Keep them around, points make you feel wealthy or poor, its almost like a currency here, and reps let you have higher self-esteem, it makes you feel better and more important. And its a nice way to show someone that did something nice or great that they did well, its a simple reward.

I take it you never even read what I said? As long as we maybe have the automated shop, points are going anywhere, however Merits > Reps. I think getting a "Rep" type award from a member of staff gives you a higher self-esteem than a bunch of newbies giving you random reps for no reason.

Again why are none of you reading the later suggestions?

 

They just don't wanna lose their precious points and reputation

I suppose you're right Clariex...but nobody has said the points are really leaving anymore, just that the reputation will probably get replaced, and well if people don't like it...too bad. :P

Okay then...first of all we have the MERIT system' date=' this is pretty much the same as the reputation system except the merits and de-merits can only be given by staff, this in turn gets rid of the warning system as well.

 

Next we have the Automated Shop, this in turn gets rid of the name changing process and actually will make it a lot easier, and there are tons of other cool things that Automated Shops also offer as well.

 

Discuss!

1) I don't like this. Reputation has been abused. But only giving mods the same power and calling it something else? That's something only a mod would come up with. There needs to be some kind of filter to get rid of the spam reps. Happy birthday does not qualify as a rep. I got a rep because I'm honest. That is something deserving of a rep. Mods wouldn't give merits for being honest.

 

2) Can you give me some examples of "cool things" the automated shops would offer and how exactly they would work?

Well if I remember correctly, I think one of the MyPlaza features is adding avatars to the avatar gallery, not 100% sure on that. Anyway here is what the actual post regarding the addon actually says.

 

MyPlaza is a powerful money/shop mod for your MyBB forums. It's main feature is it's extensibility.

 

 

Here's a few features:

 

* Categorize items

* Set usergroup based permissions for categories

* Item options include stock, automatic restocking, purchase limiting etc

* Shop buying through AJAX

* Extensible through modules, which are very similar to MyBB plugins

* Comes with some basic statistics and a purchase history

* ...and some other stuff :P...

 

 

This version includes only a few modules - I plan to include more in the actual release version:

 

* Income module - allows users to earn money from posts etc [activated by default]

* Donate module - allows users to donate to other users (also available through AJAX) [activated by default]

* Bank module - allows users to store money, where they can earn interest [activated by default]

* Change username/title - does what it says :P

 

 

 

 

Currently available Modules:

 

* Inventory System -

A powerful inventory system integrated into MyPlaza :) Allows users to buy collectable items, and display it in the postbit / inventory page. Also, users can sell / send items to other users, perfect for allowing gift donations :P

* Custom Username / Usertitle / Post formatting

Allow users to change the formatting used for their username!!!

* Attachment Fees

Charge users for downloading attachments.

* Module for pachel

This was a requested module. Allows users to upload images to the avatar gallery, give random amount of money, or display a random message

 

Obviously I think he/she is gonna add more cool features to it at a later stage.
