PART 2
Points system and Karma-
We have a points system where you get points per message,subject etc.
It is called 'Phoenix Grace'.(check in your profile)

Right now we have +1 per message,
+3 per subject,
+3 per friend(yes u can make friends and foes,have u never checked ur profile? Razz),
+1 profile message(comments on profile),
+1 days since registration

The idea is to create a good point system and then make use of these points for different rewards.
We can also use this for promoting members. (More active & good members will have more points)

Admins can also donate points/Phoenix Grace to members who have done good work.

Karma is like reputation. You give good karma to those who make 'good posts' and bad karma for 'bad posts'. There is a '+/-' sign at the right side of every post for giving karma. Karma also counts in points. Positive karma is a good sign of healthy participation in forum activities.

Done.

Any comments should be PMed to me.
