New Cash System; Ideas anyone?

I'd like a general public idea about this cash system I have implemented. Currently, I have no way of stopping it from giving you cash on every post you make.

However, it does calculate a posts length and the likes... Giving a varied amount of money per post.

I plan to use this system for a teaching and learning system, an academy of sorts. Where users can buy tests, and also 'rent' tutors. This can also be used as a trade currency on the boards. You can use it to buy avatars and the likes from people who would like to make them. I plan to have cool stuff for you to be able to buy as well.

More things are to come as well, such as lotteries, richest users and things like that. However, this isn't my code, this is one coded for us... So it will be time before that happens...

Right now you can donate credits to users... Just by clicking their username... And when you see their profile, you can click, Profile Options. Then click donate.. enter in how much you wish to give.. and there you go ^^.

Any trades made, must be withheld. If something isn't traded correctly, please contact one of the staff members!

Right, so that's what the "Credits Loading" thing on the post button when you click it means ! In any case, I don't see any reason why not to implant it ... Someone will surely find a way to abuse it, but heck, we've got mods and amnis, it should be alright.

As always, there are ways to abuse. However, I'm doing everything I can to prevent that.

Cash system?

I hope people have the mind not to abuse it, myself, so that the need for preventative measures isn't there as much.

It will be rather hard to abuse, seeing as we don't really tolerate wasteful posts over in the RP area. Though, we may kill off the spam section of the site.

Also, it judges the post itself to determine how much money to give.

Nooo!

The unofficial Tarmo's Corner!

I mean...

Don't kill off the spam forum....

Also, someone could make a meaningless post and we could possibly overlook it by mistake? Oo

Surely a useless post could be put up here or there, but it wouldn't amount to anything. They'd have to do it over and over to get anything of value from it.

What if it was a long, useless, meaningless post?

At least they spent time on it, even then it'd take quite a few to amount to something useable.

Yeah, this post I'm making won't give me anymore than four/five creds. Only good RP posts can build up your "account", and even then it takes time.

Meh, as long as you don't make it essential to roleplaying on this site, only to get certain member-to-member advantages, no-one can bitch, can they ? Can they ?

Not at all ^^ That's the key thing, it's not beneficial to role playing, it will be towards those learning to role play.. And member trading ^^.

I like this idea. It seems like it's going to really help encourage people to think more about their posts, and try harder to go into more detail. Hopefully It'll improve the quality of the role plays on here, maybe raise the bar in terms of standards on the site?

We're obviously not going to become some sort of elitist group that dictates to people how to do things, but it would be nice to have people writing long posts anyway ^_^
