I can agree that "Qft" and other similar posts are spam, but they serve a fairly important purpose. That purpose being keeping threads alive for others to see. Would you be opposed to this system "bumping" a thread every x amount of +1's? How many +1's would it take to bump a thread?I don't know about that idea of "Approvals" bumping a thread. Let's say I let this thread get to the second page of the Community Forum, and then I "Approve" a post on the second page, thus bumping it for no reason.
Necrobumps would go unpunished as "Approvals" certainly wouldn't have dates on them ("CrazzySnipe55 approved this post." is a lot less cumbersome than "CrazzySnipe55 approved this post at 7:42 PM, PDT on July 15, 2012."), and even if they had dates asking Mods to search through pages upon pages of a thread (in some cases) would be silly and unrealistic. And if we don't prosecute necrobumpers like that (as it would probably become the preferred medium through which to do so as it is less intrusive and harder to get caught doing such), then we can't really prosecute those who necrobump. And spamming a thread with likes just to bump it would be one more thing we could no longer prosecute one entire area of rulebreakers.
I know it's an "it could be abused" argument, but I think it's a fairly realistic one to make, given the circumstances.

So what do you think of the logos idea?I think we should stick to the Destiny Logo and the Septagon, to be perfectly honest. Sure, it creates a sort of Horde V.S. Alliance dichotomy in that people will be somewhat divided by which one they choose, but it keeps things simpler while still allowing the average forumgoer one more choice to make.
Edit: the amount of people who read the thread topic and the first section and didn't read the actual idea itself is depressing to say the least.
