While the postmaxxing competition is a good idea, I think it's a double-gooned sword because on one hand, there's much more activity on the forum but on the other hand, threads are taking even more of a dip in quality. So I think we should have a high effort and high IQ thread making competition for October, and I think adding a point system would be beneficial.

Basically the postmaxxing competition but with high quality threads, and I think users who make threads on the whitepill should get extra points, i.e. If a user makes a thread on lets say philosophy or religion, they get 2 points awarded by Tabula, and if a user makes a thread on the whitepill then they get 3 points. If Tabula thinks awarding points manually would be too hard, why not recruit some helpers? Although to prevent the helpers from abusing their point-awarding powers, they won't be able to participate in the competiton themselves.

I think something like this can be artificial and ingenuine. Things are done better spontaneously. The current event is fine for now, it only lasts for one month and the worst of the postmaxxing problems have already been dealt with.

Am I on this list because I've tricked you into thinking I'm high IQ or because you want me to be a helper?

jk makes sense. I don't do postmaxxing competitions myself, so it's whatever most people think is fun. Since the month already started though I don't think you can change the rules but maybe for future events..
