Your Ideal Points System!
 

I'm working on a simple points system for vB3 beta 5. (will probably port to beta 6...)

So far I have the following features/options:

Each forum has separate settings for # of points given for a newthread/newreply.

Points for individual users can be modified in their profile in the adminCP.

Points are displayed in the postbit and member profile.

Admins have the option to 'freeze' a user's points count, so their points don't increase when they post.

Donation system:
- 6 vBoptions settings: frozen users can donate, frozen users can be donated to, banned users can be donated to, minimum # of points in donation required for transaction to go through, maximum # of points in donation required for transaction to go through, Send PM notification for donation...

Some of those ^ are yes/no options and the max/min options require you to set the minimum and maximum ;).

I'm in need for ideas on how a user can gain more points, please post your ideas!

How about x points every x days. Shouldn't be too hard;)

What are these points going to be used for?

maybe give the option to give specifc users 1.5x or 2.0x for better members just like freeze

For any point system, I feel it should be done by how long you've been a member. Some members only post now and then but what they have to say is gold compared to other members who post "LOL" and they receive points for that? Rubbish I say, but that's just me.

So, you get extra points by posting messages? Or haven't you decided how they get points yet?
