Hi Andy,

 I would like to request for forum credits, something like a currency everytime there is a post, there is an equivalent credits with integration of an affiliate link if possible.

Implementation of referral system with equivalent credits is much appreciated with an option to convert the currency into something, either cash or the like…

 Thank you.

Andy,

He wants users to earn "credits’ for doing various functions within the forum, such as posting, replying, viewing, time passing, etc…  thing of the credits as points, currency, whatever you would like…  then, these credits can be redeemed for various things on his site such as access to other areas, $s, downloads, etc

Here is a quick link to an example in vbulletin:

Yes,

 I am talking the likes of VBCredits, you can earn credits too, when you refer someone. So right below the number of posts found at the user profile, a credit points sytem can be found.

Very useful to blogs with a community offering services and products.

 Thanks.

We have a points system at vbcity.com where you get 1 point for posting a topic, 3 for replying and 10 for posting a FAQ.  You get 0 points for the Lounge because it’s just a chit-chat place but all the other sections carry points.  It’s changed now but what used to happen was that the user with the most points at the end of the month got the Helper of the Month award and promoted to moderator.  There’s a leader board that’s based on the number of points each user has.

There are plugins for phpBB that do a similar thing and allow you to "buy" things like a glow around your name and other stuff.
