Competition entries.

Honestly, as much as Lenovo may want an active forum, setting comp entries to daily forum posts is counterintuitive.

Yes, you're getting more posts, but the quality of them is declining, people are just throwing random stuff out there for an extra 10 entries. Because of which most people aren't really taking part in them.

Don't get me wrong, I love the chance to win things, either nets me gear or gives me a chance to treat loved ones. I just can't help but feel the daily entry requirements are diluting the forum rather than enriching it.

Just my 2pence worth.

EDIT: Lenovo should have some moderators on here and a few technical people so any legit questions have a probability of a Legion staff member giving an accurate answer or reply.

It would liven the atmosphere here because that alone gives people a reason to talk here. Legion will read and possible take note and help out with problems without going to customer services first. Could actually streamline things a bit.

    I get what you mean. There are lots of low quality threads that are effortless. Sometimes, it's just a duplicate of an existing thread, but in different wording. I just giggle at them and read something else.

    On the other hand, I love starting discussions, whatever they may be, and sometimes I get people rolling, but sometimes I don't. I do my best to provide quality content, but if there's no interest in a discussion, I can't force it.

    I'm a bit split on this, because, yes, we might have low quality content, but we're still nudged to provide quality content, too. Any other forum has variety of content quality too. And quality is subjective... Shrug

    P.S. Even though the rules say something like "Spam or low-effort content will not qualify!", that doesn't stop people from writing low-effort content, even if they won't qualify with it. Laughing

    I have the same feeling on this. The quality of posts really has taken a downturn with many not even trying to at least try to comply with the rules. Even so, there still are posts that are worthy of a good discussion so to each his own I guess.

    Yeah you put it well, someone can start a high quality post but doesn't mean people will discuss it, and if people provide whatever a low quality post is it can be made interesting in the replies
