Umm...what would we do with this currency? And how would we get it?

I'm guessing the mods and admins could distribute it.

But then, spending is the best part. Think of all the...uh....STUFF you could buy!
Er...nevermind.

umm, on AXA, they have bells, which you earn by posting and creating threads, and you can spend bells by donating to someone in return for a favor, entrance to a game where the winner gets the bells that the host accumulated by running the game(ie. pay 5 bells to enter, we have 5 players, and the winner of the contest gets 25 bells(or 20, or whatever they set the jackpot at)), and lastly, bells can be used to egt a custom title that goes under your avatar
but thats just on AXA, also, the admin or mods could host yearly or monthly contests where entrance is free and the winner gets a large amount of currency(since they can moderate currency(add and subtract from your account))
and all sorts of stuff.
also, users can open shops in a currency forum in which other users can buy sigs or avys cursom made for an amount of currency.
its really cool and enabled on PHPbb style forums. i think it would improve the site if we had this currency

But if we instill a currency similar to the aforementioned system, that would encourage people to post just to raise more "bells", resulting in meaningless and spammy posts, which is not what we're looking for. Same thing with creating threads. Currency would also ruin the current friendly system we have here. If someone asks a favor, usually someone will do it out of kindness, but with currency, people might charge for favors, thus depleting once more-friendly relationships.

theres a limit to posts per day that will actually get you bells
1after the set limit, you dont earn bells for your posts
2if people spam to earn one bell, mods will take away two
3though one person woud do it out of kindness, three would be willing to do it for bells(well more than one, but you get the point)
people will be more willing if theres incentive, and the requestor wont have to wait as long

I know at the Nuklearpower forums they have these things that if you spam a couple times you get banned for a while. Maybe we should use those, and maybe it should only activate after a few days so we don't kill all the noobs. I think we could use something like that, then.

If you can figure out a better way to earn points rather than just posting, then maybe. I wish there was some kind of point system for forum games. You can always organize one yourself if you want, of course.

Same thinking here.

However, I have seen on other forums a counter called 'Karma". As you would expect from its name, when you do something good, a user that's posted a certain amoutn of times or has been registered for a certain amount of time could add one to your karma, and if you do something bad, a user could take one away. You can't do anything with karma, it's just there, but it can be fun to get the highest karma. If anything were to be implemented, I think something like that would be best, if anything at all.

Hm. Interesting idea.
I like that Marshmallows idea.
Maybe Grumblecakes. :)

I don't know. I don't like the regular spending idea.

It could be an inside joke. Like the FCOT +3. Like, "Thanks for the sprite Somm-1, take all my [insert random currency here]!" or, "Clan! Stop flaming! You get a ticket of 10,259[insert random currency here]" ya know?

I like the karma idea.

I've seen that. It's like a 'user rating'. Anyone with a score of -5 or less got an auto-ban.

If fact, I think that is the greatest idea ever. Then a person could be banned because of the opions of the user, instead of just the mod!

(of course, it takes about 10 'dislike' votes to take away a point)

I would love that. Someone make a thread for it.

No, that could cause a lot of problems. Also, rememebr rule 1, "The admins and mods are always right". There are always gonna be people on the internet whom you dislike, but that doesn't mean they should be banned. It'd be better if they don't do anything at all.

I concure, I mean, just because you dis like someone doesn't mean they deserve to be banned, or even get a "lower rank."

As for the ranking thing: This forum seems great without them. So why do we need them?

they have that somewhere.....
its a rating or something
if youre bad, you get warned, if youre good, you get de-warned. after a day, you get one de-warn point. nothing drastic though, maybe a suspension if youre really bad
