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.

    A daily comment is fine and doesn't affect overall quality but a daily new discussion is too much in my opinion, and has caused there to be some noticeable poor effort topics.

    That being said, the forum seemed dead before this push through the Gleam competition pages started and it was obvious something needed to be done to drive engagement up. Even with the once-monthly competition task to make a new discussion (rather than daily), half of the posts being written weren't interesting or seemed spammy and low-effort. That comes down to a lack of moderation and feedback when/after creating the posts. In that sense this kinda feels like Lenovo trying to put a low-effort bandage on the problem of their forum being underused and not having much of a community between their product users.

    They really need to fix things like the email notifications not working. I turned on notifications for my discussions so that I would know if people replied to them - to continue the discussion or get an idea of what people liked to read. Yet in months I've had, I think, one sole email that someone replied to one of my many discussions. Despite there having been a lot of replies to multiple. If people don't know there is engagement in their discussions, they're not motivated to continue the chat and don't get any "reward" feeling for posting good stuff, because they have no idea if anyone actually likes their previous posts.
