New Quest Set - Welcome Wagon!
A rather nice set to promote friendliness towards new members, rather easy to figure but just so everyone knows its out there!
Seems like this would just confuse new users having tons of people swarm them with follows, PMs, etc.
Lol yeah I don't envy the new people and the crazy outburst of welcomes and the like, hopefully they will find it more welcoming than creepy XD
Well I'm not positive, but I ASSUME it's basically one week of the current date, best to find people who joined up today or yesterday though to be safe.
Anyone wanna give me a list of newbies since the section of the site is not working >.> well 7 newbies to follow?
This sounds a like a little to much lackluster work not concerning comics. I would really prefer another quest searching the database of characters on the website.
" @Korg: new user - I don't know. Just go to the "Users -> New Users" tab, pick a letter at random and follow 10 of the people listed there. Worked for me. "I'm not even shooting to complete this quest set. Seems like a complete waste of time, which encourages spam, and is something of a nuisance to new users, who will probably end up being mostly alternate accounts anyway.
ALSO this quest set is stupid as hell. :\
" @Korg: Most people you just follow them and it sends them a message that you followed them and it counts."I understand how the mechanics work. My question is what qualifies a user as "new", since it is not specified at all in the quest set (as it should be). I know there is a "newest members" list, and I don't really feel like going though the motions of pretending to help them just to finish these quests. Seems incredibly superficial.
" I'm not doing this one. It won't reach 1000 in a week anyway. "I don't know why they keep setting the benchmarks this high. We've never even come close to 1,000. Not to mention if 1,000 people did do this, it would be flooding new users walls and inboxes with spam.
" @Sexy Merc said:They assume we have no lives." I'm not doing this one. It won't reach 1000 in a week anyway. "I don't know why they keep setting the benchmarks this high. We've never even come close to 1,000. Not to mention if 1,000 people did do this, it would be flooding new users walls and inboxes with spam. "
: P
I thought about the underlined part too, and in addition to that, the site may lag or run slower if multiple users are PMing and writing on the walls of the same new user when a thread they created reaches the home page or something.
I like readloaded the main page an 5 people had already completed this thing... sheesh, marc ecko is just write on new user's profile, right?
Got it in one, exactly how you do it." I like readloaded the main page an 5 people had already completed this thing... sheesh, marc ecko is just write on new user's profile, right? "
" This confused me...I'm not so much a new user, I just don't post on the boards often (ever). Time for a change! "That is the biggest problem with this set, so many people just don't post, let alone create topics.
I still haven't made ten topics myself, I refuse to spam the forums just to completed the quest. It's lucky there hasn't been worse spamming before now really >_>
I still do not know how 10 new people will follow me and I have not found one new user to make a forum topic. Has anyone found a forum topic from a new user
I had been some time in Comicvine and some new users have more followers than me. This quest is crazy. xD I don't get it. Maybe I'll get to it tomorrow. =S
" sorry but I don't have any urge to come off as a creeper or spammer...but I do think this will chase people away considering the spam they'll be getting in their e-mail before they even know what's going on..."This sums up my feelings on this set pretty well.
