@CannonFodder the thing is a couple of laughs or posts turns into 10 posts of back and forth and at the same time bravos being traded back and forth. If there weren't rewards based on community activity there would be no issue but there is and the rewards are for assisting members in need not having some laughs.
Ok, I can accept THAT - I see what you're getting at(including the part in bold, below).... we're getting bravos that may help in us gaining rewards, but NOT in the Lounge. Maybe you could have mentioned that before.....
As for having to poke fun at people not sure why that even needs to be done because they are doing something that they were asked to do when they were invited into the Oracle program.
C'mon, that's gettin' a little over sensitive.... as said before, take a chill pill and take some good natured ribbing in the manner in which it was intended. If any of us was royally pissed-off about posts getting moved to the Lounge, we'd have made a big deal out of it, instead of joking around.
Darlicious suggested that I get an extra $5 for moving threads should those that don't move threads not get the $5?
No comment, since I never said that.....
As for the way the Lounge shows up that is by design of PM as the posts and bravos in that area aren't considered when calculating rewards. They set it up that way for a reason if you are suggesting that scrolling a mouse to the bottom of the page to check the time of the last post or see if the title is bolded because of a new post is too much effort so that is why people just post in non-lounge threads is pretty weak.
Ok, I'm weak then..... it's just that any other forum I've been on, including at least one that was a business forum, have posts show up, no matter which sub-forum they're in, with the latest posts 1st. Clearly, PM doesn't want it that way, and threads in the Lounge also don't seem to be in chronological order, so some digging is involved, hence my previous joking name of "dark abyss", which you shouldn't be taking as some kind of personal insult.
If you know that is the way PM wants it why is it so hard to just have a thread that you visit when you arrive and check back on it every 5 or 10 minutes. If you want a chat group create a skype or discord group?!?! You will never miss a message because it notifies you when people post there.
C'mon, those of us that hang out here are all here for the same reasons, except some of us like havin' a couple of laughs while we're here, so your "skype or discord group" was way off-base.
It would be interesting to see if I was to poke fun at someone to see how fast I would be called out for not being a very good Oracle, or you shouldn't talk to people like that as an Oracle of the community.
I think that for something like that to happen, your "poking fun" would have to be in some really, REALLY bad taste, because from what I've seen of the regulars around here, everybody seems to be pretty laid back, and would take, and HAVE TAKEN, some good natured ribbing as exactly that - good natured.
As for your previous mention of "going to your mechanic, lawyer, bank for social interaction", I think @darlicious said it pretty well, but I'll reiterate, i.e. no, I don't go to any of those people specifically for social interaction, but you can be sure that while I'm talking to any of those people, social interaction just happens, and there's no good reason for it not to happen on the PM Community too. Quite frankly, if PM cut out any of that sort of thing, by using the Oracles to enforce it, this place would be boring, and I'd be OUTTA HERE.
