Also, I think your post count should only increase when you post things relevant and helpful to other members. Fan art/fiction, to me, does not do that.
Photographers guilds and "What's your favorite race/faction" etc counts towards post count. But those are probably uneeded topic too, right?

What i reckon is a good idea is a new helper mod specifically for the new sector. Take some of the load off our existing mods.

No. Those are very much related to the game, and it's a way for players to share in-game experiences.
Maybe a phpBB plug-in would help. Like a "thumbs up, thumbs down" plug-in. And as I said, we can have subforum specific rules (short replies, like "I like", "Meh" are not allowed). If someone breaks a rule like that, we'll delete his reply. If it happens too often, we can send him/her a friendly warning.

But fan-art isn't?

Fan art is fine, but newbies are obviously going to abuse the post count or post irrelevant comments. Not to mention that this will take some activity away from the Arts, which is one of my favorite sections.

You obviosuly aren't on here without mods then, a lot of topics get spammed to the max. I'm not even talking off-topic, no, what I'm talking about is stupidity conversations that make no sense and don't go anywhere.

Codex wrote:My main concern is, as I stated in the first post, that the activity will be divided between two art sections. I personally am open to trying it out and give it, as Milder Despues suggested, a test period. If it's nothing but a negative experience, we'll just archive the whole thing.
