Ok seriously tho, I am considering adding another requirement to denizen. Some people take extraordinarily long breaks between their debut, and it's hard to figure where they belong. So to become denizen you will have to make it to 10 pages without a 6 month or greater break within that time period.
I think it’s a good thing to lengthen the requirements for becoming a denizen. But at the same time, having such a basic set of requirements, such as x amount of posts within x amount of time, is a bad thing for OT.
Knowing of these current requirements for becoming a denizen, people are a lot more likely to grind posts to hit the 10 page mark. Ultimately, this will contribute to a surge in shitposts from people who’s main purpose is becoming a denizen, rather than putting in effort and quality.
This is what I propose. I believe that there should be a committee of currently trusted and tenured denizens who nominate and approve of new denizens. Denizens should not only be approved based on how long they’ve been around, but also by the quality of their posts, and what they contribute to OT.
Now, whether this committee is hand picked by the OT!Government, or nominated by their fellow peers, it doesn’t not matter. What matters is that the process to becoming a denizen is one that rewards good behavior, effort, and quality content/posts. Our current system here in OT rewards a lack of effort and shitposts.
We need change.
