Bug with Minerals?

I noticed this about 2 days ago. Usually when I post (and this probably goes for everyone), I get a certain amount of minerals added to my total. Lately, I haven't been getting any minerals for anything I do. I thought that possibly I was banned from minerals, but I'm not suspended from anything, nor do I remember doing anything that would get me suspended. Has this happened to anyone else?



None.

All of your posts from the past two days have been in forums that do not supply minerals -- Null, for example.

Posts in forums such as Map Making Assistance and Map Showcase will get you minerals.



None.

Speaking of mineral-related bugs...

In the first days of v5, there was an option to not participate in the minerals system at all. That option set your mineral count to -200 but gave you basic functions like signature without the need to buy the in stores. Well, it appears that option is no longer available, but my minerals were never reverted back to 0. Now not only can I not get a signature image until my minerals slowly climbs back to the positives, but I am also unable to access and change my signature... Oi.

There is nothing wrong with the mineral system. I see the minerals everyone gets for every post and nothing is malfunctioning.

Again, this is not a bug. The option to not participate displays "N/A" for your mineral count. Both new members as well as those leaving that system are supposed to start with negative minerals. Nothing is malfunctioning here, either.

It does seem a little bit harsh, like what happened to me...
I purchased signature and avatar, reset it to 0, and it died...
LOL, my bad, but still... pricey...

Guess that's a "Feature" then, not a bug. My bad.



None.

Hurray for features, then?

I haven't noticed any list of what gives minerals and what doesn't... is it possibly a way to deter people from spamming a particular place? =P Well anyhow it'd be nice to have a list to clear up confusion. [edit: nm, I found the FAQ. Somehow I just figured it'd be easy to find in the forums... maybe I missed it.]

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

UndeadStar shouted: https://staredit.net/topic/18961/ <= wow, if there wasn't a capital letter on almost every word in the title, and a link in the signature, I may not have guesses it's an AI bot. I don't know much about map editing, but the content may even be relevant enough to be kept.
Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
