GAMEBANANA: Point Chart Rebalance (Ideas)

Suggestion: Point Chart Rebalance

Does anyone feel that the Point Chart is a bit unbalance?

If we compare points gained by submit skin(25 points), map(25 points), gamefile(25 points) & thread(10 points).

Submit spray(25 points) & idea(25 points) is giving too much points because they are easier to submit. I suggest it should be reduce to spray (18 points), GUI (20 points) & idea (15 points)

Tools (25 points) should be increase to 30 points cause they are not often submited.

If u say points should not be reduce, then increase points per Skin, Map, tools, etc.

Resolution: Duplicate

Already been planned for months.

This Idea is like a real offense for the spray,gui and idea maker.It doesn't make any sense to reduce the points in this selected section.It doesn't have more effort for the creator to submit his submission.25 points is not too much points you can earn daily.It's better to make it the default setting of the points than your idea of letting the setting change and ruined.

I find ideas submissions hard. Just making the perfect title for it is hard enough, description that must be easy and understandable and pictures. And of course the whole idea itself. So submitting an idea that people will be interested in is hard.

The point overhaul is in progress. We`ve been telling people about this the last 4 months.

Adding _csgo to CS:GO maps...?

The problem with this is that it's hard to decide how much effort goes into all the submissions in certain section. In sprays it can go from minutes to hours. In GUIs it can go from minutes for a random image background to days and weeks for a complete GUI change. I think it's unfair to say that all sprays are worth less than other submissions. While I would agree some do, I would equally argue that some don't and it seems unfair to judge them all together as easy to make, googled images. The sprays I make can take several hours and yet some maps and reskins can take less than that. It seems unfair to judge the effort of submissions just by the sections that they are in.

So, you want me to justify my rating ?
Here you go.

Submit spray(25 points) & idea(25 points) is giving too much points because they are easier to submit. I suggest it should be reduce to spray (18 points), GUI (20 points) & idea (15 points)

25 points for sprays isn't that much. Maybe they are kinda easy to make but they are very important on this website and a lot of people don't know how to make anything else. These points encourage these people, in my own opinion, it's a bad idea to decrease the amount of points received for spray submissions.
Also, 25 points for ideas isn't that much either. Idea submissions are supposed to be constructive and helpful to the Banana; for these two reasons, 25 points is well deserved (still in my humble opinion). The amount of points received for the requests in the ideas section should be the only one to be decreased.
I don't see the point of decreasing of 5 points the amount of points received for a GUI submission.

Tools (25 points) should be increase to 30 points cause they are not often submited.

"'Cause they are not often submitted" ? Is that the reason being ?
The amount of points received for a tool submission shouldn't be increased at all (except if you made it yourself). It's very easy to upload a random software.

So, in order to answer your main question:

Does anyone feel that the Point Chart is a bit unbalance?

I don't. Everything that's about points on this website is fine to me.

Nope, recolors are 5 minute jobs that are still considered skins and the skin section is overloaded with them, diluting the average enormously, retextures don't fare much better either; maps contain simple fy maps.

Leave spray and idea submissions on 25 points and increase the other, like skins,tools etc.

That's almost like keeping minimum wage the same but raising everyone else's pay.

So you think that a spray takes the same hours and effort as a skin? Oh please, i can make 100 in 5 minutes. You have to work hard for a skin. Am i right or not?

You are dead wrong, I can make a high volume of skins in a short timespan just as easy as I can make the same volume of sprays, probably even more.

Every aspect of the site requires unique skills, the best skinner might not be able to make a decent spray and the best mapper will not necessarily be the best GUI creator.

Overall skin & map is more difficult to produce compare to spray & GUI. Ah, what ever
