Hmm, actually I think I awarded one of those...anyway, if you really want more, don't make it obvious, and simply post some really interesting stuff, write up an extremely long post with some meaning to it, or create a thread that generates tons of responses...those are probably the easiest, possible ways to get them...

So I`ll never get QP.
The reason is I don`t like write lOOOOOOng posts.
Second reason is my weak english.

Why don't you write long posts? And you do know that a lot of qp's that are awarded are for posts that aren't that long at all. They're just a paragraph or two about something that makes you think.

RMS, I disagree with your method of quality point awarding. WHo says that posts have to be long or you just have to start an interesting thread? You do know that there are literally HUNDREDS of interesting threads out there that have been forgotten over time? And it's not the thread starter that makes the thread long, it's the posters which have the ideas that generate the next 10-15 posts in the thread itself. I've seen that a lot of threads migrate in this manner, that one out of every 20 or so posts kick the whole thread back into action again and make people start thinking. These are the people who deserve quality points, not the thread starters. If that was the case, everyone would be starting up threads and nobody would be replying.

I honestly think it's a shame that you give out  a QP to someone who's honestly said nothing of worth but somehow, thanks to subsequent and far more INTERESTING posts, the thread has been kept alive. I think you need to look more carefully into what really qualifies as a Quality Post and not Good Thread Starter. The two are completely different things.

A Quality Post is an idea which in itself is thoughtful on a deeper level, and also has regard to ideas which in themselves are thoughtful. I've seen some Quality Points awarded in the most laughable of places. It saddens me when someone like Lord Woock asks what he has to do to improve his posting and the moderators are busy handing out points to people just because they started threads that went on for ages.

Deserved QP's...

*Coughs*

Whether you all like this or not I'm going to do this.
I must be truthful on this...

Those who don't enjoy this post...I can't do anything about it.
Mods...You can fire me with penalties if you like but I will comment my own QP's which I have had and have I really "deserved" them according to me.

You can say afterwards that I was boasting or you can say I'm humble guy...anyways...same for me.

(Number is how many replies the thread has)

* A morality test (21)
Hmm...I had rather long post there about the issue but I'm not sure does this qualify as QP post. I tried to keep to say something psychological but nobody really answered...I would say that post of mine isn't really perfect one and I used way too many words to say simple message.

* The Fate of Heroes III.... (29)
I was surprised that I got one from that. Last thing I was thinking when I wrote that message was quality point. I just had come back to this forum and someone said later that I had got quality from it. It's about the game issue so maybe my bonus was "deserved".

* Life after Death (48)
Hexas thread that had pretty short messages only few were really long ones. I said something poetic and got QP. I liked my own message and it was one of my messages that came very naturally from me. I didn't think before I writed it lot. I have seen some very much same kind of message before that got never any QP.

* Vote for El Diablo to come back to site (let ... (50)
Maybe I said something important about what that thread was about. Don't know...It was community issue and I consider them more important than many other issues...

* Quotes&Phrases&Sayings (65)
Succesful thread? It died too soon. I thought we could have long thread about quotes but only few people were interested and my initial message wasn't so great. It tried to answer as many quotes as possible. To increase my post account of course

* Opponents (23)
I like this thread very much. It is about different kind of opponents and I said about what my experiences were. Maybe I came up with some different perspectives that got me a point.

* Does Any One Care About the Red Stars (89)
I put lot of effort to this thread. I was little surprises as my messages weren't so greatly written but I felt good because I had done something FOR THE COMMUNITY.

* The game, and its future with its gamers. (35)
Wonderful Maximane's thread. I consider the original idea of thread very good and I thought it would lead long and meaningful discussion. It didn't however ever come to this. Altar was degerating in that point in my opinion somehow and it got only few persons to respond. Did I deserve QP? If yes I would give Maximane one too.

* Raize Towns (36)
Sometimes QP's don't come from one post but from the all replies in that thread. This thread is my favorite because that way I met Oldtimer and without that thread I wouldn't be here. I remember asking what was that "quality" that was below my avatar. Later I learned I had just posted something worth to read according to mods. Later Oldtimer got also QP from "wandering creatures" thread I liked that too. I think still that it was Oldtimer originally that came with almost all the ideas in those threads I was just "his helping hand"...
-----------------------------------------------------------
I think that QP's shouldn't come just from long threads. That is BS. Then I would understand that some of our "old" members who are now already gone would get some too?

I think to get QP should one say something really exceptional. Something new and refreshing. I think mods miss many points that keep threads "alive". They might be small messages but can be as important than the post that started the thread.

