vBPlaza home, Although looks like no ones home anymore
Such a shame...
But yeh auto system. Then maybe they request what they want and chris takes points off account etc.

yeah - might be worth having another Brandon type person though

Obviously credits won in competitions would have to be manual.

Yeh, I agree but then again does Chris do that much work he would need to hire someone else? The forums slowing down he doesn't even need an assistant right now

Fair point, depends what the lowest reward was (rep points maybe?) - could be a lot of requests, but maybe not actually.

I like the idea of this credits system. Could work really well if it's done correctly.

Credits won in comp being manual isn't an issue, since rep points won in a comp is exactly the same.

Biggest credit system, Used it previously but with a bit of stuff taken off it (thats pointless) it'd run good. if @Marketing; base's his brain on it, He would be a good person to maybe total up what you get per thing. personally getting points to vote in a poll. is silly.
should be like
posting - 5
thread - 6

As having more threads is better than posts (on the basis they mean something)
Obviously it shouldn't count for spam, annoucements and staff forum.

Woo! Just hire me ;l

Seriously though, you should create a thread bringing it up to get everyone involved in discussion.

Yeah, good point. Would be more rewarding too imo - gives people a choice.

should get 5 points for -repping @Martini-; for having a bad name

General activity on intervals - presumably that means logging in every so often within a certain time (eg. 10 points every time you log on)

Haven't really edited the options, but removed ones with are pointless from the above list.

Will look for other options (plugins) in a sec.

EDIT: Maybe 50,000 credits for having your forum idea implemented? You know, just since if it is implemented I would be off on a winning start :rolleyes: haha

Now we've got a good idea, Worst thing that could happen is someone (few people) get far more points than the rest. E.g if it calculated my posts. But then making goals too easy would be crap, Personally make them hard like the star system
