Chat Board Rules

FunTrivia is a family-friendly site and even though children aged under thirteen are not allowed to have their own accounts we know that many families use FunTrivia as a family activity. We also have to follow the laws in some countries about what is acceptable for children. As a result, although FunTrivia members are adults we do not allow conduct on the Chatboards that may conflict with our policies. In particular:

We do not allow name-calling, swearing, attacks on individuals or groups; neither do we allow discussion of politics or religion.

Please do not post personal information on the boards, including your age and contact details.

Boards
Please choose the board that best fits the subject of your post. If you are unsure, contact a Moderator first. Before starting a new topic, read other threads to see if you can add to one of those. Duplicate threads are usually not permitted. However, if there is a topic with an existing thread that no one has used for two or more years, please start a new thread.

Links
Do not post links to other sites that may contain commercial material or advertising or which contain comments sections of their own. For example, sites such as YouTube may allow comments that would not be permitted on FunTrivia and while a page may seem acceptable at the time of posting, that situation may change as comments are added. We reserve the right to remove all links.

Moderators
If you have any doubts about posting something please consult one of the Moderators and they will do their best to assist you.

Please note that the Moderators have the right to remove any material they deem to be in violation of these rules and/or FunTrivia's Terms & Conditions. If you wish to appeal against a Moderator's decision please contact the Chief Chatboard Moderator (flopsymopsy).

In some situations the Moderators may recommend that an individual player should be penalised for violating the rules; the penalties imposed will include the loss of sitewide privileges for posting on the chatboards and forums, in AskFT, and via the direct message system. Significant penalties are always discussed by several admins and only imposed after a joint decision.

Subject: Coming up: New reward system and more!

If you've been reading the right posts, you may have noticed that we've been busy behind the scenes. In fact, we're working on... big stuff.

While we're not quite ready yet to spill the beans, we'll say this much - a key element will be a new reward system to replace the current level system that has, over the last fifteen years, grown out of balance. Back in 2008, we had like 50 badges and point levels and badge levels were comparable. Level 80 was REALLY a lot.

As it stands now, top players have exceeded 250 levels - and almost all of that is from getting tier 1 on major badges. Almost nothing else matters - point levels are FAR apart once you are above 5 million or so.

Come September (we'll announce the exact date closer to release) this will change. The new system will give points some proper value beyond the first few again, it will reward gaining tiers, authoring, team play and just being active throughout the site. There will also be less of a distinction between minis and full badges - a differentiation we mainly made to keep levels from reaching 600 and above anyway!

Most of the back-end calculations are in place already - meaning you are already being tracked and rewarded for plays in ways you don't know... yet. But if you want to get a head start into the new system on top of what you've already done - gaining some tiers, playing a wide variety of games and authoring quizzes, questions and crosswords can do that.

Our end goal is to make FunTrivia feel a lot more like what it deserves to be: Not a random collection of quizzes and games, but rather ONE game pretty much like an MMO (massively multiplayer online) game- but one where you don't win by grinding character stats but rather where YOUR OWN skills determine your progress and success. All the elements for it have been there for a long time. We'll finally combine them.

(Of course if you prefer, you can keep treating things like a collection like you always did - you will still be able to play quizzes, win an hourly or work towards a GC title. But you can also look at the whole - and play FunTrivia.)
