Dear members,
Welcome to 2015, may we wish all a very happy and prosperous new year, and of course, happy hunting and plentiful bounty.
Going forward, we have made some minor tweaks to the way the forum is run. Most of the changes will be very minor and you may not even notice them. The changes will hopefully lead to a smoother user experience and greater efficiency in the flow of information.
What some of you may have noticed though, is a drop in account rank, and a difference in the way points are earned.
We feel that those who regularly contribute should be rewarded, and that account ranks should be based on contribution, not registration date.
In the past year, we have received complaints by members (some being newcomers) that some senior ranked members have empty posting histories. Other members have complained about what they perceive as an attitude of arrogance and entitlement by 伸手黨/leecher members who do nothing but ask for information, but never contribute thing, and whom will aggressively retaliate when confronted about their selfishness.
To this end, we have made the following changes:
- Points can no longer be earned simply by signing out and signing in.
- Points will be earned only by contribution.
- The amount of points needed before promotion from Newbie Wolf to the 2nd level Normal Wolf has been increased from 50 to 100 points. So if you your points earned is between 50-100, your rank would drop.
- 4) Members are discouraged from trying to game the system by frequently posting messages that lack substance (or meaingful contribution). For example, someone who post nothing but generic "thank you for the review" messages will have their points cancelled.
- Members who have registered for a long time and achieved a senior rank, but never contributed may have points deducted. We will not conduct a systematic checking for such member accounts, but will instead do random sampling "audits".
- The following types of selfish behaviour will dramatically increase the likelihood of an "audit" and deduction of points:
- never contributing (also called "lurking")
- only (and often) asking for information
- violating Forum Rules
- exclusively using the [一夜情ONS / 私做 / 援交 / 包養] section
- abusing the use of PM function
We hope these changes will make out forum more fair and equitable. We hope everyone does their part to contribute. I know some may not hobby as much as others and my not have reviews to share, but contribution does not only have to be limited to reviews. You can share any related opinions or thoughts that will add to the discussion and lead to a richer and more lively conversation.
We are also in the continuous process of making Azn747 a more diversified forum that provides a more well-rounded wealth of information geared towards the interests and needs of Asian men (we welcome other ethnicities, but Asians are our main demographic priority). As you may noticed, we have opened up new sub-sections of the forum for other topics. Please let us know if you have suggestions for other topics that deserve a separate section.
Thank you all and please feel free to let us know how we can continue to make Azn747 a more helpful, informative and fun place.
