All right, here's how the site's new point system works:
2 points for registering an account (these are held in reserve until you post, though) 5 points for each advancement in posting rank 10 points for each active member you refer to the site 10-20 points for each suggestion made in an effort to benefit the site (25-50 points instead if that suggestion is used) 1-100 points for anything else that doesn't fall under its own category
Important note #1: Points are retroactive. This means that if you did something worthy of points before the system was implemented, you still get the points for it.
Important note #2: At the end of each site year (July 26th), I'll be adding however many points you've accumulated to your post total as a year-end reward. This means that your post totals can potentially increase astronomically.
Important note #3: In the interest of fairness, I'm exempt from receiving points -- not even the other staff members can give them to me, and I certainly won't assign them to myself.
Oh, and speaking of staff members, if they really want to they can give (or take away) points. The way this works is that admins and global mods can add or subtract points for actions in any forum, and Overseers can add or subtract points for things that take place in or directly affect their forum(s).
Here's the current standings:
SuperBassX84: 137 points Ape Killer: 137 points devo2: 117 points Elfie: 102 points Eldae: 102 points Belgarath: 97 points AnimaStone: 82 points Lady Enelya: 72 points Selvo: 52 points Disgruntled Misanthrope: 32 points Scythe: 27 points Wildkarrde: 22 points Aiden Hayes: 22 points Phoebe: 22 points Fea: 17 points Soulcatcher4: 13 points sean2k: 12 points Spastic Chicken: 7 points Stalin: 2 points Artanis: 2 points Wren: 2 points Kait: 2 points Silk: 2 points Red: 2 points KnighteMaire: 2 points General Kaibab: 2 points redorblue01: 2 points Panamon Creel: 2 points Armadillo: 2 points FFVImaster: 2 points styx: 2 points

Hmm, this could be interesting...but it also might cause some fights about fairness and whatnot, but i guess we'll see how it turns out.

It turned out okay on the 'Clave... I don't forsee any problems. And since the punishment for competitive spamming is having your post-count reset to zero, I don't think people will be stupid enough to post random crap all over just to get more points for being a Druid.

Yea, but on the Clave there weren't any rewards. I think you should have others to...review the reasons you give points. Because things that you might find "helpful to the site" might not mean anything to the rest of the members and stuff. Thats what i'm talking about when it comes to fairness

Lady Enelya: 124 points Galuwen: 32 points Sean2K: 32 points AnimaStone: 28 points Scythe: 21 points Predator Fan: 12 points Minorei: 10 points Kait: 8 points devo2: 6 points Ape Killer: 6 points Belgarath: 6 points SuperBassX84: 5 points Wildkarrde: 5 points Disgruntled Misanthrope: 5 points Eldae: 5 points Selvo: 5 points Cerebro: 2 points Captain Jack: 2 points King for a Day: 2 points

No, the first post was for last year... since those points were already added to everyone's post total (that's why Eldae passed a whole buttload of people on the top 20 posters list), I decided to avoid confusion by posting this year's points separately.

The points for this year have been added to their owners' post totals, so if you've noticed an increase in your post count (it's most obvious in Galuwen's case this year), that's why. There have been points awarded to 2 users to start off the year: Enelya starts with 19 points for having the highest karma rating, and Galuwen's 5-point bonus for 69 posts has kicked in as a result of her points from last year. The standings so far (active members with 0 points included):
Ape Killer: 30 points Lady Enelya: 19 points Sean2K: 15 points Galuwen: 5 points AnimaStone: 0 points Minorei: 0 points Predator Fan: 0 points Scythe: 0 points

Holy Jebus! I'm third on the post count!
Oh, and as for Ape's karma... I totally did not do that.
