There was going to be a Space Flight Simulator MMO called Jump-gate Evolution ,but it got cancelled. Whats worse is that they canceled it the same way a mod maker would, by not updating the site and then randomly taking the site down. The devs also made a kickstarter for it under the name "squad wars", but I don't believe it reached its goal.
Also the fact that under admin qualifications post count is actually higher than playing on the server you're applying for baffles me.
Are you talking about the positioning of the requirement on the list?
I don't think it really matters.
It's also in bold and I was more using it as an example of how CG puts far to much emphasis on the importance of post count when it comes to admin applications. Also when something is on a checklist the top one is usually what is expected to be your top priority.
I think it should be there simply because nobody seems to read it, but yeah.
What about the people that skip over the thread all together?
If you know for a fact that innos who say they have killed a traitor when for example you have killed them, you can kos them.
They could have called them out or attacked them and not received the kill. Even if that weren't the case there are very few cases where you can be 100% certain and even then its still not kill-able.

For admins I do think forum activity should be highly encouraged and if you lack it should be considered a mark against you being admin. However admins should be encouraged to use the forums not for making a microscopic dent in ad revenue or to bring the community together ,but for the role it plays in admins doing their jobs(ban appeals etc).

I think forum activity should be a requirement for having admin and encouraged ,but I don't agree with the way its currently done. The post count rule gives people a specific goal they have to reach which causes spamming and furthermore HAs can go around this requirement so whats the point. Personally I think peoples forum activity should be judged the same way as server activity and by multiple factors like rule violations, quality of posts, maturity etc.
As for increasing the requirement there are a lot of people(aka me) that don't really post on forums and just read them for the most part. Also I don't really see any upside to increasing the limit from what it currently is, if you aren't fit for admin you aren't going to be voted in nor are you going to pass the HA's inspection.
