Brohoofs in Cloudsdale Colosseum

[Zenit 190]

I'd like it if brohoofs do not add to your brohoof count like the posts don't add to your post account there. I don't want to have like 300 brohoofs and 40 posts i think it looks silly. 

(actually I just think that brohoofs shouldn't count in the colosseum.)

I fully support this. Posts don't count and are often of little to no merit other than something spammy or just playing around in a game. Furthermore, look at this topic. We've got people posting there just to get brohoofs; We've got people with less than 20 posts and nearly 4000 brohoofs because of stuff like that; stuff with no merit, basically.

 

 

I, for one, think that brohoofs are representative of someone agreeing with a post you made or having reason to give it a brohoof; that section, and several of the topic in it, have become almost nothing but people mining for brohoofs. While brohoofs are fine, I find it a bit unfair that people can just make nothing but pointless posts to help cure their boredom/improve their brohoof count, while the areas that require a bit more thought are treated the same way. Furthermore, post count doesn't go up, so why should brohoofs? That doesn't make any sense to me. Posts are generally of low quality over there, and post count doesn't go up. 

If post count doesn't go up, neither should brohoof count. It's only reasonable.

This, for example, deserves a brohoof.

Okay, honestly, I understand why posts shouldn't count, but why brohoofs? I swear, if this happened, at least half of my brohoofs would be gone. It's not like anybody's abusing getting brohoofs in the Colosseum. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

And if you do have 40 posts and 300 brohoofs, it's not far off from where i'm standing at like 2,500 posts and 2,700 or 3,000 brohoofs.

Let's take per example of the "Count to one million" forum game....

I know multiple users,who play on that game,with less than 200 posts,and even one with 100,that have more than 4000 brohooves.

 

Brohooves were made as "Likes",or as a way to say "I agree with what you posted".Per example,i have 1300+ posts,and 1800+ brohooves.I've won them with good posts,where I had to work to make then good and with quality.

On the Count to one milliom game,there's a user,Rising Shine,whose post number doesn't surpass the 500,but his brohooves are over 4000.

I don't say the Brohoof pption on Cloudsdale Coliseum becomes disabled,but put some kind of limit,because seeing that number of brohooves on users with less than 100 posts makes me feel bad,because my brohooves have been won with work,but theirs have been just won without any reason at all..

 

My idea is to put a limit of brohooves on Cloudsdale Colliseum.Is that a good or a bad idea?

This,per example,is a good post,who deserved a brohoof :3

[Arylett Charnoa 4,919]

Why not just remove brohoof count to begin with? This problem is resolved, nobody feels bad about having low brohoof count, and nobody feels like lording it over others that they have loads of brohoofs. Then we can have people brohoof things just to be silly and fun, and because they like it/think it's amusing. Is that not the reason the button exists? It doesn't have to be such serious business.

@,

 

I would normally agree with you, heck if you remove the green brohoof counter i'll be fine, but I do wish to know how many brohoofs I have been given. It's just a stat, and i'm trying my best to not sound like an ass by saying this, but just getting brohoofs and not knowing just how many I have would lose a bit of the fun of brohoofs to me. Again, trying not to sound like an asshole.

 

About the 'lording it over others', I've been on this forum since 2012 and not once have I seen anyone 'lording it over others' or just bragging about it. But maybe I missed a few people, I dunno.

This entire topic. Look at the people who have posted in it the most and their brohoof to post ratio.

 

I wouldn't even be agreeing with this sentiment if it wasn't for the "Count to a Million" game - where people have gotten thousands of brohoofs just for putting down a number and saying a pointless, chatty sentence, and the latter of the two doesn't always apply.

 

Brohoofs are something that should be earned, quite frankly - something that comes from a quality post, or at least a post you like. When you've got people putting down a few digits of a number and getting thousands and thousands of brohoofs for it, it isn't fair to anyone, especially the ones who get their brohoofs from doing stuff besides putting down a number. 

 

I know one person who posts there almost exclusively has 18 posts and nearly 4,000 brohoofs. Is that very fair? People are abusing the ability for brohoofs in that game, it's obvious, and that's something that isn't very fair to the people who make quality posts, or, hell, at least humorous ones. It's obnoxious to the people who actually put forth an effort to get brohoofs that all people are doing is, again, putting down a number and getting a shitton of brohoofs for it.

 

Brohoofs should be earned, not given all willy-nilly like that.

