#97936 - Chat board created, karma system changed |
I have just created a general chat board. The purpose of the chat board is to provide a place for off-topic discussions among members of the 8052.com community.
The idea is that this original forum will be for 8052 discussions as always. Topics that aren't 8052-related should be posted to the new chat board. Additionally, off-topic threads in the 8052 forum may be moved to the chat forum by the moderators. Threads such as "weekend off topics" should be posted to the chat board, as should any other thread that is not 8052-related. Discussions regarding 8052.com forum moderation or 8052.com "politics" should also be handled in the new forum. The chat forum will be less strictly moderated than the 8052 forum. Those that are only interested in reading 8052 messages may do so by continuing to read this original forum. Those that are interested in participating in off-topic discussions may do so in the new forum. This is experimental for now. If we find that 90% of the messages are being posted in the off-topic forum and there is virtually no on-topic activity in the 8052 forum we may need to review the decision to create that forum. But in the meantime I hope the chat forum will provide a place for us to discuss other topics since we are a community and we all have things to share that aren't necessarily 8052-related. Additionally, the karma system has been changed. Effective immediately, no-one has a karma score. Messages may still be scored but the scoring will only effect the message being scored--it will not increase or decrease the member's karma score. We'll see how this change goes and we can modify the karma system again in the future if this change doesn't produce the desired results. I'm going to immediately close this thread. Any comments on this topic should be posted to the new chat board. Best regards, Craig Steiner 8052.com Webmaster |
