It is just a point system, not a contest. Forums has a 100 second "wait" reply anyway, hehe. Besides, it's good people will post more often :)
I don't think he's referring to spamming in the sense of posting very rapidly. I think he's referring to a now dead (and it'll stay that way ;)) practice of posting insubstantial remarks (for example: "Cool... tenchars") in a number of threads solely to increase your post count. It's a rational concern, imo, since this experience system places a lot of emphasis on post count (ie: quantity over quality).

Interesting. I kinda like it. now as long as people don't spam so they can go "Leik OMG look I'm level 5000!!!!!1111oneoneone."

I think it's kind of silly.

If you like it, so be it, though.

I don't think it adds anything important. And on other boards (especially if it's coupled with user titles)
people tend to spam more just for the sake of getting a higher rank.

The rules for spam replies are still the same.
Plus, we have means to decrease your points drastically if one tries to abuse it :p

I didn't want to spam, I just asked him why does he have such opinion about this?
Hes right though. People do the stupidest things to show off their e-wang and prove to others they have less live than the rest of the comunity.

Or are you saying its not true?

Just post as you normally do. Shouldn't be that hard.

I just don't see why have to spam. These features are merely to have some interesting on the forums, as it has been the same for many many years. Instead of spamming, you could just as post as normal. Leveling up takes a while, and I highly doubt you wish to ultra-triple-uber-duber spam like 1 zillion messages each day to gain thousands of levels. Heck, even I am only level 19.

Sky sorry to say this. But you should be less naive >.>

People want to brag ebout everything. Be it postcount or with this system levels. The amout of people who actually act normally with no "OMG IM BETR THEN U" is roughly 10% to 20% of the comunity.

Lukyas himself is one of the "I want more posts then you" whores ^^

We'll see how things goes. If it goes too far, we'll just counter-measure it or remove the system.

Weakling, you are only level 10. :p j/k

But I do somewhat agree with Grega and disagree with him at the same time. Although there will be some people who will spam/abuse/what-have-you this system. Most people are mature enough to act somewhat normal.
