Some of these have already been mentioned, others not, but I thought I'd put it here since I suggested it in nexialys's thread when he was making a point system:
1) Allow people to buy the points/cash via paypal.
2) Allow people to cash out on their points/cash via paypal: set a rate via acp- every 1000 points = 1 dollar or whatever you want.
3) Allow people to donate/transfer points to other members on the site (which you've already done)
4) Integrate this with the Thanks System (e.g. receive a Thanks, get a Point) and maybe groan system (lose a point...can be abused, so IDK)
5) When a member has received so many points, they are "promoted" to another usergroup.
6) Have an option for the points/credits to expire. Such as, after x months of inactivity on the site, start having a deduction in points (which is set via ACP). Sort of like old gift cards that you would buy from circuit city. If you have it for 1 year, you start losing 5 bucks off the card after every month until all the money is gone.
Like I said, I know I already mentioned about buying points, but cashing in on points would be great because it would be nice to give back to my community if they work hard :P
I know I'm prolly asking a ton, so I'm sorry. I know you PM'ed me about the paid version, but I'm willing to pay more depending on how much the paid version is, if these options are put into place.
