Aight I thought of a monetary system to increase the economy but that it can't be abused on.
Make it so that every green bar on your post bar that you have you will get +1 more mins per post.
IE:
2 bars = 10 mins/post
10bars = 18mins/post
I think this is a good method because Yoshi is the only one that can regulate it. It cannot be abused individually because the person can't determine that they want to get a raise, they need to earn it. It has a limit that is not that high.
The rules for this methos are the same. You spam you get banned.
The objective of this method is to increase this slow economy we currently have. It's very hard to get enough money to make any real advancements in any of the games.
Another thing: We people with lots of posts won't get inmediate advantages because we will all get minerals proportionally and we didn't get those extra mins for all posts we made.
New people will have an advantage because they will get their extra money early and they can catch up to us quite quickly.
Suggestions/Comments?
BTW: Yoshi if you think this system is O.K., don't put it unless most people think it's ok, we don't want a lot of whinners here at SEN.

I think it is a bad idea because it help the rich people (with high post counts) get richer faster. Notice I'm a rich person and I speak the truth.

Does the slow economy matter? I used to have the third most minerals on the site, and they are all gone. You don't hear me complaining. It doesn't really matter overall...

I believe it's a bad idea too... Regulars will get all the minerals while noobs won't even be encouraged to post. It should be the opposite, in fact... xD
We've been discussing a new way of gaining minerals anyway, and it's aiming for the words-per-post law. It's kinda long to program for Yoshi, though, so it's probably not for anytime soon...
Another thing we thought of was a minimum letters requirement to gain minerals, such as (example); if you make a post with less than 50 characters (more or less 15 words), you don't get any minerals.

How the heck does that take a long time to program?

I seriously need to get a new mineral system in, but its going to require uber programming for it to be non abusive (such as (quote) and (code) tags dont count, and so on)
Says it all.

Ahhh 'cause I was thinking every programming language I know can parse strings by letter...

Maybe make it the other way around then?
Instead of by the number of rgeen you have make it by the number of grey.

all this money stuff is sidetracking us from making maps, and by us I don't mean me but other people cause I don't really know how to make them. Any way, if you're patient enough eventually your minerals will build up and don't spend what you have at once, save it little as your back up $

I believe most of us know the bar is already based on post count. So basically, you spam and get minerals. Spam and get MORE minerals. Spam more... hey, even more minerals! Then newbs complain about why they don't have any cash and we all do, then we have another reset.
I have come to the conclusion that there IS no good system (that won't require very large amounts of work).

The more posts you have the less mins you get/post.

I think the money system is worthless enought Yoshi shoul djust leave it alone and concentrate on other things, like the Matrix.

Too late, the work's already done.
PS -- If you think Yoshi didn't work on Matrix cuz of minerals, you're dumb.

I didn't work on matrix because I was busy making a map making site. How ironic.
