Purpose: To measure your involvement in the ABADss community other than simply post count.

How it works: Points are awarded for everything you do on ABADss. From posting responses or tagging threads there is a point for virtually anything you do that contributes to the community.http://www.abadss.com/forum/images/s...if:welcomeani:

I posted but don't see my points? Every ten minutes a "cron" cycles through the forum and updates your points, however you must be signed-on in order to have your points recalculated.

So what are you gonna do with this? Well we can virtually do anything we want like we could before but this allows us to easily track and reward our members for how active they are in the community.

All right, all right, well what do these three bars mean? Glad you asked, the top bar (orange) is your level bar it goes from 1-100. The bar below that (blue) is your level up bar, it tells you what percentage you are at that level and how many more points are needed to level up. Last the bottom bar is your Activity bar. This bar takes the top 10 most active posters and then compares their average to yours to determine this number.

We will be eventually expanding this feature and it's capabilities in the future by awarding members who excel in certain areas with medals and such. We are extremely excited about this feature and hope you are to. If you have more questions we can discuss it here. Good luck and Happy Leveling!

So I do see a few probs with this "credit" format. If I just post in on a **** load of threads with stuff like "good question" or "wow fta bro you're cool", or post a bunch of post in the various receiver forums that ask things like "my PPV is down are you up"?... is that going to give be "big bars" and look like a "super smart FTAer"?
Not to rain on the color bar thing, but it does seem like it's going to make a lot of idiots climb the "ranks" way faster than the wise... just my humble 2 cents (Canadian)... anyone else see this, or am I looking at this the wrong way, please add to my FTA status?

WORD

yes.. in theory you could do that but here is the trick.. you get points for doing everything besides just posting... A lot of points are in adding friends, posting articles, and other things done around the site that aren't "common". We can also see if someone is just posting a "****load" of random posts and deduct points.. I also think it will be somewhat difficult to catch someone in the ranks of arboristmand or JC... but good luck

However for the time being, mousing over the darkened part of the bars shows you the points/stats.
