Points Store

First topic message reminder :

Hey Guys Hello

Over the past few weeks, there has been a lot of talk about points and what to do with them. I think that an automatic points store should be made so Administrators don't have to spend their time doing point exchanges over the admin panel for people instead of enhancing their forum. I believe the points shop should include things such as this:

Username Change
Buy a Rank (A little field to type in the rank they want, the rank can added to the ACP)
Buy a Signature (For forums like ForuMotion that only allow signatures for staff)
Buy a Home (A HTML page of their own that they can get made/make themselves as like a home. There could be a link in their posts and profile like a little contact button with a home on it. I've seen something called "NeoHomes" on a forum called Neoseeker, and they seem to be a great success)
Buy a Social Group (Create a group that they can manage, it can be anything they want like "Xbox Lovers" or "Horse Riders", etc.)
Buy a Coloured Name (Simply place the user in a group that has the colour they want)

I understand that it would be hard to make these things happen automatically, so I've come up with an idea. The points can be automatically subtracted from the user. The admin(s) of the forum will recieve an E-mail telling them that [Username] has bought a [thing] and you need to [do something]. Here is an example:

Dear Clug,
Hrtxf has just bought a coloured name and you need to create a group in the admin panel with the colour #5babe8 as the colour the usernames will be.

Thanks,
Automated Email System

I think this would be a great idea and would make points a lot more useful in forums.

Vote Yes Now Very Happy

Thanks,
Clug

Voted yes.

This is a great idea. I voted yes. I just don't understand why Forumotion still haven't had any responses for this suggestion. It's been a too long time since this topic was posted here and there are 96% yes of all votes now bwi

I voted "yes". I think this is always a good idea. People are going to be on here anyway to get help regarding their own forum, so why not let them get something out of it or give them some kind of reward?

This is for your forum, not the support forum.

Aaahhhh! Sorry. I thought I was in the "Suggestions for the Support Forum" area. My apologies.

Anyway, I'm going to stick with my vote of "yes" because I think that having a points shop on your forum can kind of give people a fun way of using their points that they're earning on your forum since they are already there posting anyway.
