Crack Hit hunter abuse of system: Feedback requested

The issue has been raised that there are those in this forum who are abusing the way crack hits work (ie automatically giving 5 for each post). We'd like some feedback on it to see if it is serious enough to be addressed.

Pulsar's suggestion is that we penalize folks who are replying to a thread only to get crack hits (eg subtract 100 crack hits from their total). I agree this would be effective, but who would judge when someone is replying to a thread for crack hits only? Would a one warning system suffice? 

There's also the problem of noticing/reporting/policing. I don't want it to turn into a "I'm going to tell <name> on you!" or an us vs them attitude. At the same time, most of the moderators spend comparatively little time in the forums compared to the hard core junkies. If you didn't believe I thought too much about things before, I bet you do now, huh?

Would it kill the relaxed and fun nature of the community? I've been reminded recently that many come here to simply let their proverbial hair down and chill out, maybe imbide a virtual beverage or three. I'm guessing these folks aren't going to want to worry about rules and regulations. So, please, give us your feedback.

Re: Crack Hit hunter abuse of system: Feedback requested

I do more reading than posting. At one time I had over 1,200 CHs. I "gave away" most of mine in an attempt to bribe/buy a  OJ or two. For what reason, my own. If this is wrong in your veiw, let me know. Warn me or punish me. Just communicate with me. Don't be afraid to share your views with me. I will comply, leave, for find a different way to do things.

 I have only a few experiences with different posts and blogging. THe stuff with the Community of Siglerism is my favorite. The "followers" fo the FDO *on-line at least* for the most part have impressed me with your civility*ms*. Yes I took a chance and said Junkies have proven to have manners and ethics. Brother/sister/family verbaling smaking each other around while drunk or on something else. The main reason I regularly check with my fellows Junkies, as long as one CHOOSES to be a Junkie, is the banter betwenn Gmork, Tweed, Girlco*TM*and Wolf. These three individualsand one power house group, I can relate to the most. Even though I am a guy in his thirties. Even though my only experience with them is on-line. EVen you all tallerratte my ruun on sentences and pooer grammarr and gnilleps. We should be gratifully there is a post ANYWHERE on the web this open. To hear, like, dislike, love, hate, agree, disagree, and just think something is full of crap.

 This freedom has been around virtually unchanged for over one year. From what I am told and experienced, these rarely lasts longer than two months! If the folks how designed this place of community feel its being abuse, confront the abusers. If they keep abusing this site let them go. If they stop the abuse forgive and move on. Like most hing in life, its a privlege*ms* not a right.

In my opinion, if the FDO & FEQ*FutureEvilQueen*, or who ever runs these sites feels obligated to step in. Then do so. This site is free. We do not pay for it. The artians and crafters of Siglerism work for free to entertain us. THey CHOOSE to do these for strangers. That takes guts. Willingness to take a chance for NOTHING in return. To be more than a taker. A comsumer.

Re: Crack Hit hunter abuse of system: Feedback requested
My view is that I enjoy throwing my opinion in the mix with some fellow Junkies, As I live in Australia I usually miss all the conversations so it may appear I am the big bad CH hunter.  If what I am doing is wrong get the kitchen scissors and cut off my nutts, I dont blog anywhere else, if I cant blog here I will retire my views from the electronic world

Re: Crack Hit hunter abuse of system: Feedback requested

just let people have fun. Who cares how many crack hits a junky has? It's not like you can trade them in on a new Harley. It is one of the biggest problems we face today. People telling other people what is right and how to live their lives. This is what politicians do and look how f'd up they are.

Re: Crack Hit hunter abuse of system: Feedback requested

  As far as trading in your CHs for crap, that *might* change. You never know what the FDO might have planned. He's pretty sneaky. And it's not like he'd share his evil designs with a peon like me. Although I seriously doubt it would be for something like a Harley.

Now, as far as your being poo, there are several fecal consumers over in the CH thread I believe. Either there or the GirlCo one. I'm not positive. You may enjoy their intestinal tracts a bit more than The Thread, whatever that may be. Either way, variety is good.

I thought they were good. Thread fell from the ski when an orbiting planet or moon was at its closest point. The Dragon riders would fly and burn the thread before it hit the ground. Thread is described in the series as an agent that consumes organic material at a voracious rate, including crops, animals, and any humans in its path. Nasty little threads....

 I realize they have not issued an album in bloody forever, but it *might* happen. I'm constantly surprised that the Children of Acid site is still growing.

And, yes, I must concur about the female fan base. Although that wasn't what got me into their music. I actually like the philosophical concept behind it more than anything. Plus it has a good beat ;)

Re: Crack Hit hunter abuse of system: Feedback requested

I am also from Australia, but that doesnt stop me from getting into conversations. They are just long and drawn out... and of course, I miss some of the back-and-forth banter that goes on in like a physical chat. But meh

Re: Crack Hit hunter abuse of system: Feedback requested

I don't know of and have not seen many posts that offer absolutely nothing to the conversations. I mean, what is the point, anyway? If you overtake everyone and get the top CH spot only to find that everybody hates you because you spammed... I dunno, but I can't see myself as liking that. And if people post in dead threads to get 5 CH's, who cares anyway? Maybe they will bring the thread back alive. The fact is, it would take just as much time spamming as getting actively involved, and in my humble opinion, spamming would be a lot less fun.
