I already have an exact system running on my forum which I wrote for v2.3.0. Everyone receives 100 experience per day registered on the forum, plus 1 experience per post. Based on the duration of their membership, they rise in Social Rank, giving them a new forum title under their account name.
Everytime they gain a new Social Rank, they receive a certain amount of money. So a new member joins up and receives 100 experience automatically along with $350 to spend in the store. I incorporated the system with the ItemShop system which they can use to purchase little icons for their personal post bit if they so choose. At 1000 experience points they get more money, then again at 3000 experience points, etc, climbing the ranking ladder.
Long standing members will obviously have the more expensive items as well as little colored gems next to their avatar compared to the member who's only been registered for a few days who has basically nothing to their name.
Even if a member doesn't post, they'll still gain experience since the entire system isn't based on post count but rather, how long you've been a member.
