Dear users:
Since receiving feedback from media and users all over the country on Tencent QQ's "online duration", Tencent attached great importance to it and immediately carried out the optimization and adjustment of the "online duration" scheme. On July 25th, after we published the "Draft for Soliciting Opinions on Online Time Adjustment Plan" in the forum, users responded enthusiastically. On the basis of extensively soliciting users' opinions and referring to scientific statistical data, Tencent will officially launch the "QQ online plan with active days as the unit" on August 15th, 25. (For details, please see: /qq/mo.shtml? Time.htm)
The new scheme optimizes the "online time calculated by hours" to "calculated by days", which can maximally avoid the phenomenon of hanging up under the condition of maintaining the original interests of users. In a responsible attitude towards society and netizens, Tencent hopes that the adjustment of this scheme can objectively guide netizens to surf the Internet in a green and healthy way and advocate energy-saving awareness. Tencent thanks users for their long-term concern and suggestions. The final adjustment of the scheme also reflects the good interaction between enterprises, users and the media. Tencent sincerely looks forward to the continued support of netizens.
In addition, through the feedback from users, we have recently discovered some online websites that cheat users to fill in their user names and passwords. Here, Tencent also solemnly reminds users: For the sake of your password security, please don't fill in any information about QQ on non-Tencent websites to ensure the safe use of personal accounts.
thank you again for your long-term concern and support for Tencent.

\ Power consumption of 57 kwh for QQ upgrade? Tencent responded that it would change the rating calculation method
----------------------. V.
Tencent's response: On August 15th, the online calculation method was adjusted to avoid energy waste by users.
This newspaper (reporter Chen Mo She Jin) "My child recently turned off his computer every night in order to improve his QQ level, but we said he wouldn't listen. How much electricity is wasted. " In recent days, this newspaper has received many complaints reflecting that QQ software induces users to fail to turn off the computer, resulting in a waste of electricity. It is reported that if QQ is to be upgraded to the highest level, it will cost 57 kWh of electricity, and the electricity bill is as high as 344 yuan.
In response to parents' queries, Tencent Company responded that it will change its rating calculation method in the near future, so that users can avoid unnecessary power consumption behavior when hanging up.
Phenomenon
I don't turn off my phone for p>24 hours, but it's only the QQ level
"Our school belongs to my highest QQ level, and my classmates envy me." Xiao Han, a senior two student in a middle school in Shenzhen, proudly told reporters: "I am the first QQ in our school to reach the' Sun' level."
Xiao
Han explained that since the end of last year, Tencent's new version of QQ has launched a new function of accumulating online time to obtain the corresponding QQ level. As long as users use QQ, whether they are online, invisible, away from the state, or log in to QQ with their mobile phones, they are included in the online time. The lowest level is a star (level 1), four stars can be upgraded to a moon (level 4), and four moons can be upgraded to a sun (level 16). At the sun level, users can change QQ avatars at will, without having to choose only from the avatars provided by Tencent, and at the same time enjoy the privilege of establishing a permanent QQ chat group. Originally, you had to pay 1 yuan QQ members every month to "enjoy".
"In order to upgrade my level as soon as possible, my computer was always turned on 24 hours at first. Later, when my mother found out, she told me not to turn it off, saying it was too power-consuming. I'll ask my cousin Shen Da to hang it for me. " For the sake of virtual rank and privilege, netizens like Xiao Han who are keen to hang QQ on their computers are very common.
Investigation
It takes 57 kWh to hang up the "Sun"
The formula of the upgrade time given by Tencent is: the cumulative online time required for the nth level = 5 (n× n)+15n (hours), so it takes 152 hours to hang up a sun (level 16), which is 63.3 days. The average desktop computer consumes one degree of electricity every three hours. To get a moon, you need to be online for 14 hours and consume 47 degrees of electricity; For the "sun" after 152 hours, it will consume 57 kWh. The electricity charge in Shenzhen is .68 yuan per kilowatt-hour, which means that this "sun" is worth 344 yuan. This does not include computer depreciation, internet access fees and other expenses.
For the purpose of launching QQ level, Tencent said that it is "an attempt to refine the service and enhance the user experience. Users can gain the accumulation of points while using QQ for communication and entertainment, which is somewhat similar to the value-added service of bank cards and air miles' points system'." For this explanation, some insiders analyzed that this is more to increase the number of online users of QQ, so that Tencent can get more advertising revenue. "Many people stay online for a long time for QQ level, so the pop-up and page views of advertisements will increase."
in the context of power crisis all over the country, does this practice of Tencent lack social responsibility?
"This is a pure waste of national power." The person in charge of Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau told reporters that the power supply situation in Shenzhen this year is the most serious year in history, and the power grid load has set a new record for four times this year, reaching an astonishing figure of 7.228 million kilowatts. "The government has to turn off the lighting project, and even requires all departments to control the air conditioning temperature above 26 C, while Tencent encourages users to hang up the Internet for a long time, causing unnecessary power consumption, which is not appropriate."
According to the information released by Tencent, by the end of 24, QQ had more than 24 million registered users, more than 7 million active users and more than 5 million simultaneous online users. Even with 5 million users, if they are all upgraded to "Sun" members, * * * will consume 2.535 billion kWh. At the beginning of this year, the Three Gorges Power Station announced that it planned to generate 48.6 billion kWh this year, with an average of 133 million kWh per day. In other words, it will consume 19 days' electricity for these QQ users to fail the grade.
Response
Tencent will change the rating calculation method
Mr. Qu, the public relations department of Shenzhen Tencent Company, told reporters that most netizens open QQ while working or surfing the Internet, and it is very rare for netizens to deliberately hang up, so it is difficult for the company to agree with the statement of "wasting electricity".
at the same time, he said that at the beginning of launching QQ's "online time rating service", Tencent did not expect that some netizens would hang up unnecessarily in order to upgrade. Hang-up is an online behavior under abnormal use for a long time in order to upgrade, which Tencent absolutely disapproves of.
Tencent said that it will officially launch the new QQ online planning scheme on August 15th. The new scheme will change the way of calculating the duration from the original "in hours" to "in active days", so as to avoid unnecessary online upgrade for some users.
after the implementation of the new scheme, users can count as an active day as long as they are online for 2 hours on the same day, and get corresponding points; If a netizen hangs up for 16 hours or more a day, he can only get one active day. Tencent said, "This scheme will be able to avoid the hang-up phenomenon in unconventional use state to the maximum extent under the premise of safeguarding the original interests of users."

