Low Quality Content..

[Peter L]

I agree with you. The feather invites bumping, which annoys the long term users. It should be replaced with more exciting competitions, it will get and keep members then, rather than so many taking the feather and running.
Not sure what will be done though, it feels like the site has been abandoned with regards to administrator activity. I'd love to help out and get things moving, but it's not my job.

I would not contest to you being an admin to get tihngs moving while Omni is busy (or whatever the reason is).

Yes Support Forums gains a fair bit of activity from Hack Forums however without it Support Forums would be pretty much be an inactive forum. The support feather is used as a incentive for members to join and help the popularity of Support Forums increase. I have seen many members on Hackforums refused the support feather due to low quality posts so it does have its boundaries.

In addition to this you also have to remember that you will always have your high and low quality members this has been the same since forums existed. Best thing we can do is continue to post high quality posts and let the authority deal with the other low quality members.

H-boy that is how it is supposed to work. The ratio is too great in the case. The ratio of spammers to HQ member. You have good members, than you have flamers, spammers, bots, support feather seekers, and people asking about HF being down. You can see the separation.

I honestly think Solidus and Skill can "handle" reports, bots, and spammers for the most part...but they simply cannot make people high quality or delete many pointless threads per day in order to make it work. The hole is just getting deeper on here.

I just say that maybe Support Forums was just an add-on, just to get the Support Feather. There's not much done here. We have nothing. We only have like 3-4 groups, unlike HF where it has tons of active groups. We have a few awards where rarely anyone gets an award, unlike HF where they have tons of awards.

Let me ask you this. So, why can't they have the "Hack Feather" so we can go onto Hack Forums and get that? It should balance each other out.

So. Omnicient if you do read this post. What are you going to do?

That is just completely silly. The support feather was too give SF a boost of traffic to get it off the ground..how would it benefit Hack Forums at all? It wouldn't balance anything out. Obviously not much is done, which is why I'm making this thread,
