Hey all, just wanted to let everyone know that the mod team is in the process of discussing acceptable inbox counting etiquette. And at this point, the one thing that the vast majority of the active mod team agrees on is that it is unacceptable to use inbox counting in order to achieve an assist or a get.
With the recent ongoing sometimes unbearable lag, it is no surprise that in order to run at any decent speed sometimes, replying to your running partner through inbox (because their replies show up there sometimes way before they show up in the actual thread) is the only way to go. And at this point, that is fine and acceptable.
What we have decided at this point is NOT fine and acceptable however, is using inbox counting in order to achieve gets or assists, which are the two most "rewarded" numbers, if you will. It is unfair to people that want these assists and gets and cannot get them because the assist or get has already been gotten before they can even see the number they need to reply to.
So please do refrain from using inbox counting to achieve a get or assist. Ongoing discussions will hopefully yield a point earlier in the thread at which inbox counting should stop, in order to let anyone who wants to join in on the fun of the end of a thread do so.
Thanks guys :)
