its in the first post.

The only thing u do with the points is have access to reply.

Say Member 1 has 20 points and Member 2 has 10 points
Now the only way to earn points is by making a new thread in a certain forum. You will get as many points as it is set to in the admin panel.

Say a new thread is 5 points. Now you have 5 points because u posted a new thread in a certain forum id that the point system is turned ON in.

Now for every person that replies to ur new thread you get an extra amount of points, also able to be changed in the admin cp.

Thats all the points are good for.

Member 1 is creating a new thread in a certain forum where the points are turned on. In the NEw Thread screen there is a box to fill out asking HOW MANY POINTS IS NEEDED FOR THE USER TO REPLY?

Remember Member 1 has 20 points. He cannot pout a number any higher than the amount of points in that box. If he does he will be brought to an error screen on submit.

So say he puts 10 points in that box. Now that means for everyone person that replies they need to have at least 10 points. So Member 2 will be able to reply. If member 1 set the amount to 11 points then Member 2 would not be able to reply.

This is all the points are good for.

Also one important thing. Say I created a new thread where the points are turned on. Sa Member 2 replies and i get additional points. If he replies again no points are gievn to the thread starter. It only works for the first reply by that user.

Plus for the thread starter to reply to there own threads will not give them points neither.

So there are 2 error screens. One if u want to reply and don't have enough points and the other is on the submit of a thread and you put in a number higher than the amount u already have.
