don't mind me, sneaking a double post in here.

When people drop by and compliment the skin or various other elements of the site. It makes me feel as though me and my staff did a good job, thus I will be smiling behind the monitor, glad to hear the efforts of all contributions were worth the time.

When you remind someone to do their claims and they STILL don't do their claims; especially when it is the face claim which in my opinion is the most crucial. I tend to be pretty chill with letting people do their claims when they can, but if I have reminded the person 50 times and they still have not done it, it gets me one step closer to finally spend a lot of time changing the grouping algorithm for boards. I would likely change it to "Your group allows you to post in the boards, which you do not receive until after you fill out your claims" which I should have done from the beginning. In complete honesty, I do not mind people ignoring the other claims, but that face claim tends to be the one I want to be filled out immediately. x.x

Alternatively, if they don't claim their face and someone else tries to reserve it... heckin' just give it to the other person. Like, if you're arm wrestling people to do a thing that takes five whole seconds and they won't after weeks and weeks, then they don't deserve the spot. If they try to pitch a fit, point out the fact that their character was neither reserved nor claimed, and it's not staff's duty to fill out people's claims for them. *shrugs*

If you don't do your part, don't expect people to bend over backwards for you.

That is how my staff and I have planned to handle these situations, I just figured changing how the boards worked would possibly motivate people to actually do them since they could not role-play until completing the face claim at least. It just gets obnoxious having to tell people a million times, and at least with a grouping method, if they personally message me asking about why they can't post, I can respond with I need their claims filled out. I figured it would make it a bit easier so nobody throws a hissy fit at me; it's happened before since I am a nice, chill person and people sometimes think that means they can push me around.

Either way, I would provide similar reasoning since for most, this is common knowledge and under most circumstances, if the person is new to ProBoards, I help them out with navigation, posting, etc. until they get the hang of it; and even then, if I ask them to post in claims, they go do it.
