Say a cheap steam game. I could do a point system, a post is worth one point, a thread two, and a new member you've recruited with over say 10 posts is worth 50.

How does this sound?

[Cthulhu]

Anything to get people motivated.

[SpleenBeGone]

That's the idea.

[Wolf]

Sounds awesome

Would definately attract more people

You could do those survey things for paypal moneypacks and gamecards and stuff, too, and make a little money off of it

[Calvary]

Sounds like a good idea, the only pitfall is younger, inexperienced members who join might just post spam everywhere to try and get the prize, the quantity over content problem.

Not a bad idea. >.>

Yeah, I can always delete spam though.

[Calvary]

True, but do you want to delete pages of spam if this plan works and the board becomes uber-popular?

You'll have to recruit some mods haha.

Autonomous fix:

Weighted point system

you get regular points for your first X posts

1/2 points after X1 posts

1/4 points after X2 posts

have it reset at the end of the day, and I think you could effectively decide how much people are going to post

just fiddle around with the Xs

Also:

More points for Liked replies : Encourage less spamming and low-content bullcrap

Higher rank more points : Encourage people to stick with 1 account, so they don't make 10 accounts to spam with

Better behavior [no referrals, few reports, no bans/suspensions] earn you full points, with bad behavior you earn less

You could sell board things for the points [trade points for name changes, special titles, maybe custom banner thingies under their avatars]

Donate money for points

Sigs for other forums, that link here, and can count towards points for this forum when people click it

idk i'll think of more

Idea

Points for using the Widgets at the bottom of the pages, sending stuff to digg and reddit and whatnot

Points for not using Adblock Plus [If you hide a point button or something as an ad, that should work]

[Calvary]

How does poor Spleen work all this out every day? XD

[SpleenBeGone]

You are making this a lot of work. >.>
I don't have any sort of automated system, so I was just going to have a referral thread, and an entry thread so I can get a base post count every month. >.>

[Wolf]

Its your site man

I was just throwin out ideas

[Cthulhu]

An alt. account rule is definitely a must, though.

[Chrissaysay]

I give this the Chrissie stamp of approval.

So official.

Nothing should pass without it.

[Cthulhu]

Sorry, Miss, but nothing says official like the Pedo Bear Seal of Approval!


Oh yeah, check out that shiny, golden officialness.

No, they're really cool ideas, I'm jut lazy and terrible at coding. >.>

Yeah, lots of alts floating around would suck.

What does the stamp look like?

[Wolf]

...

*adds HTML 5 and PHP to list of languages*

at this rate, I'll never see sunlight again

[SpleenBeGone]

Yeah, I could make lots of use out of you then. >.>

[Wolf]

xD

It's all stuff i've been wanting to learn for a while anyway...

Im just finally not being lazy about it >.>

[SpleenBeGone]

Good luck with it.
