Podcast Media Points

Post by **WigNosy** » Fri Aug 25, 2017 3:45 pm

Currently limited to 2 points per podcast. Let's bring this in line with written articles.

Total points awarded: 6 minutes of podcast per participant earns 1 point for each participant.
Maximum points per participant: 5 points per podcast (matches article cap).

EXAMPLES:
A two-person podcast (e.g. Horns and Fangs) earns each participant 1 point per 12 minutes of podcast (full 5 points for anything one hour or longer).

A three-person podcast (e.g. Quail Balls on a Tray) earns each participant 1 point per 18 minutes of podcast (full 5 points for anything 90 minutes or longer).

A one-person solo podcast would earn 1 point per 6 minutes (full 5 points at half an hour or longer).

How do we split up guest appearances?

Not gonna lie, guest appearances are a real pain to manage/track.

How about the guest gets any points that would be earned above the 5 points per participant max (max 5 for thr guest). So if a 2-man podcast has a guest, the guest gets a point for every 12 minutes the pod goes beyond an hour. 90 minute podcast from 2 people plus guest get regulars 5 points (first 60 min) and 2 points for the guest (next 24 minutes, final 6 minutes dont grant points).

Why not just keep this simple? Do flat 5pts for participants. I dont think we've ever had a podcast for less than 45 minutes.

I also think we should have a volunteer position for podcast compiler/editor. Like Louie puts all the pods om a central location and sometimes adds music and stuff that adds value to the whole experience. It would be nice to reward that as well.

I don't need this. It only takes like 20ish minutes to edit them down and cut them anyway and that's even if I do it. Some ive left untouched or others have done it themselves. It's not a huge deal. I'd much rather focus on nailing down a good reward system for podcasters

I can probably come up with something for podcast uploads.

Really feels like we get to complex on simple stuff here. This isn't point at you by the way just was an easy quote.

If you do a podcast and it's 30 mins 5 points
If you're a guest for the whole thing. 5 points
If you just part of a segment 2 points

People who post or run the podcast post who was involved and whether it's a segment or the whole thing .

If you take advantage of it, no points.

This is way better. I don't listen to all of the podcasts, and I don't think I'm going to start tracking the time each person talks for either.

I also agree that when you post the podcast, this needs to be listed out, and if it comes out that you were trying to game the system, we'll just award 0 points.
