So we now have a Score under our avatars. At present this is generated by "trophies", for example for gaining 10 likes, or whatnot. I would like it to be more responsive - i.e. 1 point per action rather than hitting milestones.
Mainly the purpose of the system is to reward users for using the site and content. I want to give points for playing and reviewing games, rating games, downloading the eZine, liking peoples' content and getting liked, etc.
I am considering installing a heavy add-on that will achieve most of this however it's pretty chonky and I don't want to bloat the system.
These are the "events" the add-on provides for however, and we can discuss which we want to use, and what the reward should be, here.
I am wary of points being too high for really active users; I don't want it to get out of hand. I may therefore award partial points for certain activities, or display points as a fraction of the total amount.
Now as you can see the above is based on a money kind of system. So we can rename and get rid of a lot of things such as paychecks, taxation, interest, etc.
What I certainly don't want to do is make this based on post count, because what I want to encourage is valuable activity, not spam.
Anyway that just happens to be how I feel about it, what do you think?
