<P>I think it's a wild mix of posts, blogs, maybe anything you do here. Not everything is finalized yet.</P>

<p>I could find anything around the site about points, nothing in the help pages or anything, its weird. No idea what theyre for or how to get them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<P>What's the fun of a points system if you know how to get them? Or use them? Or ... do anything else with them that may or may not be implemented? Mysteries are fun!</P>

<p><font size="3"><b><span class="mediumtext">From the software maker's page:</span></b></font></p><p><span class="mediumtext">The activity points are when a user post any item to the site. </span></p><p><span class="mediumtext">If they:</span></p><p><span class="mediumtext">- Post a picture<p>
- Post a journal</p><p>
- Post a thread in the forum</p><p>
- Post a poll</p><p>
- Post a comment in a profile of someone else</p><p>
- Invite a friend</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>
These are the activities that are taken into consideration. You get one point for each of this activities.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>
And once you reach a certain amount of points such as: </p><p>
- Once reached 600 points ( 5 blue stars ) they start to get a yellow star.</p><p>
- Once reached 1500 points ( 5 yellow stars ) they start to get a red inner star.</p><p>
- Once reached 4000 points ( 5 red inner stars ) they have reached all the stars</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>
with the max poin 4000 points.</p><p>
First users get the blue star.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>
This is to show how active your members are and if the admin of the
site needs a staff member, they know which user to rely to be active on.</p></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>Please forgive the look of this post. This post editor will be the death of me soon. Copy/Paste just screws it all up.</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<P>That system seems flawed to me. I don't know. I've seen quite a few forums with extremely prolific posters/bloggers/photo uploaders who would therefore accrue a huge amount of points very quickly, but unless it's quality material, that doesn't really mean anything. I sit on this forum all day, but I'm at work, so my ability to do certain things is restricted, and the amount of time I can spend posting is also limited -- so, I'm here all the time, but get no points? Sweet.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>In any case, I can see the merits of the system as it exists, but I just had to point out that "posts a lot" is far - VERY far - from "makes a good mod".</P>

I've been a part of the 'staff' at several websites and this is always an issue. People, not including myself, feel that higher points/post count makes them elite, or 1337 for the geeks.&nbsp; I have witnessed many arguments by these people should their post count be lower than what it once was because postings had to get pruned. One of those sites I was involved with actually based their next mod choice on their post count. Well, color me baffled on that one. </p><p>Quantity does not equal quality.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>Edited:</b> This forum software will be the death of me. Now links did not work in a post.

this will take forever to get a yellow star! I only have 6 points, but I post threads, and messages very often. Hell, I just post 2 threads on the Rock Band space, and my points just went up 1. <img src="http://www.rockbandgame.com/file/smile/sad.gif">

Well we still have a long ways to go before the game even launches!&nbsp; Once the game comes out, there will be much to talk about.&nbsp; But for now, take advantage of the blogs.<br>
