Forum Currency ?

[Hugo]

I've noticed that on other forums they kind of have a currency which you earn more of the more you post and once you have a certain amount you can by things from the shop like glowing usernames ect. I thought it would be good if we had it here. I know on Exhale its called breath heavy bux or something like that.

[Hugo]

You can also let other members have some of your 'money' abit like giving them karma.

[Annie]

Oh wow Bank of TiBB :lovedup:

sounds interesting:bigsmile:

I was going to suggest this as an alternate version of karma. People can be given money for doing good things on the forum and stuff (making someone a banner, helping someone out with something etc). It's much fairer and only given out as positive things and not negative. I think the money you have builds up as your posts get higher - but that may resort in spamming for 'money'.

And you could pay people for making you things.

Ooh I love that idea. Then we could abolish karma.

I thought it could be used as a reward for winning a game aswell.

Yeah other stuff as well. I was helping them with a few ideas of how it could be used. :colour:

LOL. It's a much better option and it rewards the members for their hard work in making banners.

[Sarah.]

This is used on another forum I go to, and we get so much points for every post, and people can send points and items and stuff.

I've tried to install this on my forum but it depends on the XMB type of forum, and the shop hack [which is what it's called] has quite a few security bugs and so it's kinda hard to find it and download it. but yeah... lol it would be a good addition to the forum.

[Fom]

This would be awesome :P

I think if TiBB adds anything else it will turn more into a social networking site than a Big Brother forum, and it will only encourage spamming for money.

Or I may just be the only one who likes things kept more simple.

Nope you're right. The Karma idea was crap and the 'TIBB Bank' is worse, it's basically the same idea.
Just keep it simple.

The more things added the more this place will become a popularity contest!

Everyone is claiming for a 'fair' TIBB where new members aren't discriminated anymore but that kind of system encourages this way.

But I don't think we can keep TiBB the same ALL the time, the forum is getting stuck in the dark ages, however much we like it this way it is bound to get boring sooner or later, maybe a trial version of this just to see how it goes? And if it gets too much negative feedback remove it?

This is exactly the same system. People who are asking for it will be complaining if they don't earn enough 'money', it's obvious like a nose on the face.

Well Big Brother IS about to end. The forum is much quieter during off-season and mainly active members who all get along visit during that time. Wouldn't hurt to at least run a trial version during that time.

But it's about the members, not what has been instaured. TIBB is, first of all, a place to discuss Big Brother. So why not keeping it real.
I do agree it's dull sometimes but if I want to play games such as this one, I go to Facebook or Myspace.

It's just another way to prove you are popular, nothing else. We previously had the 'Deserving reward' argument when Karma was instaured. It flopped.

I partially agree about the popularity contest bit for a reason, and tbh I don't see whats wrong with, people are popular for a reason. We should reward people that do good things around the forum rather than having losers so lower the karma for fun.

It will be given out fairly through people doing favours and such for other members. It may also be bought up through a post count. Obviously that may not be much as people will start spamming for money. You can't knock something until you've tried it. If karma was given a fair chance, then so should this.

The thing that is wrong with it is that we never had so many complains about 'Why do I have a bad karma ?', 'I don't deserve it' and blah blah blah. Many thread have been locked so if we can spare the mods a waste of time and giving them less efforts, that would be great because they work enough hard for the forum to give them more pointless work.

Of course people will be spamming for money, just like karma or the post count. I know you know how many problems it brought about people only posting for the post count or for having a higher karma.
Karma was also supposed to be fair for 'deserving' people but you can notice loads of members have removed it: it shows everything.

The 'dark ages'? But this is a forum, and like Kiz said, it's one of the most popular ones and a lot of that is due to the simplicity of it, the fact it's not full of all these new 'really cool applications' and it's just here for people to use as a forum.

Plus, who is to say it will be used fairly? People add to their friends karma because they are friends, so what would stop them giving money to their friends if they wanted?

But whose to say that future applications will not benifit the forum? We haven't even trialled ANYTHING yet, and you can not base how it will work on how karma has worked of recent months. Some members seem too stubborn to want to experience change, and people have said that if a trial version doesn't work out they'd be willing for it to go.

But the Karma system is the same as the one you are trying to pull there so why making a new one ? We already know how it will be working. We already have Karma which was made for the same reasons as the TIBB currency.

