I'm not going to quote them all but a lot of replies seem to put store by number of posts. I think part of where I was coming from originally was how it seemed a blunt tool. When you only have a blunt tool and you're new to the site it's difficult to make choices.
I was suggesting that some way of recording peer views of reliability seemed more appropriate. I am aware that means someone has to start modifying bits of the site which were never meant to behave in such ways. I guess the comments reaally illustrate the many different ways there are of using it, blunt though it is. I accept that peer views on reliability are also likely to seem unfair sometimes because of RL issues. I was going to put some sort of conclusion that it's a good idea despite this. I'm not so sure now though.
There are of course problems with the way some game adverts are apparently abandoned, some really are and others just appear to be because the DM only informed the people who were successful.
Either by PM or using private text, I've seen both. I really hope the new game ad system will go some way to dealing with some of these problems.
And as this thread has menaderd around I'll cover this.
The word association thread, being used to increase posting rates. Sorry, I just don,t buy it. Anyone who gave it more than two minutes thought could come up with a far more efective way than using that. (I won't post the method just in case it encourages anyone but I reckon you could manage about 600-800 posts an hour if you were half asleep).
