Hi, great post, I know how I always vote on the chaska meter but I have never understood the actors rank going up or down, how do I get to vote for that or who determines that? A good healthy forum is where you can exchange differing viewpoints, ideas and creative posts; the ones that are just stirring the pot trying to get a response or noticed, the ones that really have nothing intelligent to say and mention other serials, the ones trying to polarize the audience, are doom and gloom etc. its as simple as ignoring them.
When small people try to get attention, the easiest way to make it go away is to treat them like they're insignificant, its the worse thing to feel that no matter how hard you're trying to get attention, no one cares. What are they going to do if nobody responds to their posts, argue or comment against their own post lol? Sure we can read them to see if its worthwhile or not, but if its a useless post, just move on to the next one. After you see a lot of ppl viewing the post but no comments, imagine the slap in the face they feel, that they're unimportant, just little bugs.Instead of reinforcing their behavior (like you would do to a 3 yr old child trying to make them learn a lesson) by staying quiet, it sends a stronger message, no need to feed their ego. I know its not easy when you read a stupid post, you just want to put them in their place but by resisting the temptation and showing some restraint and patience, you feel less stressed/angry, just laugh 😆Anyways, true SC fans, just keep watching, supporting and promoting the show positively, that's all we can do!>> Thank you for your detailed input with additional points. Reg. your first question, I am looking into it. I am a bit curious to know how all this works. I think the show will do really good, thanks to tons of input from forum members here. I bet what we write is read, cos I can sense we are heard. What really bothers me is why does our cast ranking not improve, despite so many followers and well wishers?What are the factors really affecting the ranking system.I agree, never reply to the trouble makers. Unfortunately, some of our members panic and get into their trap. I feel like such posts are made by some crazy trouble makers. These people waste our time increase the visibility of their show, create a fight and are gone. They land up diving our forum members and we continue arguing on matters not related to our show.I have noticed that the SC forum members are classy and are unable to give back in a rude way. They spend a lot of time trying to convince the trouble maker politely, thus wasting their time and diverting from the real issues. That time could well be spent on writing about our show and the cast members. In case, one of us gets carried away and lands up arguing, another forum member should post a reminder to ignore the post and move on. I have posted such reminders a couple of times.
