Points explained....

[Admin Etah]

Well I know there was already a thread about this, but I have no idea where it went, but most people are apparently still trying to figure out the point system. So, from the forum website:

How are points calculated?
- Points generated by the number of posts
- Points generated by the number of topics created
- Points generated by the number of friends that the user has
- Reputation points
- Points generated by the registration date of the member
- Points generated by the number of message on his profile

And to explain reputation points:

The reputation system, as you have noticed, is a sub part of the points system. It also works with points.

In each posts, if the feature is activated, small buttons to rate the post will be apparent. Each positive or negative rate can make you win or
lose reputation points.
The number of points won or lost can be modified and can be customized for each categories.
The button "Thanks" allows a member who created a topic to thank the user who wrote the message that it considers most appropriate. The post then
appears highlighted.

Well I hope this helps. Also please answer the poll question!

I think the point/rep. system might be a good way to keep people in line (e.g. to stop spamming) because there is a reward!