What I now propose is that...at least TWO MODS should "confirm" the bonus before it's applied. You mods can use any method to do this but I think if only one mod is giving them there is chance that those people who deserve them more never get one and those who don't get plenty. This is especially through if later there will be more mods that have been posters before.
And also we could end up having plenty of QP before we even reach HoMMIV...And we should think the live even after it...

Sorry to say this but I had feeling someone had to do it.

lol, I was kidding ..gee, and you can't even tell when I'm joking

...hmm, gotta leave soon, so I didn't exactly read all of that, but if I got the jist of it, that's really not exactly the way I award them...nor am I done...the only reason it appears to be like that, is because those are easier to spot, and I'm not yet done going through every last thread yet (not even the large ones) to give them out...oh, and by the way, I prefer to award points to posts, around the time, after it has basically died out...that way it doesn't exactly attract any unneeded attention...but if I spot an interesting thread or a true quality post amongst them, I'll award it ont he spot...
I apologize to you all...I'll be sure to stay at home all day tommorow and award QPs to everyone, by the bucketfull...

I think you guys (Sha man) analyse this a bit much

Lol

It's almost like some think there is this huge "system"  for quality points.  In my short time as "moderator" I have now given out 2 QP's and there is no rhyme or reason for it.  It's just post's that either made me think or expressed themselves very well, (for something that needed expressing). I have to say that sha man's "analysis" of his qp's is about the most anal drivel I have read on this board. Talking, helping Informing others about heroes is what this board is about I would think but of course. I like the naked girls thread too

May as well make it 3 Mods in a row

On any recent post on the Altar, if you want to know why I gave it a quality bonus, look at the post I made explaining it on the thread. Any recent thread rated 'Inspiring' probably contains a quality bonus in it somewhere as well.

As far as requiring 2 mods to make a quality bonus, I have to disagree. Why add a complication to the process? For the most part, we're on at wildly varying times. How would we ever get together on it?

The present system of moderation gives each mod an area of responsibility. And that's a good thing. It lets us get to know our areas pretty well. And that knowledge helps the 'top 2%' of posts stand tall.

I would hestitate to give a bonus to a post on one of the other forums, because I don't have that familiarity with what's been going on there. It should go without saying that I would not hesitate to penalize a serious rules breach if I were the only mod online at the time.

Is the present system inconsistent at times? Yep ..because we're only human ...well, mostly human.

The greatest inconsistency is that I've yet to feel compelled to give out a quality point...

except for one time, but the post had already gotten one from someone else.

I guess if I read 100 posts per day, I should give out two quality points every day...

...but somehow that hasn't happened.


A post has to reach out and grab me by the...

...

...collar and really get my attention if I'll give out a qp.

Maybe I'll go through and hand some out when I re-read some threads.

Also, post length shouldn't be a factor, but you gotta type at least a paragraph or two to have even said something interesting enough to get a qp.

One sentence just can't hold enough unless you're Confucious or something.

GOTCHA!

I had to make post like that to make you mods react.
Nobody of you would have answered to my post if said some other way.
Now everybody knows how you guys give QP's if that wasn't clear for everyone before.

Thank you for your answers.
Now we can continue post as usual.

(And yes I have great drive (A one or not)to get somethings clear when I search for the answer.)

People! The thing with asking what to do to get quality points was just a JOKE! The only bit of truth in there was the thing that I want to know what's so special about my quality posts! And I know how to get Quality Points. You just have to write a post that will be interesting etc. A post with tons of quality in it.

Quality points serve no practical real-world purpose if that's what you mean.

I suppose having many quality points allows you to post things like "ha ha! I have more qp than you!"

of course, a post like that would not earn you quality points.

Did I also say that you don't have any EYES in that BALD SKULL of yours to actually READ a POST?

I wonder what else you're missing in that cranium of yours...

Oh yes, and did I also say that I don't like reading posts that focus on length?

The longer the better I say....

We're talking about posts, right?

Well, you don't want a post to be any longer than it needs to get it's point across.

I mean, if a post is too long with a bunch of unnecesary length, it might not be as effective as a more concise post that gets right to the point.

I take it then that you're really ummm... short on certain aspects then Sha?

You know one thing that ALWAYS makes me laugh is when guys say 'oh no, it's not about length!'

They've just shortened themselves by about... let's just say a few inches?

No need to be sorry, I should be the one who says that. I just went back and re read from the top of the page, lol and I took your last post to be directed towards my long post where I was just trying to ask you a question.

Hey, Nickman, if you don't put in any effort, then you won't get any qp's. That's not to say that you should deliberately put in a lot of effort to get them, it just means that short 'I don't like this' sort of posts won't get much if you don't explain why, lol

So I'm sorry.