That topic is a shame for those who worked on their posts,and,therefore,their brohoofs.

 

I'm not talking about a "Popularity Contest" on this forums,but when you're a user with 1800+ brohoofs,earned with a good quality on my posts,you can feel a bit offended when you see,like Ghostie said,an user with 18 posts,but with 4000+ brohoofs.

 

I've made the experiment of posting on that topic a few weeks ago,to see how it worked,and the result was...curious...

My post was:

34418

 

Hi! :3

On the first 5 minutes,i've received 3-4 brohoofs,with one sensless post,that just had a number and a gretting on it.

 

As I said before,i'm not molest for the possibility of receiving brohooves on Cloudsdale Colliseum,but there's a limit between that,and having 4000 brohooves with 18 posts.

 

It should be a limit of brohooves on Cloudsdale Colliseum,or,like that Post Count doesn't increase,it shouldn't increase the brohoof cointer neither

[Sir Hugsalot 9,351]

Brace Yourself. My Brohoof count is gonna drop for about... 1000 points? XD Ok, but seriously I approve of this idea. Cloudsdale Colessuem is place for super random posts and silly forum games. My brohoof count would drop greatly but at least I'd know how many brohoofs I get for actual posts, not some silly spam that happens frequently in Colessuem. 

[Guest90210 3,568]

This is pointless. You might as well remove the brohoof count all together if you're going to pick-and-chose which ones are "real" brohoofs or not. Either remove the counter all together or keep it the way it is.

 

There are tons of quality posts in that section of the forum. Making those contributions become obsolete doesn't make any sense. And I can brohoof anything I want. I decide if its, to me, worthy of brohoofing. Just because you don't think it's worthy of a brohoof doesn't mean I don't. I see people "fishing for brohoofs" in all sections of the site, not just the Colluseum, so if you really want to solve that "problem", then remove the brohoof counter completely. Or as I said, just keep it the way it is now.

This is pointless.

 

Making suggestions to improve the site is not "pointless" - you yourself did just that several times in this blog by disagreeing with the option to ignore the kind of topics in question and saying we shouldn't allow the sort of topics because they "promote elitism."

 

Good things can come of making suggestions that can potentially lead to a better community - saying that they're "pointless" is like saying you don't want this place to improve.

You might as well remove the brohoof count all together if you're going to pick-and-chose which ones are "real" brohoofs or not.

 

I did not once claim that the brohoofs one receives in the forum games were not "real" - in fact, them being real is the problem. Post count doesn't go up there because of the nature of the posts you find there - why should they count when posts don't count because of the stuff that's being posted?

 

Furthermore, straight up removing the brohoof counter because of this reason is illogical and a bit unreasonable - just because brohoofs won't count in a certain section of the forums that's designated for low-quality posts and games you should get rid of them all together? I don't understand why we should do that to the sections with things like quality control and a character limit just because we can't get brohoofs in the sections with little to no quality/discussion.

 

There are tons of quality posts in that section of the forum. Making those contributions become obsolete doesn't make any sense. 

 

That's actually the designated forum section for posts that aren't of any quality - there's no character limit, and it's mostly games and spammy-yet-humorous type topics. It exists for the low quality posts, and that's why post count doesn't go up there. They're already obsolete when it comes to post count. 

I see people "fishing for brohoofs" in all sections of the site, not just the Colluseum

 

And there's a character limit and a degree of quality-control that forces some thought and effort in those sections - something that doesn't exist in the Cloudsdale Colosseum. If people are "fishing for brohoofs" in other sections, they at least have to put thought into it in order to meet the character limit, and their post count will go up as well - one of the major problems with the Colosseum is that posts don't go up and there's hardly any to no forms of quality control and you don't have a character minimum to meet. In the other sections of the site, all of those things are in place - posts count, the moderation isn't as loose, and you have to hit a certain number of characters in your post.

You're taking what I said out of context. I said the idea itself was pointless (and if anything, counter-productive), not the suggestion. You're free to suggest anything you want, that doesn't mean I have to like the idea that is being suggested.

Quality is subjective. What I consider brohoof-worthy may be different from what you would. I have free reign to brohoof anything I want, as do you. Sure, some are lower effort, but lower effort does not necessarily mean lower quality. I see tons of "low quality" blogs and posts in other sections of the forums as well. Why should all of the high quality posts in the Colessuem section be punished and invalidated due to other parts of the section that are considered "low quality"? You can apply the same logic to ANY part of the forum. This is why I suggest the brohoof counter be removed to avoid any and all brohoof farming, or have it stay the way it is now.

