Hello, and I love Alla 100%.
Some websites, have a reward-for-posting-slash-helping-the-better-good kind of deal, as in [url=www.bemanistyle.com]Bemani Style[/url] does and it works like this; you post and get tokens/some-sort-of-reward redeemable for on-site things. I think this would work good with Alla because it allows people with no Premium Account to take advantage of some of the offers it...offers(lol). Example, none of the features are availble until you reach 2 stars, and they are very small. EX, for every 20 tokens, you get one forum search, for every 20 tokens you get one post with smilies, for every 50 tokens you get a name for the next 24 hours, but no avatar-support (due to bandwidth). Also, let's say, you can hold on to your tokens and save them up (different amount for different rewards), and if you reach say, 10K tokens, you get a Golden Token next to your name. Also, if your reach say, 25K tokens, you get free premium membership for a week or so. Just to encourage people to post and help out the boards more often^^;
I also like the idea of having some kind of media to download, exchangable for tokens.
If you still don't understand, tokens are based per post. Every 100 letter or so gets you one token. This post would get me like 9 tokens. The more you post, the more tokens you'd get, heck, it doesn't have to be tokens, it can be like Platnium if you're viewing the EQ version of the site, or gil, etc etc.
Post whoring wouldn't work because after X amount of posting during a day, you can't get any more tokens. There is also a limit on how many tokens you can get (100~ a day) so you can't make 9999 threads and posts with kjdslkfjfjdslkfjdsfljkldsjldskjfdslkjfdslkfj;lfslkfs just to get your token count up. Journals don't count as posts, neither do item or quest posts (so those don't get all cluttered up)
Please respond on what you think of this ^^~
