    Anyone else have any issues with the forums being down all the time?

    I do. They haven't worked once for me in two weeks.

    Have you tried closing and reopening your browser? If that doesn’t work, I’m sure CG will fix it soon (tm). They might even give everyone 3 likes once it’s working again.

    I opened a report on EA Answers, fingers crossed.

    This thread is too good.

    How do I report the OP for cheating? No way he can make a forum post this good with his post history.

    What’s the point, though? The devs negotiate with forum cheaters.

    Have you seen @CG_SBCrumb 's post count? There is no way he can get the legendary 10k likes with that post per like ratio

    I think he cheated

    The forum isn’t fun anymore and I would have quit already if it wasn’t for the great community.

    Did I say “close and reopen your browser”? I meant delete and recreate your account. I’m sure you’ll be able to recover your progress. (I swear I’ve got no ulterior motives here).

    Thanks (I think). It took a while to theorycraft a decent post. I did almost DM the content to a veteran forumer to post on my behalf but new post creators have to start somewhere, right?

    And apparently doesn't count if you under-post. :(

  • Where's the posting guide? What to post in and what not to post in.
  • I also feel like CG manipulates like rates - especially for newer posters. I posted about 20 times and didn't get a single like. I feel like I go weeks without a single like, despite posting every day. It also feels like when I'm at 99 likes, that 100th one takes FOREVER! Dynamic like rates is underhanded. And don't even get me started about double-like days.

    Also, does anyone know whether to get likes if it's better to post one day at time? Or multiple posts in one day? I feel like I get more likes one at a time.

    I post in threes. It doesn’t make a difference to how many likes I get, but it makes it feel less disappointing when I draw a blank.

    Remember when CG reduced the possible post count in a day from 8 to 5? Greedy.

    That only affects general discussions. Off-topic farming has no limits.

    You’re a noob. I was around in the 3 post per day era.

    The thing that kills me is that I posted with gay abandon when there was no consequences to bloating your post count.

    Now, I get compared with much leaner posters.

    You've had plenty of time to stop posting, but you're still doing it.

    Pffft, you're not even in Div 1 yet. Wait till you hit 5k and your posts start getting compared to someone with 25k. Then you're in for a world of hurt.

    Can we get new threads cycled in to old discussions?

    Feedback thread hasn’t had a new thread in months! And the GET discussion has so much competition that it takes 6 months to farm a rare high GP player from that discussion

    I try to keep my post count down so I get compared to other lower posters. But I keep seeing that blue “post comment” button and I can’t resist pressing it.

    You're lucky - my "post comment" buttons keep disappearing!

  • Double like days are nice, but doubling zero is still zero. Doesn't help at all.

    If CG cared about the forums they'd change double likes to double like rates.

    Unfortunately likes don't drive spending.

    It's not just unbalanced, they took one side completely out of the forums. Now it's either likes or neutral.

    Stop asking CG to fix your mistakes.

    There's a datamine about "giga-likes" coming to the forums with crazy requirements, like creating 14 10-pages post. If those GL are really a thing, I may quit the forum for good. The balance will be gone forever.

    I've been hoarding likes since December. I'm ready.

    Just make sure you wait to see the post kits before you decide which post to put all those likes on. Choose wrong and you'll never be able to solo anything.