 

And a 20 character limit isn't exactly hard to reach.

Quality is subjective.

 

The automated message for when a topic is moved the the forum lounge -

 

This thread appears to be some manner of random (but strangely enjoyable) nonsense, or something spammy of the sort. Thus, it has been sentenced to the Forum Lounge section of Cloudsdale Colosseum. 

 

"Nonsense"

"Something spammy of the sort"

 

I think hearing how things of that nature are of quality would be helpful to our discussion here

 

What I consider brohoof-worthy may be different from what you would. I have free reign to brohoof anything I want, as do you.

 

Throwing out the "This is what I think, and I can think this this way because I can" type of logic isn't really a sound line of thinking when it comes to a discussion - Buffalo Man wrote an entire blog entry about why that kind of reasoning is flawed. When you're having a discussion, a line of logic and a base of your opinions is needed, not just an "I'm my own person, I do what I want" kind of logic. Please provide reasoning in order to help further this discussion

 

Why should all of the high quality posts in the Colessuem section be punished and invalidated due to other parts of the section that are considered "low quality"? You can apply the same logic to ANY part of the forum.

 

Again, the Colosseum is meant for joking around and nonsense - as I've said before, it's for the stuff that is meant to be of no quality. The number of high quality posts in there is vastly outnumbered by the number of low quality posts there, and it's vice-versa for the other sections of the forums, anyway.

 

This is why I suggest the brohoof counter be removed to avoid any and all brohoof farming, or have it stay the way it is now.

 

The thing is, you yourself said that we shouldn't punish the few high-quality posts in the Colosseum, but, if the brohoof counter was to be removed entirely, then you'd be punishing every other section of this forum that has a lot of posts of good to great quality. So, basically, we should punish everybody who makes high-quality posts in the other sections because people are abusing the brohoof feature in one section that is designated for posts of little to no quality?

I don't think the "count to a million" thread is really to blame. If it's any thread, it's the "Best Cute Pony Pictures" thread. and the "Post your Desktop" one,. because you go in there, almost literally every post has 4-5 brohooves, at least... And where do those threads happen to be? In the Cloudsdale Colosseum,where posts don't count. They also happen to be pinned topics. So to alienate one thread in the games section is kinda silly. There's just so much that goes on in that part of the forum, it'd be hard to regulate.

 

Okay, honestly, I understand why posts shouldn't count, but why brohoofs? I swear, if this happened, at least half of my brohoofs would be gone. It's not like anybody's abusing getting brohoofs in the Colosseum. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

And if you do have 40 posts and 300 brohoofs, it's not far off from where i'm standing at like 2,500 posts and 2,700 or 3,000 brohoofs.

 

 

I think removing brohoofs from The Colosseum, would just cause a big shit storm of drama and angry users wondering where their brohoofs went. So what if "User X has X many brohoofs'' They're not hurting anyone. I mean Forum Lounge/Cloudsdale Colosseum is meant for silly/funny topics. People like to brohoof what they like, and just so happens that people like what people post in that part of the forum. As you said, if it's not broken, why fix it?

 

Quality is subjective. What I consider brohoof-worthy may be different from what you would. I have free reign to brohoof anything I want, as do you.

Indeed. Not everyone sees all posts equally. What one member might find humorous or agree upon, another member might not. It's all across the forum. Post quality is a matter of opinion. Some posts may not be that "quality", but hey it could be as funny as hell, or have some "I see what you did there" thing in it. Or if it just happen to have a picture I liked, or a video I liked....despite not having any text in the post, I'd still brohoof it, because I liked it. 

 

The same "issue" of the Cloudsdale Colosseum, could be said for blogs. People make stupid pointless blogs all the time and get a ton of bro-hooves for it. Maybe we should not allow brohooves on blogs too. You can't really "regulate" blogs for quality. 

 

 

TL;DR. No need to punish one forum section because of a couple popular topics. I don't really care about "Brohoof farming" I'm here for ponies. I could care less how many brohoofs another member has, or how they got them.

[Doctor XFizzle 8,669]

At this point, I'll defend keeping all brohoofs because I'm vain and I collected way too many and it makes my ego feel SPECTACULAR.

[ghostfacekiller39 23,860]

I think removing brohoofs from The Colosseum, would just cause a big shit storm of drama and angry users wondering where their brohoofs went.

