I understand where you're coming from sidd and I don't mean to come at you as I doubt it was solely your decision, you were just the one who posted it. But if the post says "1 participation" then it means that they just have to post in the thread. If the post says "Participation must be on topic" then you avoid this altogether. Not giving the users who did just say "give participation tpe" their 1 TPE is like going back and changing the rules after it's already done and we should not be supporting that as a league.
It's a point task, it's not an activity check, it's an obvious point task with a briefing and something to write about. I think we can and should expect at least a tiny bit of reading and thinking about what you do in PTs since that has always been the case. Of course people can go ahead and define every single thing what people are expected to do for a minimum amount of participation but is this really who we think we should be? You are part of this league, you want to get something, then do something for it. If a user wants to phone it in, sure go ahead, there are places like activity checks where you literally have to do nothing but say "hey, I'm here", but we should be able to expect to at least have a tiny bit of thought about basic things like that.
Then again we live in a world where a hot coffee you ordered has to say "CAUTION HOT" on the cup so what do I know.
Interestingly enough probably 90% of the people understood the directions and participated I guess?
