Board Thread:Support Requests - Community Management/@comment-24383490-20160403141635

Hello.

I and Lord Kavpeny, the other bureaucrat responsible for the VsBattles wiki, have been considering to shut down our "leadership board", and made the suggestion to our community in the following thread:

http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:275471

The reasons for this are mainly twofold:

For one thing, our community is extremely dependent on content revision forum discussions, and there are no points rewarded for participating. Hence, a lot of members, including our admins and forum moderators, are discouraged from participating and helping out with input.

For the second, it rewards category additions above all else, which has led to recurrent massive spamming of unnecessary edits of this variety, that later have to be cleaned up, and overall make the recent changes harder to monitor.

However, as you can see in the above linked thread, some constructive editors have felt motivated to help out due to the board, so before shutting it off, I wonder if other administrators and bureaucrats have had experiences with this type of situation?
