Default idea instead of reputation

For SMF, there's a mod that allows people, to use "reputation" as points, and use the points to buy stuff in the SMF "store"

The store includes stuff like a username change, and so on:

Quote:
SMFShop is a Shop Mod for SMF (that should be fairly obvious ). Members of your Forum will collect credits every time they make posts, and can exchange the points for items in the shop (eg. Random Points, Add 100 to Post Count, Increase Karma, etc.) This mod is very similar to IBStore for Invision Board.

I dont know if theres something like this for the big V, but if you decide AGAINST the donation idea, (because you could use those things for people that pay) then I think this would be neat.

Thats a good idea,

I can do that now. I can manually edit peoples reputation level.

I think this could be used to for a heap of things.

If you want to come up with a list of prices (points) that things would cost and some more ideas for what thing people can buy with it that would be good.

Just had a look at SMF one and it looks very cool.

I will have a look around to see if there is a VB version.

Yeah but if you gave points per post, it would be too hard to keep track of. Let me look for a mod for you and see if I can find one like SMFshop.

I'd be happy to make a list up.

Found one, but it looks hard to add:

The whole idea seems like a pretty great idea if everything can be worked out and implemented.

I think this one is free (?) and it won't automatically give stuff to users. After users got points, Robert would have to give them what they buy, because it's just a point system, not a store.

I definitely feel that users should not be able to "buy" extra posts to add to their post counts though.
