idea!!!

hi all this is an idea to the mods/zab for something fun that will help people to earn points thru posts and bonuses ill admit it is taken from another forum i used to go on and it proved a big hit there

the thread was called the wheel of morality thread

the rules were simple
u had numbers from 1-100 with variying prizes both good and bad (would change in accordance to the site obv)
so as a rough idea
0 + 100 1 week ban from the site
1-50 nothing
51-70 100 points
71-80 3 day ban from the site
81-99 500 points

the idea is that the mods use a random number generater site (randomnumber.org i think but i can have a word with one of my contacts from the other site to get the right web address)
and they use this site for each poster and edit said post with the results
you ant post again UNTIL someone else has posted after you (if u do it results in an instant 1 day ban)

if u like this idea let me know :) think it would be good for the site :D

I think it is a neat idea, but we already have so many ways we earn points, through posting, leaderboards, speedway...and I don't know if you have seen the quality of the majority of the posts here alot of ppl use just to get their 25 points, it would be tough.

thats the great thing, the posts dont have to be quality it would effectively be a spam thread (which would hopefully clean up the rest of the forum)
plus with the threat of a ban in there it would just make it win haha

oh the original had more options like u could win a ban for someone else n stuff (to make it less easy to get points but still fun) as well as name changes and stuff

zab said he wanted another way to dish out points when kill the sneaks disappears due to the coupon system...this could be it?

Why would Zab want to ban people from a site that generate revenue for this site?

Hmm I am not quite sure, if I fully understand this idea...

right basically the mods set up a thread
a poster posts in the thread
then a mod uses the random number generator to get a number from 0-100
depending on that number the poster can get a prize (points, the ability to change someones username, or a chance to ban another member for a selected period of time) or a forfeit (ban changed username (mods choice) etc)
the mod that used the rng would edit the posters post to notify them of what they had won
any clearer?
its that simple

the mods were evil on the other forum last thing u wanted was to get ya name changed by one of them lol ud of preferred the ban LOL

Cool idea, but needs to be improved to be integrated if it really wants to be placed in.

well obv this isnt the final draft the basic idea is there i just need to see what the mods/zab think

for the fuck of the sake thank you spam bots for letting my idea thread go to the bottom of the page, i will NOT let it die i want it to happen!

these fucking spammers are really pissing me off i know a mod has the power to delete posts....some cleanup would be good so we can get this thread and others BACK on TOPIC

I have to re-read this thing because I didn't understand any part of it.

Where is this on another site

and it was on the clipwire forum (think its since been removed pending revival)

its all part of the gamble and it is a gamble totally if a user does not wish to enter they dont have to and thus do not risk being banned

the idea could be made better... but banning people from the sites isnt good at all

Well it's different that is for sure .. I don't know that I would play mainly because I would not want to be banned trying to win 500points when I can make more than that sleeping through a couple last longer bets.lol I will gladly join in on the banning of people though! lmao

thats just what they did on the other site they sometimes did one where u could win extras for the games they produced
the basic idea is there tho...pluses and negatives
do what u want with the idea so long as its implimented i dont care LOL

i would rather see us come up with a daily fun contest of some sort

You can always buy in with points, and it can be called the mystery box or something...? Users have a chance to enter up to 10x per drawing with a buyin of 20 points?

With 100 drawings you would have 2000 points, and there would be a payout accordingly.

I thought about doing a 'pick the lock' where you get like 3 guess's at a 3 digit combination.

ooo that sounds fun! If you get a digit right you should hear a horn beep for each correct digit like on the price is right that would rock!!! lol might also give people a way to cheat so nvm the beeping still cool idea.lol

well would never ever post in that thread seems stupid to be banned for contributing to the forum

Yeah, but if you got banned for a week that's not fair to people like mods/admins/contributing members.

also means u dont get in the games either so zab loses the amount of peeps in the games seems like a no win for the forum

the ban thing was just an example of what a diff forum did for a negative. Just dont use a ban as one of the negatives.
