Ah, I think you hit the nail on the head there.
I, for one, posted my comments out of ignorance, and the assumption that it is conducted here as it was/is on other forums I've seen...

Take a look at a random page in Let's Have War, which is where most of the Glade QPs have been awarded and you shall see the error of your ignorant ways

I know its not personal Stefan, and I'm not taking it that way. My only point in speaking as I am is that I can only speak for myself and not tell you how the other moderators think.
As for the posts that disagreed with mine, i was referring to RealDeal's fight for the DTT posts... and more recently Trogdors disagreeing with his thread being moved, you can read the thread here and see for yourself So I really wasn't talking about the same type of posts as you are, but just stating this has been my only experience thus far.
I also haven't the time to post now, will be on again to write more later. 
As to the RD threads, that matter is out of the world. We reached to a fair understanding.

WOW! What a response...
Hold on everyone...One at a time please! I can only deal with one reply at a time!
Oh wait, I have plenty of time because NO ONE RESPONDED TO MY IDEA! That's just great... Oh well, I guess it was foolish of me to think that an intelligent, well organized, & possibly original idea might get some attention. 
Can someone at least give me the satisfaction of knowing that my post was at least read?!

Ohh, if only we gave out QP for poss that are dripping with sarcasm lol
I did read your post, and thought it was very well thought out I was actually waiting to respond until I had more time to write, as well as think about what you said.
I really think that there isn't a need to change the way Valeriy has the board setup, perhaps we need to change how we as Mods work within the setup.
I agree with the idea of more member's input on QP, I proposed in the other thread a way to adapt to that idea within the current setup, and I do think it could work if many people participate.
As for tie breakers or what have you, the mods to discuss things together and if some of the mods in one forum don't agree -- mods from other forums will offer their opinions as well.

Thanks for getting back to me...
Pandora, thanks for letting me know that at least 1 person read my Post and that at least 1 person was thinking about it.
I feel so validated...yeah!
By the way, who should I send the bill to regarding the 3 hours it took for me to finalize that Post?! LOL!

Speaking of QPs...
I'm not sure if I care too much anymore.
Sure, I would love to get more QPs, and I wouldn't wanna lose the few ones I've already recieved, but I no longer write posts only to get QPs. I used to do that, and I've found out that it doesn't work.
So now, I just write whatever I feel like, hoping that it will contribute somewhat to the discussion.
Sure, I'd be happy to get more QPs, but I won't strive for them. "Whatever will be, will be"... As it has always been.

Conan, please don't stop posting in the Library just because you feel you won't receive QP there. Remember that QP can be given at any time, I have QP'd one post that was two years old when I found it during my cleaning. The Library is a great forum for sharing your ideas about HoMM, don't abandon it
IMHO Conan is right,people don't receive much credit for posting in the library.I took my time theese last three days and looked upon the whole content of the library and the conlusion i reached was that you have to work hard to earn a QP there.People like Wub,Angelito,Csarmi,Frank and many more who post mainly in the library or ToH have earned few Qp's compared to others who are more concearned in posting about alchool for instance.BTW in the tavern there are now 4 threads about beer(not such a big paradox,it's a tavern after all) .Still, when the mods were present in that forum(library) more often, people felt motivated to post threir strategies there, while now you can barely see a serious and interesting reply daily.That forum obviously needs to be reorganised and still the mods only settled with awarding Conan a QP for upgrading the Table of contents instead of considering that as an alarm signal.I can affirm that except for angelito's series of "How do the....work exactly?" hardly can you find a decent new thread in the library(except my thread wich is good and it will be great soon ).That alone should prouve that Conan it's not the only one that thinks this way about the appreciation sistem in that forum.So mods please don't let it die..Maybe i don't get the whole concept behind this Community, but i guess what sets it appart from others is found in this particular spot and if it dies, then things will never be the same again.This may sound pathetic, nevertheless it's the thruth.

