Point Idea


Hey guys, Not like me to post ideas that often so here I go.

I want there to be a system where people get rewarded more for their work.
For example, when someone makes a flashy signature they should gain something out of it.
When someone makes an animation they should gain something out of it.

Now I'm not suggesting that each time someone makes something they gain something.
More to the point that, If you create something for someone else then you should gain something.


This "Something" should be points, Cash, Whatever.
Real life cash? you wish.
Seriously though a point system just below your avatar.

So basically if you want someone to make you a signature, An animation Etc then they can charge you a price.
And we will have a "Banker" who will manage the points.

A banker will be a member of staff who can edit the points, and they will keep record of everyone’s points.
If there’s a way where a member of staff is NOT needed, then applications for a banker will be done.
If the banker messes up the point system well I'm sure there will be a punishment.

If or If not we get this running, after a period of time we could create a VIP section where you have to pay in order to gain access.
And there will be a section where if you advertise for the forum, you’ll gain a certain amount of points. For example you make a YouTube video advertising the forum, you gain 100 points.

Benefits and disadvantages:

Benefits:
Members will be encouraged to make work for others.
Members will want to start their own "shops"
Members will want to start advertising in order to gain points
Overall the experience should be fun.

Disadvantages :
This system needs to be carefully looked after.
People could beg or argue about the price someone places.


Solution to the disadvantages:
1) The system can be looked after by more than one person.
2) The banker will be given a role to make sure prices aren't ridiculous.

Why didn't I post this in staff forum?
Well simple, I wanted you guys to contribute.

If you think these ideas completely stupid please post below.
Any comments will be taken into consideration.

THIS IS JUST AN IDEA FROM ME. This is the first time staff will be reading this.

Mm, an interesting idea, I will give it that. I do not know how exactly could shops help pivot side of the forum out, but I can see them creating a certain image for people who like to draw/create signatures/other artistic pieces.

Overall, I think I could see the system working effectively. A fine suggestion, Mop!

E: Actually, I think the popularity of Pivot has really worn off by now, seeing how a lot~ of animators moved to either flash, or some other advanced animation programs. Maybe it is time to actually rename our forum into something else.. But eh, it is probably just me and my insane ideas again. :)

I love the idea so far. :D
But should every member get starter points? Like, maybe, 5, or 10, or 25, or 100. (Or something, I don't know how high prices would be.)

Plus I think all staff members (Or admins at least) should be bankers.

EVERY staff member should watch over the point system to make sure everything's going alright, because a system like that needs to be handled with care and watched very closely by as many people as possible.

Oh n' maybe pay fer adminz!? [ahh] (Kidding, but that would be... retarded... actually... lol.)

Yeah... pay for stuff... like maybe little icon things that could go under your avatar? :)
Like a pistol, or a heart, or something. Wouldn't that be cool to do?

And where exactly would these points come from? Who would give people these points? And why?

Stick VS World (My game!)

Shredhed
Awesome weapon idea for Stick VS World
Whatever, Zach. [whistle] Maybe a bazooka that when fired, erupts on one enemy in a big explosion, then splits into homing missiles and tracks up to 5 separate enemies, but only has 3 ammo? And if you don't like this, then I give up...

I might have someone that could make the code/modify an existing code to get what we want.
Great! So could members become a banker then?
I'll have to see. For right now my plan is I get the general code and test it out, and then see if we can add on the specific features from there if we can.
Cooooooooooooooool.


ZACH, these questions were pretty much answered in the FIRST STARTER POST, and also elaborated a little more in my first post here. (on page 1)

I ignored everything else in your post as I answered it in my first post

It will be most likely that a member of staff will become a banker.

But possibly we could have 1 or 2 icons but giving people too many will just result in them having LOADs under there avatar.

And I mentioned everyone will be having starter points.

Stay true to your Forum bro. There is some history in this place, changing names would be like changing your face. Nobody would remember their memories with you if you do.

Also about the icons, you could have two that is shown below the avatar, and have more on your profile to pick from.
It's faster, thicker, stronger than the rest around

Mmm. You both speak wise words. But I'm gonna have to agree with Skyline on this one. We've gotta stay true to our history! Plus, we've got the "other graphics" section and all that. Although maybe an EXPANSION of that section, or maybe some cleaning up and moving around of different types of things (I'm thinking sections for different types of other art, like animation, photography, regular artwork, MUSIC, and 3D I guess.

I really do think we could use some change around here. Things are getting stale and slowing down. You can't start random topics in the spam pit any more, because they won't get posts. I don't like where this forum is heading at the moment. It's winter vacation, too!!!

I'm hoping this point system will get things rolling.

I'm going to start posting links to the forum of my new Deviants.

As soon as I am done with drawing RPG stuff here, I am going to post all~ of the drawings on my DevArt page. With the links leading here, of course.


And, I concur, FS. If not a rename, then at least a clean-up/rearrangement. Maybe add an official sub-forum for the Flash needs and stuffs?

I should have the points system going sometime soon, I'm getting a preview on the test forum soon and from the sounds of it, should be promising. After that's done we can branch from there.

I think this is a really interesting idea. It seems and reminds me sort of the PA pivot points system, and it could really tie in with the arena battles, betting and buying with those points

I don't have time to deal with the arena anymore, I'll glady let someone else takeover.

But once yong gets this working I'll set something up.
