First topic message reminder :

Hi guys, I was just thinking how about we have points system enabled here. And we can shop with points. Shop like coded pages maybe ?

hmm, tricky:) Maybe gets unlimited gfx requests? Can put sticky topics in a special section? Can be a secret agent who monitors the forum? I really have no idea. If you're asking me to suggest items, than you're on the wrong page. If this suggestion is accepted, than we'll think of items to put on sale. Baby steps

I have some ideas

Why don't you open like a premium member group and members will have to purchase it at like a monthly fee (e.g. 50 points per month)

Things premium group can get:
- access to staff forums (that reminds me, if you don't have that, add that
- bolded, underlined or italic username (can only choose one)
- They will get 10 % off all (future) other items

Ok other than that, I got:

- Bolded, underlined or italic username (25 points)
- transfering points (your own points to another member)
- Advertise on homepage (15 points a week)

Anyway, that's all I got, tell me what you think about it

Access to Staff forum, definitely not possible.

Advertising on homepage, definitely not possible.

Rest are good ideas

Lol, Isn't the staff forum for a reason (Staff Only)? Lol

Cash/Points

This would be really great since it's a graphics and coding community (Web community).

With the cash/points system we could charge cash/points for making graphics, helping out members with either coding or designing problems.

To achieve the cash/points people need to post on the forums and get them (more people and more post count on the forums). Then they can use their earned cash/points to request several graphics or help.

Reputation

Almost same as I wrote above. The reputation system allows you to give reputation to a member of staff for a good work in either helping out with their problems or for making them graphics.

Both these are used around the web almost everywhere. Would be really great on these forums too!

*EDIT*

Just saw the other thread about this. Well, read here for a good explanation instead of a poll

(Please delete thread if needed).

Thanks, Sanket

is it ? then voted yes !

edit : what to sell ?

*

coded pages

* Custom Signatures {with no outside/personal links of-course}
* different colored user name ? {was suggested,a premium group that can be gained membership by paying certain amount every month}
* access to "premium" forum
* get their topic moderated {moved/stickied/ anything} for 24 hours

premium Members get away from the 24hr bump rule

Behaviour, no way. Its ridiculous!

1) Giving signatures and colored name won't be 'useful'. It won't provide any utility to the member.

2) What can a premium forum have? It must have some premium content in it.

3) Right to brake rules can't be 'bought'. Rules will be applied on all, including admins

i vote yes! i would be great!

Premium forum? Advertising?

I guess ani and Sanket already refused and advertising forum, it doesn't fit well to the forum.

How about homepages?
