the only reason the current punishment is tourney bans is because fotepx and teamx were being dumbasses back in 2010/early 11.
i agree with JD about using positive reinforcement to encourage tourney completion. we just need to set a reward as "you will get one/# of X for every Y tourney(s) you host". perhaps use some sort of currency, and have contributions earn virtual "money" that you can redeem to get a variety of things? (user titles, username colors... that sort of thing. maybe trovs action cam can be purchasable under this system as well)
I like this. I like this a lot.
To further on this point, there could be a purchasable thing called "Change User Title" and the person could change their titles, or "Change Username Color" so the person could change their name colors (make sure it's a color that isn't Admin, Roboteer, Glomod, etc), and maybe (for a ton of credit points) a "Change Username"; self explanatory. Some of the other purchasable items could include exclusive arenas, Trov's action cam, Tutorials of whatever made by whoever (Skinning; SD, Efficiency+; Naryar/inf/sage/whoever else, DSL IRL; SD, VB, I don't want to play favorites here) and so on.
Could be fun.
eeeh you shouldnt have to purchase tutorials. those are so that you can further your skill in ra2 when you start out, and odds are that when you start you will have little to no interwebs dollas.
i have come up with some items and actions you can do to earn more $$$
Change username color* ... $500
Change title* ... $750 for text title, $1250 for an image
Add a new smiley* ... $1250
Action Cam ... $1500
Enable longer signature ... $2 x character
Change username ... $2500
$ = whatever form of "currency" we decide on.
* = rules would have to be enforced on what you could change it to/add, ie no goatse/tubgirl, no admin title/color
how to earn money:
Showcase a robot ... $10 x new bot**
Write a tutorial ... $25-200 (depending on quality)
Host a challenge ... $50 x participant
Host a tourney ... $10 x match
Release AI pack ... $5 x new bot***
(and possibly some other possibilities as well)
**("new" meaning that it isnt just a reskin or tweak of an earlier bot, and "bot" being an actual creation, not just a giant dsa chassis with nothing in it)
***new bot made by the maker of the pack (as in they wont get $ for other people's creations)
in essesnce its just the contributor contest 24/7. of course as much as trov is a cool guy and all, we would need more than trov (hes busy enough) to moderate the outflow of money, AKA someone who wont just give themselves 9 million grand and leave everyone else out.
dunno weather some of these are able to be implemented or not, but i still think its a pretty cool idea