I don't see why everyone is so stuck in their mind that TiBB HAS to stay like it is at the moment, surely a trial version will not hurt anybody.

And for people who are saying that the system will provoke more spamming posts, maybe. But it also may provoke more insightful discussions and events which you can participate in, so you are raising your post count in a good & happy way, a quick edit to the rules to make it clear that spamming is not allowed. Anyone spams, a straight and direct ban. Simple.

Because it is the same principle, the same members are here, so of course they will abuse it. Plus, the forum is too cliquey as it is without adding another application to just further that.

And it's not about 'experiencing change', it's liking things how they are and knowing that for the last 3 years I've been here, the forum has worked really well as it is, keeping it simple. At the end of the day, it is a forum so why do we need to add 'money' to it? I just can't see how it will benefit the forum, I can't see how this addition will somehow increase the quality of posts, the members etc. I can see it causing a lot of people to spam and for the forum to get even more cliquey than it already is.

Why would they? People get monye based on post count and being nice to people for example making graphics for people. If the member does not earn their money fair and square then it is their own fault, their moans will simply not be replied to. The members WITH money have the satisfaction of knowing they earnt it in the right way.

Exactly, you don't recieve karma on your post count making karma better in that respect as it doesn't encourage spamming, the money feature will. And no, you don't recieve karma for making stuff for people, which again, makes it better IMO as not everybody is capable of making banners etc, so instantly it's unfair to those members.

Also, from where I'm sitting, you don't get any 'benefits' from this money system either? Some numbers next to your profile, but isn't that the same as karma? Does the £ next to it suddenly make it a benefit?

I never said it was bad, it's just the way it is used. People are complaining and you know it so as it's the same system as yours, people will still be complaining because 'Why don't I have money ???' What you said makes no sence, at all.

The majority of the complaining threads about karma say, 'why is my karma so low, and why do people lower it?'. With the money, people wouldn't be able to lower it so its only used to reward people for positive things.

Why would they? People get monye based on post count and being nice to people for example making graphics for people. If the member does not earn their money fair and square then it is their own fault, their moans will simply not be replied to. The members WITH money have the satisfaction of knowing they earnt it in the right way.

You used the same argument as people used for Karma and look at the result ! I mean, come on, you cannot deny it. Karma was supposed to be fair but a lot of members ganged up against some.
IMO it's pointless to get a new feature which is based on the same idea but a change to show 'it is different' when it's not.

tooperfect, we're obviously getting nowhere here. We obviously think this is a brilliant idea, whereas they don't, which is perfectly understandable, it's their opinion. We should just U2U the admin and then let them make the decisions from there.

But whose to say that future applications will not benifit the forum? We haven't even trialled ANYTHING yet, and you can not base how it will work on how karma has worked of recent months. Some members seem too stubborn to want to experience change, and people have said that if a trial version doesn't work out they'd be willing for it to go.

But the Karma system is the same as the one you are trying to pull there so why making a new one ? We already know how it will be working. We already have Karma which was made for the same reasons as the TIBB currency.

Those people who want a simple TiBB and just use the forum the so be it, but what about the people who do want a more complex forum ? The people who don't want it don't have to use it if they just want a simple forum. It won't effect those who don't want to and don't use it if it's there.

Will it not? It will put me off visiting the board for a start.

And will make it duller to finish.

Agreed. I think the majority want it anyway judging by this thread. =D

Wow, so you are basing it on 5 people ? (4 arguing at the moment)

That's a better way then. Let's do it.

Would laughing at that be incredibly immature and stupid? And be an act equivalent to infant behaviour? :blush2:

Sorry if I do agree with making a poll to see if the members want to see it happen or not. :rolleyes:
Now you can laugh.

(What was funny about it anyway ?)

Well if the admin are happy losing some members by adding it, then that is up to them and we'll soon see TiBB slowly turn into a joke.

I mean, it's a Big Brother forum, do we really need album covers and starbucks? Look at it realistically, we come here to discuss BB and then other shows and general chat, I really couldn't care less about my TiBB bank balance. Plus, I'd like to think the fact it will obviously encourage spamming will be enough to put the Admin off the idea.

Yep, it will make the mods work harder than they actually do.

Then why not start all members off at the same reasonable amount without having it added to the post count? It could all run from there...Just an idea.
