE REST ALONE THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN WAY TOO MUCH SAID ABOUT IT AS IT IS.

It is time to look at the numbers.

Active members - 4,377

Members with 100 posts or more - 164 (3.75 % of active membership)

Members with more than
one green reputation box - 60 (1.37 % of active membership)


After looking at these numbers, I am a bit flattered that I had as many people upsize and possibly download any of the attachments I posted as I did. I was tremendously surprised to see that I, who have only been a member for a few months, was so high on the list of participating members in terms of posting and reputation.

Now this ain't my first rodeo, to use a saying popular out here in Wyoming, and I know that many organizations have a core of 10 percent of the members who do 90 % of the active work. And I know that some of the members are non-English speaking folk who are unable to post comments and may even be unable to understand much of what goes on here.

From what I have been able to surmise, this forum has been in existance a little over two years. This leads to several questions.

1. Are the above percentages an acceptable percentage of member participation?

2. Would a more generous download limit lead to increased participation?

3. Would a posting of an explanation of how the system of participation and rewards works lead to more participation? Perhaps this could be incorporated into a "Mission Statement"?

4. Does anyone else have suggestions or questions that fit into this discussion?
