I'm just annoyed we still don't have the rules outlined, or better - the reasons for any rules in the first place.
He said he communicated it.
I'm still very unclear.
Why is it inconsistent?
Just keep it simple.
Forcing me to look at a limited amount of content here will force me to seek more elsewhere, thus spend less time on Goat. I'm not going to engage further with content I've already seen or passed over.
Forcing me to share only 2 or maybe even 4 posts a day is going to make me give up posting when I come across a dozen great things a day on average - some days less, some more.
The hard limits were not gradual nor explained. Easing into it would have been better, with soft words and lube.
More importantly, I don't know why this is being implemented.
It's literally there on the page. It's a comment bonus. Make three comments more recent than your last post and your next post gets extra. It's like charging a plasma pistol in Halo, except you are helping the site with the metric it needs most. It's in the hover over.
I'm thinking about either nerfing it or adding one more requirement. Proposed: One of the three comments has to be the first comment. That way we get more conversations started, which is the real metric needed. That will also make it more rare and so it won't hurt non-boosted posts as much.
