I don't think he was having a pop at you to be honest. From his previous posts he's not that sort of chap. Very pleasant in general. I think it was a comment aimed at others. He may well prove me wrong with a response but I think he was just responding regarding the 500 baht. 

Correct. It was a general comment about the state of the forum!

Points system for what?

You're not suggesting it's pointless, surely?

 

Pointing the way

Pointing it out

Pointing the way out

What's the point?

 

How do you rank my member in any case?

The Forum changes ... but some old remaining members stay the same and now have to adapt to a new system that is based on the quantity of posts given ... the most active posters get the highest ranks , no matter the quality of their posts ...?

That is , sorry , ridiculous .

Quantity over Quality .

Another Rat Race about who gets the most ' likes ' ?

Progress turns out to be worse than before , again  , regrettable ...

Gratifying as that would be, I don't think that more bickering would improve the board or help to retain mods.

I do not like that .

It looks like a part of a " Rat Race " .

But , finally , I do not care ...

 

Emojis should not be anonymous . Just as it was before .

There should be a ' dislike ' emoji as well .

We do not want to drown in hypocrisy , do we ...?

IMO there should be no emojis at all. If you got something to say, Say it. if not ...........

well I don't want to say the rest and lose points, I plan to redeem mine at the end of the year for a set of Asean now commemorative plated for my china cabinet.

We are a vibrant community so we follow what other successful forums do, but we adapt it to our users.

Our growth is good, so we are doing it pretty spot on.

And the Laugh emoji.

Imagine how confused germans would be when they get one?

Apologies to all Germans. I was dying to use that line.

Agreed. Although I do think quality can be represented by the 3 emoji's - heart, thumbs up and winners cup (if that's what it is).
