Phoenix Network Forums

Or perhaps have a small application form for mods to transfer points from one account to another..

Is there a list of what you can do with how many points?

Not yet, I think it's under some work.

If you were to ask me though, I doubt it would be under 15 points or over 50 points, depending on the service of course.

This point system is a very original way to make peole interest in this forum and the site...I`ve just read a few posts of this topic, and as a whole I noticed that people are able to do everything for free shell that`s why they`re going to post until they reach theit aim... . but however samobody said that is not a very good idea, because people who don`t know english well won`t be able to apply fot this free stuff, but for example my english is not very fluent and this posting in this forum is a very good method to work on its fluence {I`m not a very hardwoking students that`s why posting here seems to be a good idea}

Code: Select all

This is a more improved version of my suggestion. I really like where this is going. The idea of the points system is such an awesome way of telling who the helpers are. I believe this system will be very successful. I am just wondering who are the people responsible of creating and implementing this system? I'd like to thank you for working on this.

Sounds like a good system, are we going to have one for IRC too?

That would be grand, then they could work in conjunction.

Oh nice to see phoenix maked something good for that to get activity from users. That system for irc will be hard to make. But i think good idea about IRC too. ;-) So admins maybe will make some good.

I think the points system is a great idea,i mean myself like plenty of others im sure would and will continue to be here with or without a point system.

But i like it for the fact that some people like myself wont be using the points like crazy,so in affect they will build up a bit.

In the event that I or anyone else needs something extra they can get it with the points providing they have them.

In addition as its been said,if you dont have the points you can't take advantage of the services..

Great idea tim and i think it'll work fine,and even tho im not an expert at programming i agree with the donating points idea as well..

(Star)..

I hope it's okay to do some "gravedigging" in here =)

I really like the idea with the points... and it should not be too hard to integrate irc as well... at least from a technical point of few... just get an eggdrop to log the channel... but finding nice points-algorithms could be hard...

And I like fame idea from the linked thread as well... marking interesting/complicated/boring/senseless threads to influence their point value... (sounds a bit like slashdot) Although I see potential for manipulation there... like, if a user annoys me i mark al his posts as low as i can, or if i need points, I create some sockpuppets to praise me...

I don't see the big problem with giving points to friends... If a person is active enough to support more then one person, then so be it... Just means we have one very active person instead of two moderately active ones...
hm, instead of limiting how many someone can give, you could create two kinds of points, own and given, or something... i don't know WHAT you will be selling for the points, but i could imagine something like needing own points for a basic account(ensuring at least basic interaction with the community) but being able to buy "addons" with given points...

I'd like to know how the points are given, if the formula is not tooo complicated, but I'm uncertain if I really wanna see it posted here, as this might lead to people trying to find out the optimal way to ensure max points with min efford

Yes that's much better, thx 4 aLL
