I am not sure if my ideas would be well received. Yet I have thought of a few measures that might help make FC better and also perhaps a better "ROI".

Revert to a maximum of 8 or 10 posts per day : May be someone might say : Hey I have 15 ideas today and you bring this 8/10 limit!! Yet I think sometimes with no limits, our tendency to post junk goes up.
Would posting junk help any of us?

Reward a very well written and composed article with extra points - at least 5 FC.
Now this could sound a bit socialistic but then I think the very ideas of Socialism and even Communism were never bad but the implementation could be faulty and this incentive could mean better articles being put out.

As a pilot and for 20 days, the Admin can manually check and ask people to desist from writing very short sentences like
"I liked it".

"That was good".

if something was enjoyable or good, then why not tell why it was so.
And well, outrightly ban "Have a Nice day" unless it is after a full paragraph.

I think you've got the right idea. I'm thinking maybe there could be a vetting process where people who post higher quality posts are vetted potentially and they can earn a better FC/Post rate? This would encourage people to post higher quality posts.

And keep in mind folks, quality does not equal word count. You can post a wall of text and it be absolute gibberish, but you can also post something profound in two sentences. Hence the manual vetting team.

[Carson20t]

The ideas are welcome and I am glad that not much of an explanation is being expressed here. The thing is that a lot of people may want to push this to the administrators but to the contrary. The major problem is the individuals ourselves. Many people do not want to add more value to the forum. All we want is to take and take.

We are not growing as individuals, partly it could be that we cannot trust each other well enough to list some small jobs that can pay someone above $50 per month. We are also not sharing blueprint methods that have a step-by-step guide on how one can level up and make a good income online.

We are also not building solid friendships that we can benefit from in various ways. A lot of people want to learn so many things but we are not actually creating that closure to express the trueness and oness.

That is why you end up finding people just commenting on what does not even make sense. "I like it", "it is amazing" etc

I heartily agree that we should return to the maximum 10 post per day limit. Over the life of FC, there have been 185 members who consistently contributed over 10 posts per day during their activity on the site. 3 out of that group managed to receive an above average reputation score with slightly above 100 posts but all the rest earned well below the average reputation score during their time on FC.

We still have four of the most prolific writers dumping in loads of junk content at well above 10 posts per day and way beyond 10,000 posts to their credit. All of those have extremely low reputation scores. They dump in commentary that rarely actually answers the topic questions and spend most of their time posting entries in contests or playing games, neither of which can possibly contribute any value to the site. Unfortunately, 7 out of the first 10 contests for 100 FCs were won by just 2 of these bozos due to their high volume of entries. Even though they only contribute junk content, they have been winning way more than the rest of us can earn in months. I personally feel the contests are an insult to most members who even try to contribute value added content.

There is no value in allowing more than 10 posts per day. It only encourages junk content as ALL previous contenders have proven without question. Even though those 4 collectively contribute nearly 50% of the daily volume of posts, it is nearly all junk content. Quantity does not equal quality.

Reward a very well written and composed article with extra points - at least 5 FC.
Now this could sound a bit socialistic but then I think the very ideas of Socialism and even Communism were never bad but the implementation could be faulty and this incentive could mean better articles being put out.

I have already discussed this idea with Fergal. Problem is, the software for the site does not offer any option for varied payment per post. Everyone is stuck at the same rate. 62.16% of all members for the life of the site have well below the overall average reputation score and the average scores fall to a lower level every single day with junk content. (7.8946% at this moment) There is no system option to adjust the pay rate based on quality content. A daily manual review would require hours of reading to find outstanding contributions. Basing any bonus on the earned reputation score for the overall content would make it far easier.

Over the entire history of FC, there have only been 92 members who actually earned a reputation score above 13%.Those few members have consistently contributed well above average quality content and have earned the positive reputation points to prove it. They most certainly deserve special recognition for their added value content.

These are the few out of all who have contributed content in the latest 30 days with a reputation score above 13%. They all deserve special consideration with added FC compensation specifically based on reputation scores:

Netherrealmer * 13.33%
Pousinha * 14.50%
bestwriter * 16.03%
Angie10 * 17.66%
oldbuddy * 18.62%
Yusra * 18.80%
dfarmer2001 * 18.87%
ptrikha21 * 19.07%
Trush Jodie * 19.55%
Masterminor * 19.74%
Fergal * 20.97%
cmoneyspinner * 21.96%
OldGuy * 52.17%
CyberFreak * 62.38%

In fact, I'd be pleased to do that myself for all except site admin and myself.

