Forum Points

[PolarisINDY500]

just noticed that this was added...

i from what ive seen you gain 5 pts per post (good way to encourage post wh0ring (and i noticed we got more smilies))

after browsing thru what you can get from your ponts, some of those things cost ALOT of points. i like the one for deducting popularity points -er something like that, from other members...LOL to bad it cost ya like 75,000 pts.

oh, can someone plz clarify what "bank points" are...are these points you gain from making donations?

then what do you do for the add/deduct part?

I've been pitling around in the bank. The way I see it. You can bank your current points. I believe that way noone can take them...I think

Also by the way it looks, you can screw members or be screwed by members. I think they had us smarty pants in mind when they did that

[rdlviper]

yeah... when you put them in the bank nobody can steal them.... and you get 2% interest... its the same point system you see running on other forum sites

[rdlviper]

if you refer a "new member" you also get 200 points that was part of my marketing thing hehe

I've never heard of this points system. Is there a FAQ on it?

I didn't see anything on it in the FQA section. I posted a thread about it in the tech forum

[smallengineguy]

Did you notice you can steal points from others???

[SnowRida]

How is that?

[smallengineguy]

I clicked on store and it brought me to a submenu that "Thief" was an option. You could put a users name in the box and how many points you wanted to try to take from them. But now when I click on store nothing even happens...

[smallengineguy]

Crap! NOw I know how it works. I tried to thief 40 points from someone, and it said " you are a terrible thief", and took 40 points from me! I think I'll leave the thief thing alone...The submenu only seems to come up when in the private messages section, then click store. Where did you find what you could use points for?

[letitsnow]

somewhere in there it says you can allow yourself or disallow someone access to a certain forum, what forums can't normal users go in now?

[SnowRida]

This is going to be interesting. Mind games. Theift, banks, wow!

LMFAOROTFF Shouldn't have said anything. I was gonna try that. Now I know not to. Knowing you, you prolly tried takin my points...lmao

[PolarisINDY500]

on the top bar...theres the "store" link...it will bring up your status and show your points...then below that click on the different links and it will show whats available and how they can be used.

so if you put your points into the "bank" no one can take them from you? is that correct?

this is going to make the summer go by fast

[smallengineguy]

I am NOT going to try the thief thing again.....

[letitsnow]

i tried it and lost 10 points too...

[PolarisINDY500]

haha, you guys should keep secrets like that to yourself, and let the other members find out the hard way

j/k..id be upset if that happened to me..im not gonna try that

[letitsnow]

at least i havn't had any oil cap incidents...
