invalid Special reward paint for forum achievements

[FailArmyGT 210]

This is @KaBoomIGo's idea.

The paints given to the wiki editors, helpers, and what not are for people who work for Tanki. These new paints are for people who do not want to be a helper to get a paint (helper and forum paints are different). Plus paints are already expensive as they will ever be, so earning paints by being active and doing things on the forum would get you free paints.

PAINTS: (Each bullet point will give you a forum paint

- 1,000 likes given = Forum Liker Paint
- 1,000 likes gotten on any of your comments = Forum (can't think of name) Paint
- 500 comments given to any topic = Forum Commenter Paint
- 50 topics created = Forum Topic Paint
- 10 ideas of yours implemented into the game = Forum Idea Paint
- Active everyday for 4 weeks = Forum Daily Paint
Note: these paints are not unique and every tanker can earn them.

I strongly disagree with this one

10 ideas of yours implemented into the game = Forum Idea Paint

I don't like to face 100 more fire wasp ideas each week :P

ok. This one can be out.

Please consult with @KaBoomIGo

This is really great idea :P

But, the criteria for this paints should be really high or else it will be too easy to get them.

I forgot to add that, you get them in garage, but you have to buy them.

"That nub buyer, who has never ever even heard of Tanki Forum, doesn't deserve such paint."

About the first post, I agree on this one. I would like to have one, nonetheless. :lol:

[FailArmyGT 210]

I didn't mean to buy them in shop.

I meant that you can buy them in garage with crystals.

These paints will be avaible in garage if you follow these steps, what i wrote in the topic description.

[Maf 32,333]

"Likes given" is too easy - you just like 50 random posts every day until you get the paint.

"Likes received" can be rigged - you can like your own posts from other accounts or get a friend to like each other's posts until you two get the paint.

"500 comments" and "50 topics" won't happen as it encourages flood.

"10 ideas implemented" won't happen for the same reason why we don't give out rewards for completed ideas.

 

The only valid one is the activity reward, but even that is rather easy and doesn't take much effort. The criteria needs to be at the very least increased to a few months of activity and it would be the CMs or admin's decision to issue the paint, since we don't want to reward anyone who only goes on the forum every day to spam. It's not the amount of activity that should be rewarded, but rather the contribution of the user to our community. But even then, the forum is just a social area for players to interact with each other, so it's basically a social network. You don't get any rewards for being on Facebook all day, do you?

 

But overall I have very little hope for this idea. Special paints are never earned so easily.

[FriedPotatoes 10]

Building on this, why not attach an Achievement Paint to out garages?

 

Example: get destroyed 10,000 times and it opens up a Bullseye paint for you to purchase with crystals.

[FailArmyGT 210]

I meant it.

I don't let them get paints so easily.

These special paints will be 50-100k crystals like holiday paints.

Was that clearly?

[Drazox 665]

Nice bro you want creat a new paint for forum me too. I'm creat me too before!

50-100k crystals?! Ok you must have lost your mind!

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

I'd get most of these being the spammer i am :p

[FailArmyGT 210]

50-100k crystals?! Ok you must have lost your mind!

im not losing it yet.

I just said that its not easy to get these paints.

You need to buy them with a of crys

[gmaan 98]

Not a bad idea, but people will start spaming random topics and replies to topics to get these paints...

[FailArmyGT 210]

I already told that there is no point for spamming topics, what gets declined or locked.

[KaBoomIGo 42]

Not that many people who play the game go onto the forums. If anyone (preferably mods) see some random off topic talk, they should be able to delete the post which is -1 to the users total posts.

I was thinking about this and it would be nice to have... Achievements are currently used for nothing. I think that only the bigger achievements should give you paints.

 

This topic was more for paints for being active in the forums.

I agree that the needed likes to got a paint is a little low but keep in mind, Tanki has a like limit for every 24 hours. I like the idea where admins give out the paints to people who are very active in the forums.

 

Flooding could be solved by people (preferably mods/admins) who find people posting 10+ comments on a topic in a row and maybe merge all of the comments into one big comment. If it is something completely off topic, mods/admins could just delete the post.

Forum mods would have to decide many things like if someone is spamming or if they are a very active forum member.

 

To me the forums is just a place to express your ideas to other people and have discussions about the game. I know the

At their are topics like "Gold Boxes" where people post screenshots of them catching a gold box but that is just to show some amazing gold box catchings.

You give a very nice example.. why this can not work here.

IMHO this can only work if there is an

• automatic judgement (else you will run into hours of explaining in PMs why certain persons have not been awarded although they posted a lot)
• very fail-prove (if it fails and you have to do it manually you are in deeeeep trouble)
• and very fraud-prove way

measure to do that. And the combination of those 3 is hard to achieve, if you have to judge human generated input without additional human interaction.

 

Anything else would be literally proposing that a few real people (mods) should work a lot more in their spare time, so that other people (players) can get a paint. Voluntary work is fine, if it servers a greater good (like helping people in need, hungry ones, or to get together all the neighborhood and take care of that giant old tree that broke down during the last storm and fix the two roofs that it hit hard).

 

But here we talk about a paints (and no, that not a "greater good" if someone else want's to claim that ;))

yeah.. it's like that. Share ideas, discuss things, widen your horizon on how you  rate specific game features and changes, get tactical info and just do some fun stuff, like sharing pictures, jokes, games, experiences,.. whatever makes us human.

 

I fear it will stop to be so, if there will be a desirable reward for posting quantity over quality.

Now the earnable paint topic leader is @KaBoomIGo

I'm not a mod so I am just saying what I see...

 

Mods just go topic to topic reading comments and doing everyday mod work. I don't know how easy it is to do those special mod thing-ama-bob Magic ("Split Topic", "Under Review", etc.) but it does not look like it takes that long. Mods could just be reading comments and then see a person (player) spamming and either ban or whatever the punishment is or just merge all the comments together.

 

Quick and simple... I think ;-;

actually, they dont have free time for real life.

They are too busy with topics and mre..

[Cyborg 3,189]

Nope, these achievements are basically nothing. People will start making alts and give likes to themselves for the paints. I would rather prefer paints for 'some' achievements on the ratings page.

player A writes 5 congratulations a day and comments pictures of the day with "nice, great job" or "you look decent".

player B writes 2 helpfull posts a day, beeing an aid for new players

player C writes one truely decent article on tactics a week, and get great feedback from the community (which gives player A one thread more to place congratulations in..)

 

Noone of them spammed. Even A was not flooding, as he did increase the "social" level of the forum.

Now who deserves a reward? The guy with the most posts that just loaded the database and increases the search and loading times for us all?

 

And how shall decide on that?

There is no sharp border between "spam/flood" on one hand and "beeing social" on the other. It does not look like this:

[spam/flood]../..["beeing social"]../..[writiting usefull posts]../..[really awesome posts]

 

It looks more like this

[spam/flood]..?...?....?..["beeing social"]..?...?...............?.......[writiting usefull posts]..?....?..>> [really awesome posts]
