View Full Version : The points system, what it is...read here

Most of us have used message board systems such as this one long enough to know how important "pointages" are important to people. Pointages such as post count, reputation, thank you's...the more you have, the more you feel better right?

In light of the past reputation hoopla, JCNET now has a virtual bank and store (which we will call a plaza). I have installed a really cool hack for vBulletin called vBux/vPlaza. You will notice the "Plaza" link up top. There is also some options in your UserCP you may wanna check out.

So in addition to post count, reputation, thank yous, you now have virtual cash (points)!

*Note: the term "points" and "cash" will be used interchangeably

Now in the real world, how do you earn cash? By working of course.

To earn virtual cash at JCNET, you have to work too. So what is your job?
To keep JCNET active! Posting, replying, viewing topics, voting in polls, etc...basically what you have always done. There are DOZENS of things you can do at JCNET to gain points, I won't tell you what they are, as it's more fun to find out on your own. Different things will gain you different points values.


There is also a bank, in which you deposit your money to earn interest a week. You may also withdraw points, which is the points you have onhand to buy stuff.

Yes that's right! Here's the fun part, you actually get to BUY virtual stuff with the cash you earn. You can buy gifts for yourself, or to give to other members.

NOTE: The gift store is not complete, and will take me a while to do so.

You can also donate cash to people if you're feeling generous.

AND there is now a weekly lottery which you can purchase tickets for 5 points each, the jackpot is I think ~200 points or something.

AND there is also a betting system, called vBookie in which from time to time, we will place something you can bet on and earn points for winning. They will always be posted in the Contest forum. If you have something you would like to bet on, PM a moderater or admin and we will set it up for you. It has to be something big, like World Cup outcomes or something alot of people know about, not your local university basketball game.


There is just so much to explain, I'll leave it at the basics for now.
We are now in a testing phase, I have to see how fast people earn points to set appropriate prices for the gifts, etc...

Gosh Karen!!! I must applaud you for your creativity. I am so impressed!!!

You have made the forum into such an interactive and fun place to visit. Over the past 3 years when I'm in here, you've transformed this place so much. I really appreciate all the effort you're taking to make this place more lively and interesting for us! :-)

The plaza looks interesting. Great job! The theif section looks a bit fishy. What is that all about?

yeah, the thief section confused me too when i look at it, does it mean that you can actually take point away from people???

Over the past 3 years when I'm in here, you've transformed this place so much.

Which reminds me cacky, once the virtual stores open, loyal members (been here 3+ years) get an 8% discount on all gifts. *hands cacky a discount voucher*

As most of you guys have noticed, you accrue points pretty fast as long as you are active on the boards. That is because gifts will cost anywhere from 500-1000 points, and well into the 6 figures for special gifts.

About the thief section, like I said you earn cash in real life by working, but yes, people do earn money also by stealing. Although we don't condone it in real life, our version of stealing is less harmful!

You can try to steal points from people, and there IS a failure rate. I don't know all the details of what happens if you are successful or unsuccesful, remember this is all new to me too, so I probably can't answer alot of questions. The best way to find out how all of this work, is just to try it out.

Ling
05-21-2006, 05:45 AM
The best way to find out about it was indeed to try it :brows:
It's actually quite amusing that it can fail & I lost the amount of points I tried to steal. I like the feature of being punished (losing points) for stealing.

EDIT: Whoa...I lost 3 reputation points for stealing too! Hmmm....my curiousity sure led me on an interesting adventure!
:secret: Lesson of the day from the diaoest site: don't steal!

Ling it shouldn't decrease your reputation if you are unsuccessful in stealing :oops: ...only if you are successful, and 3 points is too high. I'll change it too something lower, or probably take it out for now. And I'll add back your 3 points as well.

Thank you Karen! I was assuming that JC.net is trying to instill good morals into JCnetters (not that we don't have it) by having harsh rules. I must say this new addition is quite interesting!

i checked that out just now,
and i found out, there is a limitation to that function,
you need x amount of points until you are allowed to steal other's.
I'm still not qualified T_T haha

Nice. This will give us more incentives to be active in the forum.

But some measures also have to be taken to prevent people from flooding, spamming or posting trash. I think it is good that this forum has already have strict rules BEFORE this system was implemented. This kind of points system was implemented a few months ago in one forum I joined that is not too strict, and guess what, floods of spams gathering in and the mods have to clean the junk.

