DQ and Credits "showing when low" ... Thoughts?

page 5 of 7

Quote by EternalParadoxThe daily Free Download Quota has been reduced to 5 per 24 hours. This number is found to be more inline with the credits system, as the previous 30 has negated all purposes of credits.

The credit amount will now show when you have less than 128 credits. So if you see the hide message, sleep well knowing you're not broke. :)

oop...was just about to spread the word since I started the thread
Thanks for the explanation ep :)

I totally agree with the dq reduction...(although I'm still not sure about the hidden credits....)

... ~_~ This does not make sense. I have downloaded only a few images today, and my DQ now says -9 (and I have certainly not downloaded nine images), but in the options panel it says the download is free. *is perplexed* What in the world is going on? I am begining to become very displeased with Minitokyo. These latest changes are very lame ideas indeed. I had been very pleased with MT, but now it is just becoming a bother.

I've got the same problem as LordWe. I mean...that update thread is nice and all, it shows the changes that were made but it doesn't explain anomalies such as this. I thought...maybe it's a fubar, so I went and downloaded another wall as an experiment. I'm now at -18 DQ, yet my Credits haven't budged. What's up?

Whooaaa..okay....its down to 5 now? Well...now maybe I'll actually start using my credits lol. Since we had 30 I can't remember the last time I used my credits. Okay...thank you for the explanation. :)

Just reverted back to 26 :) .... What in the world is going on ? is the new implementation unstable or something ? ^_^

To all members experiencing a negative quotas, that is due to today's reduction.

Since the quota takes 24 hours to replentish itself, your quotas will be back to normal in 24 hours. Please be patient in the mean time.

Thank you for your understanding.

My understanding? Know what you can do with my understanding? Well, you can be thankful for it, that's what. ;)

Regardless...I'm going away for the rest of the day. Hopefully tomorrow everything will be better, and I'll no longer feel like kicking my monitor.

Can a moderator please explain to me why the options panel says the download is free (this happens with every image, and the likelihood of them all being corrupt is extremely slim), yet my DQ is -9? Also, I am sure I have not downloaded nine images in the past day...

To all members experiencing problems with quotas and credits, I want to first thank you on behalf of the entire moderator staff for your comments, observations, and suggestions. To give some quick background to the situation, we decided yesterday that as a means of reducing the perceived importance of credits, we would hide the displayed number of credits until they dropped below a certain value.

Today, in response to many suggestions that have been submitted over the past few months (as well as in this thread, we decided to reduce the number of free downloads from 30 to 5 as a means of encouraging people to participate more in the community while still allowing all members, regardless of how long they've been part of the community or how much they have contributed, to be able to enjoy what we have to offer in the galleries.

Admittedly, not all changes go as smoothly as planned. While most of the problems surrounding the daily quota will disappear when the quotas are refreshed in a day's time, we are currently doing our best to iron out unexpected wrinkles in the system right now and ask that you please bear with us.

We apologize for all inconvenience that you may experience while we are working on improving the system, and hope that you continue to give us feedback so that we can make Minitokyo the best community it can possibly be.

Thank you!

I really think that showing how many credits and dl quota we have left is better

Ok, I think here is how I figure out the system, the -XX number means the number of images your have downloaded within the 24 hours period, and if you have already used the FDQ, it will show further on how many images you have already downloaded...so it seems.
I am not sure about mine but it shows -30, cause I kept testing it by downloading doujinshis, so i know when my limit has been reached. Apparently it also adds up, once you download, -X + -1 = your current amount of downloads.

Just pure speculation, if there is a clear format I am willing to learn about it. Anyway, glad that the place is really putting Minitokyo Credit system to good use. I am glade to finally use my credits lol. Thanks.

Dl quota will be shown you only have 5 now. Credits are nothing to worry about since unless you have lower then 128 it won't show.

This system with the showing when low stuff tottally sucks!and whats with the idea of reducing the FDQ from 30 to 5!mt is becoming ...with all these dumb new ideas!

Hmm I had 5 free downloads showing and I was surfing the forum and posting when my credits dropped from 13 to 12...Eh what did I do? I did not touch any download button before the drop in credit. I am new so kind of lost........

from 30 to 5...wow, harsh lmao well why don't you look at this the other way. People liked the FDQ because they could dl walls without spending credits and then comment. It doesn't really bother me but that's one big move you guys made.
I still want to see ALL of my credits and I don't see how you will reduce the importance of them by not showing what I have earned. Those credits are mine and I think I have a right to see them.

Only 5 Downloads?! This is not fair...... =(
I post nice scans, but can download only 5 scans... ! Sorry guys..but this is the worst idea till now. I think many people will leave this side now.

I mean there are so many nice scans and only 5 for download....this must be a bad joke.... :( ~_~ >=(

Spend your credits, 5 isn't your download limit. But I guess people really do feel better when downloading something for free and not spending the credits.

@ Dioma

Yes I know, but I do not like offer my credits. ^^
Some scans cost almost 5 credits and this is much. Maybe it is true, that some guys have only downloaded scans all the time without to pariticipate in the community.....but can this system be changed for the members who do ? I mean, that members who post scans and all the stuff in the forum get "Extra quota"?

No, thanks to you for finally answering the "why?" question <.< Though, I still don't see in what hiding our credits is fair... I'll live with it though, even if I don't quite agree with the reason. As I said, I hate being kept in the dark.

And finally a good change, it was about time you guys reduced the free download quota! Now at least the credit system has a reason to be.

...umm..I'm not sure how the Credits and the DQ thing works...mine are showing how much I have, but does that mean they're low? like...i'm not sure what they're supposed to be used for either ^^; ... I have 105.5 credits and 3 DQs...is that bad?..or decent?.....please respond so I can understand what the Credits and DQs are for...

Thnx a bunch!<3 [please PM/GB me about this]

To all those that are complaining this new move was implemented to thwart those leechers that abused the free DL quota. It is unfair for these leechers to get away with these actions without contributing to the forum in any such manner. For those of you who do not like spending credits. If you participate in the community in general you will earn back the credits you spend. Furthermore although there is no limit to how much you can DL you shouldn't be going crazy DL anything and everything you like.

wow, i was about to say..mines is pretty low @_@..BUT~! IF I HAVE TO WAIT, THEN I'LL WAIT~! *^-^* THANKS MODS~! needed it to be cleared 4 me

I'd like to see how this will turn out in the end. Let's see if reducing download quotas will actually get more people involved or if it will encourage more complaints/more people leaving. Or it might encourage more spamming in forums. I would have to say, that MT changed A LOT since I first joined and there haven't been many positive changes to be honest.
