Is there or can someone create a way for the following to happen?
A user(u1) refers two new users (u2)&(u3) to the site.
For every post that (u2) or (u3) makes, a tally(refered posts?) is given to (u1).
User (u2) refers user (u4).
For every post that user (u4) makes a tally is given to (u2) and (u1).
I would like this to be seperate from the users own post count.
The idea stems from a way to not only encourage users to refer new users, but refer quality users and continue to encourage them to be active members of the board. I see it like a pyramid scheme. User (u1) gets "points" for every post someone he refers makes. The tree continues down the line of referals. Damn, I wish I could explain it more clearly.
If possible, integration with a points system (uCash/uShop) would be great.
I think that it would be extremely useable and help a lot of forums out with gaining and retaining memberships and forum content.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Please bear in mind I am not a programer or coder, just a guy with an idea. Feel free to tell me it's impossible.
Thanks in advance!!
P.S. When this wins hack of the month, please mention me in your acceptance speech. J/K
