since you are basing this on another forum's system, the main way to obtain points there as far as I have seen is 5 per post, 0.1 per word in a post, and items like "giving trees" which distribute a certain amount of points per day or something and can be bought for exorbitant amountsDoing it for positive post ratings sounds neat but I wonder how difficult linking post ratings to karma (or whatever system is used) would be.
