I'm not really sure if any of this has been suggested before, but I couldn't find it searching the forums, so here goes.

The ability to see your most active forum, for example, say I was most active in the rsgp forum, It would show that when viewing my profile with the percentage of posts in that particular forum.
Was also thinking, this would appear under your post count as something like ;'most active forum: '

Constructive criticism is welcomed.

Another minor suggestion, was to show the most amount of posts a user has racked up in one day, just a small incentive to keep users active.
This would also be in the top right hand corner under post count, when you post...
'Achieved p/c in 24 hrs:'
Appreciate that 'achieved p/c in 24 hrs' is worded strangely, and would be too long a sentence to fit into the place allocated for these sort've things.

Feedback/ thoughts? I'll edit the post should there be any nice suggestions to add :p

Users might start competing for top spot and end up spamming the entire forum.
But the rest of your ideas are decent, I support a few ideas and others I don't.

I like both suggestions. The first one I like do too is would be cool to see what forum you're most active in. The second suggestion I like because I've always wanted to know this perhaps have a calender with the number of posts you have on a particular day
 
I could see the second one leading to spam, so no support there.

First one seems decent enough. It's nothing vital but I guess it'd be interesting enough to have.
 
Second would cause mayhem, no support.

First would be interesting and great to have, support.
 
Yeah, fully understand that the spamming would be an issue.
Thanks for support on the first idea though :)
 
Yeah, the first one seems cool, would probably also make it easier choosing new mods (If someone has 1K posts and is most active in SFA, it's clear that that person would have enough activity for mod at least).

I don't see much harm in the first one but the second will bring about more spammers that try to get a ton of posts.

Hi im cool cuz i can format every post annoyingly.





Second idea is a fail for spamming reasons and if you want to figure it out, you can just go check. First one falls under the same category. I GUESS it's plausible, but the problem is, how are you going to tell? When I was active, I spent TONS of time around the graphics section but I only had like 3 posts per day because the section's so dead. Just something to think about.
 
First is kinda pointless since then you'll visit other forums even less.

And the second will lead to spam.
 
Why would this mean other forums being less active?
It would simply be a way of telling, which forum that user is most active in.
It's obviously not crucial to sythe, it's just a minor change, this particular idea has been implemented on other major forums such as 'runescape community'.

Spamming is obviously an issue, however, I don't believe the majority of sythe will spam to get their 24 hr post count up, I believe this will encourage, inactive members to come back to sythe and become more active.

Thanks for all the support and constructive criticism.
 
Support for the 1st suggestion.
