I also think there is too much emphasis on real pictures in reports being rewarded versus real information.
In fact, the forum is a little skewed that way, as SEAJ puts it, the only reason why newbies post is to get karmas, and it's easier to attain this if you have pictures. This is so true, and it's also a little warped.
A healthy forum encourages sharing information, opinions, insights, whatever. The way the system works here places too much emphasis on pictures imho. The reward system is also skewed towards you behind in a certain group, you'll get more karmas if you make lots of friends that are high level, since there are the only ones able to give karma. Self perpetuating cycle.
Sometimes this forum reminds me of those old pirate sites with the ul/dl ratios. You'd think we're sharing torrents here.
I'm not complaining, since I don't really care about my access level, but that is how it works around here, for better or worse. | |
