i used to be in a forum where there was this point system, i forgot how you got them, i think like every post you did or something... but anyway, you could trade them to other people too... so why dont we have that? i want that... its good for game prizes and such...

And what type of prizes do you have in mind?
Do you mean like the little prizes they have on other MB? Like when you got points and then you bought these little pixel gifts and you could give them to other people? I mean if your just talking pixel gifts then I wouldn't really care. I would have to be something Jusun would have look into though. |

So the points are just there to show you won games?

no the points are like money kinda...
you get, lets say 1-10 every post, you can give as many as you want any time to any user, you can give some to users who win your game, make you something by request (pictures, layouts, ex.) all that stuff! i dont remember how you actually got them in the old forums... |

okay so i shall break this down, on certain forums you get a point for like every 3 post or something like that, or 10 points for starting a topic, then there is a prize thread where there is a list of prizes and their worth of points, then if you have enough points you win a prize, some prizes can be domains, hosting [I know 25+layouts but not everyone can make layouts] maybe a 10 dollar gift card to an online place, idk its up to whoevers in charge to come up with prices and prizes

i dont know, i dont know much, let the mods work the whole system out if they adopt this idea! i guess you get a point every legal post! 5 for starting a topic! they're like money! i guess you can give, like, 5000 away or something for a domain, i dont know, its not my place to make rules for the domains... but you can give a certain amount to another user for winning the game you made or having them make you something! thats the main point for points!

Blogring is dead now. |

so? a point system sounds like a cool and fun idea!
why do you always knock me off? im sure thats not what killed it... maby make the whole system optional, like how many posts a user sees in a page! just have the ability to turn it on or off! |

QUOTE(Splek @ Jun 22 2008, 03:09 PM)  why do you always knock me off? Don't worry, it's not like I'm trying to bash on you. Anyway, I remember someone else suggested some sort of point/prize system a while ago, but I don't remember the reasoning behind why they never implemented it.Which reminds me, where the hail is the arcade after all this time? QUOTE(Splek @ Jun 22 2008, 03:09 PM) im sure thats not what killed it... You're right, they just sucked. |

I don't like this. I feel like it will just encourage people to spam and make pointless posts to gain points. As in "yeah." "i agree" "no". cB is full of enough annoying douches we don't need to encourage more.

i don't think most people who post in the community center would even want something like a domain.
why don't we just post to be posting instead of trying to win imaginary prizes. |

I think this would be a bit pointless... I know Splek means for these points to be like money, but I still don't see how this will be beneficial to anyone.

Haha at least you have more than 2 posts a day! I signed up in 2005 but never really posted until now, and my post/day won't move up from 0.5!!
But anyways, Rachel's right. This will just encourage spamming. I know you said people already spam, but add on points for posts and it'll be spammania on here. |

Well good for you but look around at the quality of a lot of members. We don't need to encourage people to post when their responses are useless and bring down the IQ of members. I just don't see the point in points in a community based (as well as layouts) forum. Unless there are enough designers to even maybe offer free graphics, it doesn't seem worthwhile.

well, its used for fun too
and, if there are any spammers, they could have to pay a fine of the points for doing it! like all they got from the spamming plus 10-30! |

i agree with rachel.
some general forums have monetary systems, but it's usually because they want to give incentive for people to post. cb already has an established community, and i doubt we would even make use of any monetary system. besides, i think it's also unfair to receive any type of 'cb' prizes (graphics, domains, or anything design/web-related) just by posting. i think the current system with submissions is already highly generous. |

^ lol uh honestly what else can you give as a prize over the internet? it's not like you'd actually be willing to buy a tangible object for said winner.
QUOTE(Splek @ Jun 22 2008, 09:43 AM) i meant the points could be USED as prizes for winning a forum game! (jeesh) "used" how exactly? some gamer forums have a points system that is implemented with an rpg system. other general community forums give "prizes" such as being able to change options that are not available to regular members, ie changing color/style of member title, lower mod priveleges, access to a vip lounge, but that's basically what being an official member is for on cb. so, what's the point of a point/monetary system on cb? essentially, the question is, what are you willing to give members when they reach a certain amount of points that is not already being given on cb? |
