POP REEL RANT




RANT #1




The Pop Reel is supposed to be an achievement, do you call getting 2 diamonds and a few views an "Achievement? This has come to concern me because 2 diamonds isn't enough for the pop reel. Not to say there not good posts, but getting 2 diamonds deserve to be a pop reel achievement? I wouldn't link it in the post WE GTO THE POP RELL when thereo s 2-3 diamonds.


RANT #2




I have noticed that any mod, blog or project which people have flagged, or its name is to obvious that it's spam or a post thats broke the rules, gets on the Pop Reel?! PMC Moderators should improve this because it's putting rule breaking in the spotlight. Ito s bad publicity for PMC






RANT #3




I Have posted a few blogs, and i have got 5 views and 1 comment. Why? Because of the pop reel. People generally do not look down at the other o stuffo . It's unfair and whenever someone popular with many subscribers posts a blog they get 20 Million diamonds and views. I've seen good blogs and projects and they get 1 diamond and a handful of views as well. Some well-known bloggers post a bad blog and They STILL get 20 diamonds and the pop reel. It's unfair.

There are now a lot of blogs of the similar subject i.e. Anti-bullying and How to get on the Pop Reel (Io m not against the anti-bullying blogs, ito s just annoying). Make your own blogs guys! Repeating a subject over and over again is pretty boring!Make it about what you want to write about! 'Cause seeing 3 blogs about anti-bullying in the Pop Reel isn't very interesting.

Another reason some good blogs don't get the Pop Reel is because of timing. Lets say you post a blog when 5,000 people are on. You'll get around 2-3 views. But when 11,000 people are on you'll get 5-10 views, only if the blogs not that bad. If people start to Diamond, lets say you get 5 Diamonds, you'll (if not the Pop Reel) get quiet a bit more views, a few more diamonds, and, if you've got the right amount of diamonds...

THE POP REEL!

When you do it this way, and get 5-7+ diamonds, I think it is fine to get the Pop Reel.

think blogging pop-reel is bad? try the projects one. compare this build (my own, no pop reel) with this one (pop reel). the pop-reel one has less of everything (diamonds, views, and stuffl like that), yet it got onto pop-reel. (while you're at it, please diamond and download my project, to get it to the place where it belongs)

I have to say, this was an old blog and since I rarely go on PMC anymore (I did even quit MC but I still resort to it sometimes). This was an ongoing problem for a few months "back in the day"/2012. The issue has been resolved somehow (As said before I haven't been on for a while, but it seems to have gotten better somehow). Diamonding unfairly and Pop Reel Projects (that includes blogs, skin, texture packs etc.) that have 3 diamonds on them and barely any effort are 2 completely different things, but since one may cause the other you got them mixed up.

BY the way your PMC server project contest is absolutely AMAZING, and I diamonded it it (I don't like downloading projects I can clearly see the whole thing.

For that other project on the POP Reel, I have had this theory that some peoples expectations of what to see on PMC are really low, so whenever a moderately good project comes up on the POP reel, they diamond it.

Please don't TL;DR just so we love not fight (not literally)

Thank you for the elaborate explanation and the diamond. I did indeed notice the change in the Pop-Reel after a while, but I never really bothered with it until noticing the Asymetry in what posts got on and which ones didn't. and don't worry, I'm not gonna start a flame war on this. I'm old and wise (hear, hear) enough to know it has no results and leads only to impopularity.

What? I'm old and wise as well but I can't hear because of the flame wars in my head. Would the little children give it a break! Next thing I'll go deaf!
