I would just like to say that I really don't like level triggers. They are very impersonal and spam everyone that actually would like to keep their gratz channel turned on. I like getting personal congratz via the gratz channel and think it adds to the atmosphere of BR for people to be able to see the gratz channel. If you honestly ask yourself whether or not you read the triggered gratzes most of you will say no. Now ask yourself if you would rather receive an occasional personal congratulations from someone who took 5 seconds to type it up. Most of you know you would. I keep getting told to turn off my gratz channel if I don't like it, but I don't want to. I like getting personal congratz. I really think that if the gratz channel is being turned off by a lot of people because there is too much spam that it is being misused. I think I'm going to post a poll on this message. Please, respond to this topic.

Gratz Level Triggers
My opinions is not on the list... I have the gratz channel on and I also like gratz messages; although, one of my pet peeves is the triggers. I don't see why people have triggers if they can just type one up themselves. One person that I asked said that they want to congratulate everyone (like they know them 
) to make them feel somewhat special or whatever. Some of the people doesn't even care if they are congratulated--so great, the new comers feel good about it *brilliant eyes watching the colorful messages* but after a week it's getting pretty old *eyes cowering as the blinding lights come on*. To end this point, I'd rather prefer a personal message like Nest said.
>>I don't want to turn off my channel cause I like how my friends congratulate me sometimes.
** It's pretty much impossible to force everyone to do this (considering some imms also like the idea of this leveling triggers) so if I can at least ask the people who are usually playing two characters to turn off the trigger on one of them cause it lessens the spam even a little.
I don't want this to be too long cause I also get bored reading long posts so I hope I got my point out.

It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world everday always just exactly fits in the newspaper.

i would prefer not to see triggers, and just have people use aliasses instead, so it's atleast a little more personal, has to be initiated manually. the only thing i REALLY hate though is when there are 2 triggers going off, from the same person using two different characters. most of the time, they don't even bother to use different gratz, so it's the exact same message twice. that, i just hate.

She is so bored that I can't keep up with her. I keep reading and then check for new posts and there is always one. Now I can't get my work done. Kiri you are going to get me in trouble.
