I would much rather have a daily cap on total coins earned from replies than have a 5- or 10-minute...
I agree with you all,the 10 minute wait is ridiculous imbetween each gold coin you can earn.I’m finding myself on here less and less.I check back now and again to see if it’s been rectified.If it stays like this I wont bother to be honest
The answers remain the same, 10 coins every 10 minutes, the new rules should say, so everyone is informed
Plus we now only get 1gc for 10 space visits a day and first 10 greetings.. going to be hard for newbies to collect coins, esp as the pattern prices are also capped and rewards for posting patterns seems to have gone down.
I agree about the discouraging time set for earning gold coins. That said, i must say that I felt upset ultimately seeing some comments that have nothing to do with the thread in order to earn gold coins, like someone askingfor advices and various people answering with a “thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern”, it seems some few people paste the same answer without reading the thread just to get coins. Don’t misunderstand me though, I have nothing against this type of answer - that I also use - when it is done with honesty in the right context. I wonder if may be the restrictions have something to do about this behaviour.

oh I didn't even realize there was a 5 min time out! I just wondered why I wasn't earning coins for replying but didn't think too much.

I totally agree with this. It may also have something to do also with this whole issue, but there must be another way to discouraged this kind of behaviour. Restricting gold coins kinda defeat the whole purpose of the pattern section
Maybe I'm not understanding the situation but here's how I see it.
Everyone has a limited amount of free time and users are choosing to spend it here on this site. To limit the amount of coins we can earn to maximum 60 per hour is like punishing the very people this site is for. Let's be honest; there is no other site on the web like this. Some users have been here for 10+ years and are still active. Most people are not going anywhere anytime soon. Some have even found friends and community here. If somebody chooses to spend their limited personal time by browsing the site, commenting, and downloading patterns, I don't feel they should be limited in this way. I don't know how the site owner earns money to keep the site running, but they will have no shortage of users any time soon. People will continue to spend time on the site as long as the changes aren't too harsh.
Additionally, the rate at which users earn coins and the cost of downloading patterns creates a mini economy. If it becomes drastically more difficult to earn coins, users will hold on to their coins longer and only spend for really special patterns. It will eliminate people doing cute things like leaving red envelopes on their profiles and sending coins to friends or newcomers because they are so much harder to earn. It will be more difficult to afford patterns that were posted long ago (when coins were easier to earn), with prices above 200 coins. It is way too much work for mods to edit the price of previously posted patterns to equalize and make old pattern costs more fair. Users will want to post patterns at high costs to make up for this deficit, which in turn will make the problem worse...So, changing the rate at which coins can be earned messes up a lot of stuff at once!
Personally, I have been a member of the site for less than 6 months. There is a very warm and personable vibe from the community here. There is genuine human interaction that is difficult to find on any social media site. This community should be protected. But I have hardly been visiting the site since the 10 coins per 10 minute change. I'm sure lots of other users feel the same. It would be so sad to see users leaving the site because of this change, because who has time to sit and comment every 10 minutes to maximize their gold coins? I predict it will discourage users, particularly new users, from settling here as a long-term active user and will end up backfiring on the site owner and what they are trying to achieve with this change.
Thank you to Turquoise and all the mods who are fighting for the users of this site! We appreciate you!
Five minutes is better than 10, but it's still too long to wait for the coins.
I find waiting 10 minutes bothersome so I make comments on 1 item and then afterward when and if I have time to check for hourly award I make a comment on a second post. But it's making everything difficult and I definitely spend less time on the site and don't interact often as I used to do.
I would suggests the moderators rephrase the information on how to get coins so that it is updated correctly.
Yes, def agree with KPV that all the tutorials etc need to be updated. Most newbies find it confusing to navigate the site as is. And it is kind of sad, but I too now spend much less time in the forums, if I remember I collect my hourly reward and quickly see what is new, but no more „you did a great job, thanks for sharing“ because well life happens .. it will be sad to see the community feeling suffer but I guess it’s about revenue more than anything.
