There is an achievement on the forums called “Long Time No Speak”. With this achievement you need to be registered 1 year and have less than 365 posts. I believe that this achievement should be removed due to various reasons.
1) You are only able to achieve this achievement in the first year of your forums account. You never have a chance of getting it after that year, which is pretty weird to me. Achievements shouldn’t be based on what you achieve within a year, but what you achieve in your overall time on the forums. Having a personal achievement as “I want to get 4000 likes at the end of this year” is okay, but everyone is gaining likes and messages on their own speed. Achievements shouldn’t really be that competitive towards others, only to motivate yourself to be more on the forums.
2) Management should encourage members to post more on their forums, not less. It should be turned around, to motivate people.
3) My first couple of hundred messages were reports. Back in the days there was no report site, only the forums. You had to create a thread to report someone. This automatically leads to more messages in the first year of my forums account. I’m guessing that i’m far the only one that doesn’t have this achievement because of the old report system.