I think we should append the rules so that junk will not only cost rep points but also degradation of money points, this way people will make common sense and won't think that money points is everything.

That's really true! And also, with the fact that the points go up really fast, people would spam and get more points. By the end of the day, they've already gotten more than 100 points.
Before, rep points and thank you's can't be controlled by the user, but this time, the points can be controlled by posting a lot etc.

DP, lol ! you're so innocent!

Yes as with alot of things, people will find ways to exploit them. But you get so little points for posting, it's not really worth the effort to spam...and that's what the mods are for, besides they get a paycheck now, so they have to work :shy:

Congrats to Winston for winning the lottery! Unfortunately as we discussed, some of that has to be taken away (I didn't finish setting up the lottery feature apparently)...so there's gonna be a 80% federal tax applied to your winnings.. or more...:shifty:

The jackpot was 100,000 ...I've reduced it down to 1,000 now

edit: There's a daily lottery as well, I might turn it on, and the jackpot would be like 50 points.

That's exactly what I'll do too if anyone complains abou money being taken from them. If anything, the points and bank should be taken waaay lighter than anything else. That's one of the reasons why I decided to implement it, so we're not all tense all the time.

Sometimes I can imagine people who sit in front of their monitors refreshing the page waiting for their reputation to go up one tick. More exciting than watching the stock market DragonPrince.

Looks like JCNet is no more suitable for the faint-hearted. Muahaha. I hope people won't get heart-attack out of this.

Is there anyway I can donate to make this website a better site? I have no money. I have points. I hope I can help.

I seriously don't get the system. My points increased without me doing anything. :sweat: I know maybe I should keep quiet and giggle to myself. But I really want to know the reason to it.

I think if the people post on your threads you increase by points..Thats why when i sleep and come back you have more points and replys on your threads..But im not 100% sure..But i love this new feature..

Actually, I think anyone gets points for looking at topics, but if they start a thread and people reply to it, then the person that started the thread gets points.

Wow, Crystal. I certainly learn a lot from you. But I don't like to start threads, I have to go back and check every now and then. I am afraid that no one will reply and it would be a waste of space. You learn very fast. I slept throughout my train ride from home to work and work to home again. I am always so tired.

Hihi..a minor technical glitch identified..=)

Pam tried to donate some money to me..but cos my mailbox was full, the donation did not reach me..However, her money was still deducted..

Yep..so please give Pam her money back..!! haha...(Joking joking)..but just wanted to point this out since this is probably a technical problem? ^^

Edited: OOPS perhaps the money was transfered to me successfully..cos I saw it in the history..haha..but I didnt receive the PM..

Char, that happened? Really?

Maybe we should all keep track of all our inboxes, make sure that they are not flooded. So that we have good feng shui to keep money coming in.

Wow. Such a big change! I quite like this idea. I've seen this around in several other forums too, where you use the cash to download albums, and etc.

Thanks, look at my name. Is it very oriental? I don't really know feng shui. But I like traditional and very oriental items.

I can't wait for the new 'rule' or 'ways' that we can earn money to come out soon.

This is fun! I want to know what will we be buying? Maybe Jay's flowery shirt, autographed posters and lots more!

Just a suggestion.
What if when somebody tries to steal money from someone
and that person fails, how about if the amount he or she tried
to steal from the prospective victim will be given to the person he or she
attempted to steal from but failed instead of just losing points off to nowhere?
I guess in that manner it would be a little more fair to the thieves' favorite victims.

wow you must have worked really hard to find this out.
And here was me.. stupid me thinking the points are just some kinda add on that has nothing to do with anything.
I think this forum after this will be WAY more community based. Since you can give eachother presies and stuff
^^"
Good idea guyz.. Top notch.. o.O

Item Cost: 10.00
Item Tax Percentage: 0.00%
Item Total Cost: 10.30

I dont get this part... how does the total cost come out to be 10.30 if theres not tax..?

With a picture of a hand as your avatar, I can't help but to think that Brent is raising his hand.

Another question, it was mentioned that you have points after viewing some threads. But I keep viewing and I didn't get any.
Makes me really need to post to get money. *kidding*

GAAAAAH ! GAAAAAAAAAH !! I finally had the time to check out the bank and stuff. So I started to try and steal some points and I succeeded the first time ! WOOHOO !!! Then I decided I'd try again. And again.

And lost both times and now, I lost more than what I gained the first time.

SOB !!!!! I don't think I'd dare to be a thief anymore. *back to toiling fields to earn cash*
