Barring the fact that they may at some point be worth things of substance - I think at the moment doc dollars are a little too difficult to earn. Take for example the 10 doccents earned from someone viewing a thread you've created. That would mean if a thread you made got viewed 1000 times (seems impossible) then you would only get 100 doc dollars, which could easily be gotten from just posting a few crappy threads.
I think that you should get 100 times that amount. Instead of 10 doccents, why not 10 doc dollars period for every view. I mean it costs like 25,000+ dollars to raise your own reputation. Unless you've been given large amounts of cash from someone, or have been here posting like a maniac for years, you'll never get that much, especially with all the random things you might want to buy along the way. To make the doc dollar game more dynamic, I think it should be at least 10-100 times easier to get doc dollars, and I think that immunities should be non-existent. Where's the fun of getting 50,000 doc dollars, and then messing with other people's avatar's and names and whatnot, if people are just going to buy immunities? No fun whatsoever! Instead it just becomes a tool for the people who have been here the longest to mess with and discourage the people who are new to the forum.
Ok, now go ahead and tell me how wrong I am, and disagree with me. But ten doc dollars says that anyone who disagrees with me is simply someone with a bloated bank account. Look at the top richest people on this forum. There's no way anybody would ever be able to compete with that kind of doc dollar power unless it was easier to get doc dollars, easier to buy reputaiton, and then easier to actually mess around with others who have doc dollars. Right now the system works in practice, but the immunities completely ruin all the fun, and the severe limitations in getting doc dollars in the first place make it too hard.
I might as well make a thread called PUT SPAM HERE, and fill it up with a hundred thousand replies just to beef up our money.
And don't think that something like that is 'illegal' either! It's not spamming up the forum if it's one thread designed for it. It's just a money making scheme, like any other. If the semi-capitalist russbo mini economy is ever goign to do ANYTHING other than stagnate, there's going to have to be some new players, and some people willing to bend the rules.
Consider this post fair warning that the spam thread will be created shortly.
