    Lightbulb I had an idea

    How about ZB rewards for certain BZ milestones?

    Zone Awards would get you some Zb's

    Post achievements would also get you some
    1,000
    5,000
    10,000
    15,000
    20,000

    What do you guys think?
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Re: I had an idea

    So for spending countless hours posting we are going to reward them with ZB's which they already accrue through posting and having responses?

    Why the negative overtone? If they are posting more, they are contributing to the success of the Zone community.

    I'm not sure why you want to discourage members contributing more to the Zone family.

    Re: I had an idea

    What if this idea encourages DraftBoy to post even more though?

    Negative overtone? Im not sure I quite understand what your insinuating about me. I was simply pointing out to MBB that while his idea has merit he may or may not be aware of how the current ZB system works since he does not have the experience with the current inner workings of the Zone like I do. Im simply trying to help him out, why would you assume Im being negative? You guys really need to relax, its just a game you know, arent you having fun yet?

    We might as well give 24% APR for all banked ZB's as well, maybe even if you bank them at the last second on the last day of the month you can get 2% worth of the whole previous months interest.

    Re: I had an idea

    I'm dead serious. We have a mod and a key member of the LA Playa campaign using a defamatory and highly pompous term like "spending countless hours posting." Bedard for sure never alienates the scores of contributors who value their posts.

    I have much more intimate experience working with the software and I think it's a great idea. The ZB system doesn't reward milestones.

    But it does reward for each post and to the author of a thread for each reply, does it not? Also what total worth does it give you? Most things like titles and avatars are changed by admins or mods if asked for, is it being suggested that we stop giving favors to posters who ask for them now? I dont see ZB's as a huge incentive to post more.

    Part of me wants to explode in anger and reply to this nonsense, and part of me would rather see you dig yourself a deeper grave.