I agree entirely.
And moreover, when I did my last update on Nov 29th in the ToC, I realized that very few new threads where created in the last 10 days. And in those that where worthy, very few indeed. I will repeat it again, I think that active moderating increases posting, not just for us QP hunters who want to get rid of the flood boringness, but that in the library, you can say what you want and do what you want. Having mods means having people that know the forum and have been there for a while and are committed to making it a better place.
That, sadly, is not the case in the Library.
I'm actually having ton's of fun in the Tavern now cause the mods rock!

Sincere gratitude...
I'm putting the sarcasm aside here (but not too far, mind you ) to express many thanks to the Moderator...unknown at this point...who found my previous Post worthy of a Quality Point! I would also like to extend that gratitude onto the QP that was awarded to Sir_Stiven, as well.
In the spirit of this Thread's discussion, I was hoping to find out if getting feedback from the Moderators about a Post found worthy of a QP, is customary. Just curious to know, also, if more of an effort is being made to do this; as I have noticed that Mods will often give a good explanantion of why they are removing a QP from a member on a specific Post?

Well when I give a QP I usually post a line or 2 in the thread saying well done to whoever I've awarded.
Usually no more than that is needed, great post - here's your star.
Most members seem to be fine with that.
Whenever I give a penalty though more explanation is needed. Penalties are given because of breaches of the CoC. So I also usually post the relevant part of the CoC that pertains to that case, and explain why their post violates it.

I really think all the mods should follow your example. It is greatly appreciated by us Noobs anyways.
Is there a way to find out who gave what stars? (Aside from the basic deduction that mod X moderates forum Y...)

not to improve anything..
But i realised that only 6 out of the 18 most QP posters does have 2% QP's or more from all their posts.
Meaning, something tells me HC is far far away from those 2% set out.
interesting?

2% of ALL posts should have a QP, not necessarily 2% of each user's posts

You can always just ask us
I usually IM people as I don't want to be spamming up the thread, but if you ever wonder if it was me send an IM!

I do know that, but if you had thought about this one step further you would realise that the ones with most QP:s are usually the ones who should have the best percents.
But please prove me wrong on this one, prove me where the ones with lesser QP:s do have a better average of QP/post rate.
As i dont think you can i stick to my questions for now and ask if the 2% QP rate standard is anywhere near being adressed?
judging from the top QP posters they seem to be around 0,5-1,5%.
And even if ste may think otherwise i doubt there are many matching those standards with lesser nr of QP.

Sir_Stiven,
How do we know what Valeriy thinks? We don't. He probably knows the exact total number of Qp's for this entire message board. He also probably knows the exact number of total posts too. It is also possible that he has a 'current Qp percentage' figure posted in the Mod Squad business forum. The fact is we don't know. The Mods might not even know. It's Valeriy's board therefore he retains full user discretion concerning this matter. He doesn't even have to tell us if he doesn't want to. It's his message board.
Some things can be argued, discussed, and changed but not this. If Valeriy wanted us to know these figures then he would have posted them a long time ago. It's his board and I knew this when I signed up to become a member. Perhaps other people have signed up thinking this was a Heroes' Community but it isn't. It's Valeriy's community for Heroes of Might and Magic fans.

How about an unmoderated forum that can only be accessed if you have 4 or more red stars?
Or 5 red stars giving you the ability to move threads between forums?

Consis, i just wanted this brought up for attention. Afterall the recommended QP percent is 2 as the FAQ says that.
Most of the members who has recieved the most QP's cant match these 2%. So then my question would be..who can?
And you are correct that this is val's msg board, but that shouldnt mean we cant discuss things that matters around the msg board now does it?
That would be a very simple way to remove any ideas of improvement as its usually discussions like this one im bringing up now that ends up with some improvement.
And i can tell you now, the day Val informs me that he has no intention whatsoever in trying to make this msg board better or that he will stop listening for ideas to improvement that will be the day when i resign.
Fortunately i think ive spoken enough with Val to know that that shouldnt be the case. He like me wants this msg board to keep becoming better, we just seem to have a different approach to things hehe
