Aerith's Knight - Immune from staff voting

In task three we're going to expand on the importance of being active and also add a new element that is important for any Cid's Knight: vigilance. You may stumble upon some spam, or maybe some flaming. You may see a new member and think, hmm... that person seems familiar, or maybe too "with it" to really be new... You may see an old thread bumped. In each of these cases you will need to be able to decide what is trash and what can pass.

And so for task three you will:
Part 1:
Make at least 50 quality posts. Each of these posts, in order to help you insure they are of substance, have contain at least twelve words in order to be counted. Posts in Wonder Square and Frocobo Stables will not be counted and may be less than twelve words.

Part 2:
You may report posts (using the "warn" button) by others you think are not quality posts. If you do this you will receive points.
:ichigo: A poor quality post by a regular member is worth one point.
:ichigo: A poor quality post by a site staff member is worth two points.
:ichigo: A poor quality post by a forums staff member is worth four points.
:ichigo: A poor quality post by an active contestant during this task is worth five points.


Posts in Wonder Square may only be reported if the offense is necroposting or flaming.
Reporting posts made before March 21st will not get you any points.

If you get six points you get immunity from being voted off by staff for this round.
That means you cannot be eliminated by us, mm'kay.
You can still be eliminated the other ways though.


Note: "Poor quality" in this case means something that is worthy of being deleted, snipped, warned, or closed, not just something that's kind of spammy but going to be left alone.


Part 3:
If one of your posts during this time is deemed poor quality by another contestant or is less than twelve words, you will be eliminated.

Part 4:
If you report three posts that are deemed legit it shows your jugement is too poor to be a CK and you will be eliminated.

Three people will be eliminated in this round. That means that, even if everyone makes the deadline, you currently have a 20% chance of being eliminated. Unless you get immunity. It's fairly likely that the people with the three lowest amount of posts will get eliminated, even if you make the fifty. Doing the bare minimum gets you a C-, you know.

You have 24 hours from now to complete this task. GO!

In the lower forums we allow revivals if something significant is added to the conversation. If not, it is considered necroposting after a month of the thread being dead.

Use your jugement to determine whether the post is useful or not.

Aerith's Knight

Posts in Frocobo Stables don't count. That's too easy.

If you make a post less than twelve words and can edit and fix it before someone reports it you're in the clear. If they report it you're screwed 'cause even if I'm AFK I get reported posts sent to my phone. ;)

That was difficult to keep up with! Let me know if I've made any errors. I'm on break.

I just like to throw out a personal opinion on the topic of bumping. If the thread difference in posts is one that is capable to be seen on the first page of the forum default # of pages in sub forum, I don't think it should count. This sets up so threads in something like the FF Tactics forum needs to have not had a post in like, a year (in the FFIII forum even more than that!) however, in the more posted in forums (FFVIII) it needs to be just a few months, and in very busy sections like Wonder Square and General Chat, a month is usually sufficient to be a "bump" or "necro post".

Jessweeee♪
03-24-2010, 12:15 AM
Nah, I like the standard one month-ish rule. It's like someone said in feedback once, reviving an old thread is like hearing a bunch of people talk in a room, then going in that room and saying something relevant to the conversation after everyone's already left. You're standing alone in a room talking to yourself. In the less popular forums such as Compilation of FFVII, the room is very rarely used is all. The concept is the same!

Aerith's Knight
03-24-2010, 12:20 AM
I don't know what you two are worrying about. You already have immunity. Let us lowly competitors work that out. :p

Goldenboko
03-24-2010, 12:21 AM
...In that case, posting in almost any thread in the FFIII forum is considered bumping. Sure, you shouldn't be posting in threads at the bottom of the page (or the middle of the pack there for that matter) in the FFIII could be bumping, but closing the thread is really necessary in a forum like that, if it promotes even the teeniest bit of activity there, good! I was exaggerating when commenting about posting in year-old threads, but there's a point where lack of activity should allow 3, or 4 months to slide. A little visual, This is the ninth thread (http://forums.eyesonff.com/final-fantasy-iii/128237-seriously.html) in that forum, even less before round 2's threadfest, and it's 4 months old.

EDIT: We're just discussing interpretations of the rules AK. :)

Use your jugement to determine whether the post is useful or not.

Not to mention this has already been addressed. Mostly, because I asked the same thing. And here they say I didn't read enough posts.

03-24-2010, 12:24 AM
I will concede that making a new thread when there is one on the page that isn't very far down looks odd.

Shlup
03-24-2010, 12:30 AM
Doing dishes with my phone on the counter, seeing all the little reported posts pop up... I giggled.

Anyway, the rule isn't black and white. Sometimes a necropost is deemed valid. Use your judgment.

ANYWAY

Aeirith's Knight digs up another Baloki necropost (http://forums.eyesonff.com/wonder-square/129680-another-newb.html#post2809177).

I've turned up late so I've decided to skip at least one class. Because deep down I am a rebellious student who always hated the man. No but seriously, lecturers will eat you if you walk in late. Particularly my economics one. So here I am, trying to boost my total above 50 hopefully!

Ugh I want sleep. I only have like 7 or 8 more posts left to do but I feel like i'm running dry on threads since I posted in almost every new thread that was created in round two before this round came about. I'll just wait and finish those ones tomorrow, maybe there will be more to post about.

I have a laptop. I bought it yesterday and I haven't been able to set it all up because I've been asleep or in class. Also, the damn wireless doesn't reach that one lecture theatre. Or maybe two, I'm not sure.

It's only economics anyway, no big deal. I'll catch it up over the mid semester break.

I have 36 posts in public forums. If you're a man of your word, Shlup, then I should be able to come back home from track practice and squeeze in my remaining 14 right before piano lessons because this shouldn't end for another 16 hours and 37 minutes!

Good ni-morning.

Okay, let's see where we are with reported posts...

Freya caught Flying Mullet bumping (http://forums.eyesonff.com/final-fantasy-iii/128955-arc-adorable.html#post2812682). Dirty. 1 point. She now has five!

Sasensyg has declared http://forums.eyesonff.com/general-chat/130799-dna-pick-up-lines.html#post2812393 a duplicate topic, but it is more awesome and makes me lol so I deemed it legit and left it open. That's 1 strike under part four.

Momiji has busted Cuchulainn's potty mouth (http://forums.eyesonff.com/general-chat/130577-glory-cheese.html#post2812838). 1 point.

Freya has attempted to bust someone's dirty mouth too, but with the censor I deem it legit. That's a strike and she is still short a point for immunity.

We currently have six contestants up for elimination, with three moving on to the next round to join Jessweeee♪, Goldenboko, and Aerith's Knight.

The three eliminated contestants are...

Xaven, with the least amount of posts. Like I said, minimum effort is a C-.

Sagensyg - While your efforts thus far have been appreciated, the consensus seems to be that your heart isn't in it.

Rodarian - I told you you're pretty, right?

Like I said, probably gonna be the people with the least posts. The person with the most posts yesterday was Momiji. Good job!
