I have created a ranked points system into my forum so each member will have a new special bar in their profile indicating their progress towards 100% corresponding to how well they are contributing in the forum. Here is the information:
1) Your goal is 100 points or percent in which upon receiving this criteria of points you will get awarded with a special prize that will remain unnamed to public and members (including assigned moderators).
2) You will get an increase in points when you
i) Be exceptionally kind and considerate towards other members
ii) Post regularly and sensibly
iii) When you contribute exceptionally well to the Spam category (don't ask why)
iv) When you contribute (just) well to any category at all
v) When you compliment the forum and it's administrator (Me)
vi) When you also join my external chat service at
http://chat.damian.isgreat.org/ and also visit the chat rooms regularly.
vii) When you recommend friends or others to the forum and convince them to join
Remember that these are the targets to achieve to get a mystery award so stay put.
Note this is not a competition between members but it can be if you choose so
