Get rewarded points for every successful report.

[YourXena]

To encourage users to use the report button,
you should be awarded like 100 points for every thread/post that you report.


For example,

User B: advertises a website
User A: reports the thread.
User B: Gets an infraction.
User A: Earns 100 points.

This is just a suggestion, please don't flame me Icedgreece.

I totally support this idea.

But mods may argue that it would lead to abuse on the report button =/

Yeah but the same rules still apply..
If you misuse the report system,

You'll just get an infraction/ban.
So the people misusing the report button won't get away with anything.

And thanks for supporting the idea :)

We had a thread like this sometimes ago.

The mods argued that if many people abuse the report button, it would cause a headache for them. o.o

Well they can at least give it a try.. I mean what have they got to lose..

For all they know, it might turn out not so bad..

And if it does turn out bad, they can just go back to the old way.

I think GzP should start a group of semi mods that get the reports, find out which ones are legit spam, advertisement etc., and compile a list of actions to give to mods like;

Infract 15 Points from following users; List users here.
Infract 30 Points from following users; List here.

That way mods don't get overflowed with reports and people still get banned for their stupidity.

This idea will go down the gutter. We get so many reports it would become a hassle.

Only if users actually know they get points for reporting posts tho...
You could add a reward system, but not tell users its implanted, so they'll continue to report as usual.

The point of points it to try and keep people active in posting , playing games and making friends on the forum so you will stay longer on gzp.

If you dont tell anyone then there will be no point to the points.

Also 100 is way to much. There is so much spam and advertisement , 1 active member can get 2000 points a day.

good idea though , just needs work .