[Angie10]

Thanks so much for the recognition... much appreciated

[Carson20t]

Let us also use another approach to how we are going to encourage more members to be active on forumcoin. People are craving for value, so then how are we going to attract them to the forum. A hype is one of them and that is what the adminstrator has been trying to do. If i can follow there was a contest for above $10, then for a $1 and now $1.5. This has been proven to be a success.

This Month of june i wanted to run a small Grant contest to offer upto $500 to online entrepreneurs. On ForumRace we are offering hosting services and various services when one makes a $10 subscriptions. These are things that we need to
help people online develop from just earning petty cash. Let us help offer more value that can change people's lives then i am sure people will start seeing the value of forums.

[Masterminor]

Thank you for my FC bonus. I am humbled to be considered so valuable to the community. I often am discouraged from posting much anymore because I question what I have left to offer and don't really click around enough anymore to learn anything. But I feel a bit better now knowing more about what I contribute to the community.

I think you've got the right idea. ... vetting team.

Yes I duly concur with you. At times, I do have 10-20 minutes to post extra here but I feel like out of ideas so I stop.
No use posting junk.

I think I have managed to make some good interaction with some folks. Yet many do not respond to comments we make on their posts.
Others do not respond logically and yes, some "I like it", "It is very good" kind of comments do keep on coming up.
I think all of us can at least try to put up 2 to 3 new SEO/Crypto/Tech or other relevant posts per month to start with.
This frequency is suitable even if one misses this site for a few days or even weeks.
And of course, the Articles section is always open for good content.

--- 17 Jun 2024, 16:00 ---

Let us also use another approach to how we are going to encourage more members to be active on forumcoin. .....

At the basic, various members could try sharing ideas for improvement or even advise people not to put junk, although that could mean some arguments and displeasure.
The online grant means you are doing some Ecommerce/Internet Based work independently?

The Grant or consessional loan project for online entreprenuers did not take off, this is because i did not reach my goals to raisiing that money. But i am sure that it would kick off in the near future. I just want to contribute and help in any way to see a flock of quality online entreprenuers even if at beginner level to grow and succeed in their dreams.

[sweerie_banana]

Unfortunately I wasn't that active the previous moth, had a career shift that also went south. I hope to work on the platform better this month. All the best to those who received some compensation.
Lets contribute better content so that our earnings may increase. Ditto.

[Carson20t]

The more we have more money the more we should be active in the online ventures. This is so because we have more leverage to help us grow at a little bit more faster pace.

Yes it is true that we need to start being quality people that would contribute by adding more value to Forumcoin through threads and comments that are engaging and valuable.

[ptrikha21]

The Grant or consessional loan .....

That is a good initiative.

I suppose you are doing some work of your own. Is it fully Online, or is it partly based on something physically (A store/Shop/Outlet etc)?

--- 18 Jun 2024, 21:30 ---

Meaningful posts, meaningful replies and comments might take some time, some extra effort.
Yet believe me, once we are into a habit, we would rather enjoy it, rather than doing Rapid Fire rounds with low quality or even junk content.

[Carson20t]

We jut need a new flock of online entreprenuers who are ready to do what it takes to be successfull in the online world. Those that have been intentional have gone ahead and have become exceptional and have made it online. This is because they make a three figure or six figure. But sadly we cannot see more people doing that. That is why we see Gibberish posting even on this forum because people just want to earn but not add value.

[Cedric V]

I have much respect to Fergal, so this isn't a personal attack - but in my opinion, Forum Coin is outdated. It was founded over 10 years ago, but has never really modernized itself. It still runs on an old script, old theme, while all being classic and good, they're old.

The font is too small to read, and I need to pinch my eyes to be able to read any post here. Maybe I need glasses... But maybe Forum Coin is long overdue some improvements to bring it back to 2024.

[OldGuy]

The font is too small to read, and I need to pinch my eyes to be able to read any post here

Not arguing with your post but there is a simple answer to the size of the font. Simply press and hold down the "CTRL" key and tap the + key. Each time you tap the + key, the font size gets bigger. To return to the default size, simply hold down the CTRL key and tap 0 (the number, not the letter)

[oldbuddy]

I don't need to be paid or even recognized for higher quality, it just feels good naturally.
