I don't think advertising should be rewarded with as much XP as it is right now. Sure, some of you might say, "but 50 XP isn't even that much", when it kinda is to characters that are just getting started.
I think advertising is way too easy for the amount that it rewards you. Since being active already rewards you with 50 XP, advertising on top of that is another 50 XP, giving you 100 XP in total. That's a free F-Rank combat/specialist ability. Or 2 free F-Rank life skill abilities. I'm okay with being active rewarding you, because the site wouldn't be alive and moving without the people in it RPing actively. But I just think advertising is way too easy for it to give away as much as being active does.
In my opinion, the reward from advertising should be something as small as, let's say, 25 XP. Or maybe even no reward. Advertising should be an optional thing. With the way advertising is right now in the activity checks, some people might see it as just a way to get some extra XP and not a way to try and help the site grow.
Just my 2 cents on this. Feel free to participate with your own opinions!

Hey Pep,
We had a discussion about this before, you weren't there so don't get me wrong, good you bring it up! But we decided that giving 5 exp per url is the solution to the problem and a maximum of 10 per character. That does translate to getting 50 experience for doing ten.
Not everyone agreed on the ease of advertising, which was why we took this solution and awarding per link instead of you need 10 to get 50.

Was there a vote, or something just the staff decided, to quantify this 'we'?

Rosey means "we" as the staff. The entire staff team discussed the issue and voted on it. We don't leave site policies to popular vote, typically, so why would now be any different? Please keep your contributions to the conversation as constructive as possible.

It was discussed among staff following the drama of the last activity check. It's not mandatory, and if you're interested in doing it, there's a large advertising directory that you can use. And before anyone says this is us taking advantage of the member base to advertise, that is false. I advertise regularly with no reward, and post in about 100 sites every month.
100 total exp for an AC reward that happens once every two months is nothing. Yes it gives you a free F rank ability, which is the point. We want to thank members for participating by giving you something you can use.

I appreciate the clarification. Since I was away from the site for quite some time, I didn't realize that the activity checks started being done once every two months. I thought it was still an "each month" thing from when I was still around last time. I guess that doesn't make things as easy as I thought they were.
No more questions from me! Feel free to close this thread if no one ends up adding to the discussion.
*insert thumbs up*
