Feedback on ddPoints & ddPlaza

[admin]

Hi Everyone:

Please use this thread to leave your feedback on the new points system we have installed. You can collect ddPoints on this board that you can redeem in the ddPlaza and for domain names. The ddPlaza main menu can be reached through "ddPlaza Menu -> ddPlaza Main" in the upper navigation bar.

We have just installed it, so there may be some bugs and kinks in the system, but we hope this new system will be fun for everyone.

Here is an overview on how to earn ddPoints:

• Creating a new thread: 15 ddPoints
• Creating a new post: 5 ddPoints
• Own thread viewed by other members: 0.1 ddPoints
• Establishing a new high score in the Arcade: 100 ddPoints
• Referring a new user: 20 ddPoints (new user must enter referrer user name when registering) formerly : 50ddpoints but due to abuse lowered it.
• Daily lottery: 250 ddPoints (must buy a lottery ticket)
• Weekly lottery: 2,500 ddPoints (must buy a lottery ticket)
• Creating a poll: 5 ddPoints
• Voting on a poll: 1 ddPoint
• Weekly Paycheck (must have been active during week): 50 ddPoints
• Points earned on Birthday (must have entered birthday on profile): 100 ddPoints
• Leaving a post reputation: 1 ddPoint
• Rating a thread: 1 ddPoint
• Bank interest: 1% per week
• Stealing points: 40% success rate

Looking forward for your feedback!

The ddPoints system is currently in BETA and we cannot guarantee that it will always function correctly.

We will enable domain names for points pretty soon after the current promotion ends. We are still trying to determine the appropriate number of points required.

We are also thinking about cash and hosting, but have not made a final decision. Anyone knows a good hosting provider we could use for the free hosting?

These are good ideas. We will soon start offering domains for ddPoints!