 

To be honest, I'm not even sure of removing the ability of brohoofing posts in the Colosseum would affect the current brohoof count for each member. Maybe it'd just restrict brohoofs from that point forward? I can't say that for certain.

 

 

 

-snip-

 

I'm just going to ask you something - post don't go up because of the nature of the posts in that particular section of the forums. Why should brohoofs count? 

 

The thing is, quality is subjective, but, as discussed in the "Count to a Million" thread we were talking about earlier, they're usually just posting a number and a line of text -  I'd like an explanation of how that's "quality." It's counting to a million, and people are outright abusing brohoofs in those threads - brohoofs look cool to have, and you and I know it, but they should also be earned, and not just the same people giving each other brohoofs in what's obviously just something that's being done to boost brohoof count and no less. Unless the quality that can be found in the "Count to a Million" game can be explained to me, than I can't say my stance will be changing anytime soon.

 

Also, as I said earlier, brohoofs look cool, and having a lot more brohoofs than posts looks cool, but brohoofs are something that should be earned. I know that the staff prohibits things directly based around getting brohoofs, as I've seen them lock topics for forum games based on that nature - when people are doing nothing but posting numbers and pictures and brohoofing the shit out of each other to make each other look better by comparison. Doing things to make each other look better promotes elitism, and, on these forums, not much looks better on a regular member than a high brohoof count that outnumbers the number of posts.

 

Elitism is something that can damage these forums, and when people are doing things like this to look better by having a high number of brohoofs compared to the next guy, that's promoting elitism. That's another problem with this scenario, and that's something that's being done in threads like the "Count to a Million" game and the two you listed - which is another reason, apart from the ones I've mentioned previously, brohoofs in the Colosseum shouldn't count.

Because it's a status symbol.  It shows that even the post may have not counted, it still shows the fact that they have some sort of credibility as a user, somewhere on the forum. Be it a silly forum game or some other random topic in the Colosseum.

I'm sorry, but that's one of the problems I brought up - that's exactly it. It's a "status symbol."

 

Here:

Doing things to make each other look better promotes elitism, and, on these forums, not much looks better on a regular member than a high brohoof count that outnumbers the number of posts.

People are going there just to get the brohoofs and not gain a post in their post count in order to look good in comparison to fellow members.

 

As I said, the way the forum games work is promoting elitism, and I've explained that in the previous post - elitism is bad. Very bad. It's not great. No one wants it.

 

Which is why that either posts should count in the Colosseum or brohoofs shouldn't count in the Colosseum. It'd take away that factor of "I'm going to post here so that way I can get brohoofs but keep my post count low." There's entire topics that's been brought up in this discussion that are being used for that very purpose - and it's hard to deny it at this point. Why should this be allowed to happen?

 

People are abusing the brohoof system over there in order to make themselves look better, and that's something that can ultimately hurt the forums, as I've explained several times above

You are making the mistake of inferring that people go there simply to increase their brohoof count. Subjective conjecture does not a good argument make. While there are certain forum games that increase only exist to serve the increase of a tick counter, the game you continuously refer to does not. No were in there does it say "please brohoof this", all a brohoof equates to is a facebook like. For some reason or another, someone found the post amusing, or funny, or entertaining. Brohoof's only have the "statement of quality" that you give them. It is no more a "status symbol" then the profile viewer count, or the friends list count, or the post count. The only quality it has is the one you subjectively give it. People are always going to find ways to try to act better than others, but giving so much credit to what equates to a facebook like is rather silly.

[Lightwing 12,978]

You are making the mistake of inferring that people go there simply to increase their brohoof count.

Maybe you're right,or maybe not.

 

I'll not say that having a lot of brohooves is bad if you have low post count,I can't say that's bad.

But it creates an unfair situation,where,if you post there(I've made the experiment before),you get for the simpliest of te posts,3-4 brohooves,against the Random number of brohooves that you can get with a post on another section of the forum.

 

My idea was to limit a bit the brohooves on that section of the forum.

Why?

Not everyone sees all posts equally. What one member might find humorous or agree upon, another member might not. It's all across the forum. Post quality is a matter of opinion. Some posts may not be that "quality", but hey it could be as funny as hell, or have some "I see what you did there" thing in it. Or if it just happen to have a picture I liked, or a video I liked....despite not having any text in the post, I'd still brohoof it, because I liked it.

