Do you think it's unfair they lowered the bell count?

[Nightmares]

I find it annoying how some people get infractions for saying the same things as someone who didn't-- I don't want to make this a...mod...hate...thread....so I'll stop here, but it does seems they're playing favourites a bit.

 

[Fleshy]

(I'm not sure if we're allowed to discuss this?) but I've also never got an infraction for "joining in the argument" nor for stating my opinion, both of which I do very, very often. I don't think you'd get one unless you were being super rude or not contributing at all and just in for the argument? honestly idk but I don't have a problem with how everything works and is run here, it's actually a lot better than the vast majority of other forums I've been a part of, but I'm pretty new here, so

 

[That Zephyr Guy]

The most I've gotten was a warning from expressing my opinion, and even then the opinion I was giving was outright calling someone stupid so

Maybe you guys just get infracted so much because you're either not contributing anything to the discussion, or outright insulting people. I mean, I'm arrogant as hell but I still manage to keep myself in check enough to not get in trouble so



As for the lower bell count - I think that's to help with inflation maybe? IIRC there's been some of that in the past year or so. It doesn't matter anyway, the easiest way to earn bells isn't from posting.

Jared, we didn't lower any of the bell amounts for posting recently. The only one that was lowered was poll creation.

 

[HungryForCereal]

didnt they lower only the amount of bells you can get by posting polls? i remember that i used to be able to earn extra 7 bells if i post a poll. but honestly, its quite unfair to people like who who has really nothing to sell on this forum. posting is my only source of tbt. its already so hard to earn goddamn bells from posting alone before they decreased it.

This thread should be in Bell Tree HQ

Nightmares, it's impossible for a mod to read every post, so you can use the report button if you come across them. Infractions are not public information though, so there's no way for a non-moderator to see that anyway. Infractions and bans also depend on a member's previous warnings. For example, if someone already received a warning for something, they will likely get an infraction next. If they still fail to stop after the infraction(s), they will likely be banned. And if they come back and keep doing it, they will be banned for an even longer period of time. This is how our infraction system works at The Bell Tree.

i thought you left tbt

 

[oath2order]

Nah it's a way to stop inflation

 

[MorningStar]

As far as I'm concerned, if the only reason you're posting is for TBT, you shouldn't be on a forum. The TBT shouldn't be a bigger priority than quality posts.

[Trent the Paladin]

their rules are haywire lmao. and ambivalent af like come on why do you even have a word filter when you can go around it really easily

Ideally you shouldn't be avoiding it to begin with.

Like Jeremy has stated, not all information is public. The user may have gotten a warning or infraction, you can never tell.

 

[Jared:3]

Lol Tom thinks we actually read the rules phhtttt lol

Ideally you all should be. Ideally. I realize not all of you bother to read.

 

[Jared:3]

I hate reading, like no joke, I bore myself out real fast so no thank you, each site usually has the same rules so I don't read them

 

[ZetaFunction]

Didn't they just lower it for polls? from 5 bells to 0.3 for posting a poll? idk maybe I missed something.

Anyway, no, it's not unfair, if you rely on posting to earn bells it might take longer but honestly it isn't a big deal at all? lmao

Honestly, I rarely ever post new threads and I still earn a lot of TBT from posting, not to mention you still earn like 0.2 TBT per vote in a poll (sometimes it gives you none), so I don't see the point of making a thread over it like this. And why make polls for TBT... there's better ways to earn it lol

 

[visibleghost]

lmao i didn't know they had done this

but just write in discussion threads w/o starting or participating in flamewars and you'll get rich

 

[Corrie]

Tbh 7tbt isnt that much to get worked up about. You can earn tbt faster in other ways.

 

[Aleigh]

Wait I didn't even know they lowered it
