125 pages of discussion, and not finding a general overview. Screenshots help but don't tell the whole story. Everyone seems to know what this is.

Bit of a tedious job to install, but did that, to see it in action. Not sure I made every mod perfectly, but hard to check since I don't know what it is supposed to do.

Looks like fun. The system awards points for various actions, such as posting, or when someone views your post. Discounts for loyal members and seniors ok, I get that. Fine tune the details in admincp, ok.

But what is a thief, how does that work?

What is the bank? How does that work?

I see talk of buying access to forums but no links/pages?

Is there a cookbook for adding you own action? Our users wouldn't give a rodent's rump for a bold username, but they will kill each other for photo access.

Has anyone connected this to a real payment sytem? Buying points for money? Does it make sense?

What are people using this for? Is it a fun toy, or is it a useful tool for ensuring access to those that earn it?

Appreciate it greatly if someone who knows the system could step back from the technical details and talk about the big picture, to help us evaluate, and guide us in the implementation.

Or point me to a thread/post? Many thanks in advacne.
