looking down the list I see that a big % are grats threads again, a number that will only continue to rise when the rest of BW moves over. I know a lot of you concider it spam while another part seems to love them. what're your oppinions on them? should me allow to let them be posted, limited them, or banish them alltogether?

oh, and please keep any discussion civilized. flames will be removed :)

This kind of threads were fun, back in 2002. Back then, not many people were over rr5, and going beyond that point was quite an achievement.

It's only natural that these threads multiplied, as the server population matured. I for one, am not against them. It helps build the feeling of community, everybody's 10 minutes of fame, if you like. As for mixing the concept of SPAM with this kind of threads, maybe you're right, but spamers take advantage of any other threads out there.

I say enforce the anti-spam policy better, by 2x warning, then Ban. But let people enjoy their achievement.

Nooooo I want my grats thread when I finally ding RR 5 :p


No seriously grats threads are ok as long as they are RR 5 or upwards...

RR7 is a bit too high imo not everyone is in a rvr guild but still play well and deserve the small reward a grats thread is...

Best thing to do is to make more threads about other stuff thats more important anyway (more advice, real discussions, less whine...) to all people (pve or pvp) .

Been playing this game for over a year now and I still learn new things everyday so pass the knowledge :)

Gratz threads are a must!!

It's hard work and it's great to let people know you're happy for them and to encourage them to keep going :)

Aye, i do agree with what is said, Gratz are important. But I´d limit it for RR7 and above. (Although RR6 is way harder for a stealther than a fotm wtfpwnxDDD savage, so dunno about that, perhaps stealthers=rr6?)

yes, I agree. it became a free card to spam tho. a tollerated +1 so you will. on top of that it doesn't make the RVR forum all that interesting if 90% is grats RRX, 8 % is stealther or FOTM whine and only 2% is actually quality posting material.

it's your board tho, so that's why I put up this poll, instead of just deleting em all :p

Like people said, it's nice to see a gratz if you want to read it. If you see a thread entitled "Gratz Bob, RRx" then you can read it or not - it's up to you.

And with postcounts disabled now, and Forum titles all merged together, there isn't a need for post farming.

So - allow gratz threads - like ele said, make a single sticky under each server.

Now the "Ding XX irl" are the ones that annoy me... :D

I wasn't going that far actually.
fact is tho that the few good posts get bumped down to page 2 because of em, and thus lost to the majority that don't refresh each 5 minutes :p

so far it looks like it's heading in the RR5+ direction tho, which seems like a fair compromise...

No grats thread should be allowed below rr6.
Ban the user posting them, name and shame. :-D
J/K.. RR6 should be a limit, in my opinion.. but then again, I'm just a mere fotm shaman.

That would be nice. I don't mind a grats thread, but these things are taking over the entire RvR forum.

If we can't rid of them, I think it should be for RR7 and upwards
