If you catch anyone circumventing your rules you can set the individual points/bank to a specified amount. Click here for the SQL Queries. I've used it on several occasions. I'd also set the user(s) to a different Usergroup that has points disabled.

I have turned off points per characters as someone pointed out that it would be possible to create a huge junk post and then edit the post to the real size and you would still get the points for the original character count.

Unfortunately I have turned off quite a number of features to prevent vbBux fraud:
- No referral points
- No thread view points
- No character count points

CMX: It would be great if the system would have some sort of fraud prevention or alert system built into a future release. I realize it is very complex and may not be very high in the list, but it will help the long-term viability of the add-on.