QQ cancels the QQ rating system and only counts "active days". Tencent QQ online time rating new rules
Dear users:
Thank you for your long-term concern and support for Tencent. Tencent has always paid attention to continuously improving service measures and improving service quality. In October 24, we launched QQ "Online Duration Level Service". It can be said that "online duration rating service" is an attempt to refine our service and strengthen the user experience. It is a value-added service similar to the "point system" of bank cards and air miles. The original intention is to give back to core active users.
with the further implementation of the service, we regret to find that some users have misunderstood our measures, and very few users have been on-line for a long time in an unconventional use state in order to obtain the upgraded service. Here, we remind netizens that Tencent has always advocated users to surf the Internet in a green and healthy way and enjoy online services in a benign way, and does not approve of any behavior of exchanging online time in the form of hanging up.
At the same time, in order to create fairer and more perfect services for users, Tencent will adjust the calculation method of duration appropriately. (For details, please refer to the attachment) If you have any better suggestions, please give us feedback by calling the hotline 755-83765566 or directly in this forum. The feedback time is July 29th.
once again, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the users for their support to Tencent. Tencent will, as always, pay attention to user value, take user value as the basis, and constantly improve product quality and service level.

I. Concept of "active days"
What is "active days"?
"active days" means that if a user uses QQ for more than a certain period of time on that day, we consider that the user is active in using QQ on that day, and will add one day to his active days.
why put forward the concept of "active days"?
according to the statistics of CNNIC, the average Internet user in China uses the Internet for 3 to 4 hours every day. QQ "Active Day" is set to be an active day that exceeds 2 hours. Using the concept of "active days" instead of "hours" can fairly reflect the user's activity on QQ.
ii. calculation of "active days"
referring to various statistical data, the calculation of "active days" is defined as follows:
on the same day (: -23: 59), you use QQ for 2 hours (and more than 2 hours) and accumulate 1 active day.
on the same day (: -23: 59), use QQ for .5 hours (including .5 hours) to 2 hours, accumulating .5 active days.
those who use QQ for less than .5 hours on the same day (: -23: 59) will not accumulate active days.
3. FAQ
1. Will the stars and the sun disappear after the adjustment of the grade calculation method?
A: no, this adjustment is only to adjust the calculation method of duration, and the expression form will not be modified, and the user's star sun will not be reduced, let alone disappear.
2. Will my rank be lowered after the conversion?
A: no, there will be no change in the user's current level. for example, if a user is currently at level 16, it will still be at level 16 after adjustment, and the hours being upgraded will still be converted into full days and will not be lost.
3. After adjustment, will the permissions of Sun users be cancelled?
A: No, Sun users still have the current rights to open a group and customize their avatars, and users who have joined Sun (level 16) after adjustment still have the above rights.
4. after adjustment, even if I am online for 16 hours a day, will I only accumulate one day for my "active days"?
A: yes, only for one day. But remind you to take a rest and surf the Internet healthily:)
5. If I get online at 11: 3 pm and get offline at 1: 3 pm, how can I count my active days?
A: our server will count the online time of users in a certain period of time. The part before 11: 59 is included in the cumulative time of active days of the previous day; After : , count the accumulated time of active days for the next day.
6. What will happen to the performance of the old client after adjustment?
A: after this adjustment, the hierarchical representation of the stars, the moon and the sun remains unchanged. However, users of the old version can't see the online time and remaining hours on their qq panel, so they need to click the star and sun logo to enter the page to check the active days. So, remind you to upgrade the new version:)
The online time required to accumulate to the nth level can be calculated by the following formula: the online time required to accumulate to the nth level = (n 2+n)/2+3
In short, after the QQ version of BATA3 comes out, it will not be , but how many days are left. It only takes 2 hours to log on QQ for one day.