That would limit the brohooves's giving on thay section.If,like you said,there's a funny pic/post there,you have your right to brohoof it,because,even if it's not a quality post,it was enjoyable.

But there's a big difference between the funny posts:

So...I found this picture...

 

I warn you...you cannot unsee that which has been seen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All throughout the night I shudder in fear. Past yon veil of ignorance in that place beyond mortal senses, I know it lurks.

 

Waiting.

And the non-sensical posts from the "Count to one million" game:

67,870

What post would you brohoof before?The funny pic,or the number?

The same "issue" of the Cloudsdale Colosseum, could be said for blogs. People make stupid pointless blogs all the time and get a ton of bro-hooves for it. Maybe we should not allow brohooves on blogs too. You can't really "regulate" blogs for quality.

There's not comparation between a one-time thing,that are the brohooves received for each blog(lurking between 1-13,and it can variate),and a number receiving 3-4 brohooves each time.

Maybe you're right about the blogs,but you don't post a blog each...20 seconds,and gets 3-4 brohooves during the next 40 seconds, waiting for another user to post,brohoof his post,and rrepeat the process

 

Also, as I said earlier, brohoofs look cool, and having a lot more brohoofs than posts looks cool, but brohoofs are something that should be earned. I know that the staff prohibits things directly based around getting brohoofs, as I've seen them lock topics for forum games based on that nature - when people are doing nothing but posting numbers and pictures and brohoofing the shit out of each other to make each other look better by comparison. Doing things to make each other look better promotes elitism, and, on these forums, not much looks better on a regular member than a high brohoof count that outnumbers the number of posts.

 

Sadly,that's the truth.

Having nowadays a big brohoof counter is a sign of Elitism between members.

But there's a difference from having 2000 posts and 5000 brohooves,per example,and 18 posts and 4000 brohooves.

That's a question for everyone,and no evasives.Just the answer...

Do you feel more respect for the member with 2000 posts and 5000 brohooves,or the member with 18 posts and 4000 brohooves?

I'm going in here now, because I probably the main target here right now

 

Sure, I give brohoofs, when something is funny etc. even when it's not big quality. I have fun with those posts. Okay, only to brohoof a number isn't really cool, but I don't see the point, for pictures, videos, jokes etc. The "Count to a million" thread isn't a "We post numbers and earning lots of brohooves to be cool" thread. I don't meet there anypony, who creams out loud, that he got 4.000 brohoofs, mayby a short mentioning. We are not talking to each other and say "Hey, can you give me brohooves?"

 

We have fun and talking there a lot and yes, not all post are high quality, but some are. I give brohoof for things I want, not randomly brohoof every post. I earn brohooves, because they liked my post. I have absolute no problem, when the post count is off there, because then, I would probably have over 13.000 posts only there, but to cut off the broohoves there ... I find that silly.

 

I can understand, that you feel annoyed, that you make 3.000 posts and 4.000 broohoves and somepony else hast 200 posts but the same brohoof number. Here are probably way worse problems then "Useless brohoofing".

 

It's not like I bagging people there to give me them, they do it by they own. And I can NOT controll the brohooves, other giving to me, only the ones I give.

 

We not brohoof for a high brohoof number. We all brohoof because we want to, because we liked the post.

 

But if you all really want to cut out all "Forum games brohooves" then go ahead. But there will definitl come some users, who get pissed off, when this would happen. And it's not me.

 

Just wanted to say that, to defend a bit the users there.

 

(And as you can see, we can do qualitative posts, like this one. But to write for a picture or a little joke extra over 200 characters would be annoying as hell)

That's a different story on our hands :3

The trouble of some users was that you,and your friends were braging over "I have 4000 brohoofs!".

Excuse me for my confusion :3

It's a bit annoying that someone has 3000 posts and 4000 brohooves,and there's an user with the same ammount of brohooves but with much less posts.

I personally find it a bit annoying,but I don't make a world of that :3

I personally think that it should be a limit of brohoofs on that secion.

I know why post number doesn't increase,but completly nullify the brohoofs there isn't going to solve nothing.Just raged users and flame wars.

I've never complained about you writting or not quality posts.

I've just said "Brohoof just numbers",but I know perfectly that you can write good posts if you want :3

3~4 brohoofs per post in the Count to 1 million game? I just read some pages, half of the posts don't have a single brohoof, and some of them have 1~2 brohoofs when they are a bit developed.
