Shoutbox Messages Points

[Marek]

So basically my idea is when people talk in the shoutbox, let's say 25 messages, you will get 1 messages point, just like if you replied to a thread, I would have made this more in-depth but I don't really have time right now as I am going to play basketball.

i dont see the point for this?
like how would this help the community

I mean it would be a cool little thing to have don't you think?

This suggestion is decent, however it adds nothing to improve the community. There's no such thing as "postfarming" in the shoutbox so people could abuse that as well.

I suggested a few "cool additions to have" and they both got denied because it provided no good benefit to the site.

Posts without ratings enabled don't count towards post count(as far as I'm aware) so the shoutbox messages would also not be counted towards post count because there's no way to 'Rate' a shoutbox message.

I’ve seen this on other forums. It’s broken and inaccurate.

How to get people to spam SB with nonsense messages MORE.
Right now, there's little to no incentive for people to
break their
sentences into
little pieces like this
But with something like this, more and more people would start doing that, overloading the chat with spammy nonsense that could be summarized in 1 sentence easily.

A jk i'll stop, but you do have a good point that I really did not think about.

Also, this would require custom coding most likely, and it seems like the devs are pretty inactive

This image basically sums up my thoughts on that.

There is no reason to add this, it will just incentivise people to spam in the shoutbox.

Thanks, now I've got to print this off and stick it on my wall as a poster.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
