The Evil Credit System


Recommended Posts

Man, I log on today, and what do I see?

 

"Become Moderator for a Day: $X"

 

WTF?!?!?!

 

I'm all for the things that are eye candy, like how YD said, but Moderator for a Day? We'll have spammers who get enough points and become...

 

...moderator....

 

*shudders*

 

I don't like that thought.

And ye, it'd be very nice to know what the things you "buy" look like....

*wicked idea*

 

God, I'm really evil...

 

Why don't we get some of our more prominent moderators to model the new options for us? :dev11:

 

I vote that we get Niner to model a pink version of the glowing username :dev11::D:p:D

The "mod for a day" feature is one that I heavily disapprove of. What if someone like "Al - Back from the big whoop" or "AcrylicGuitar" start using it? Especially since I'm currently embroiled in a huge row in the Harbor about my moderating (oh, I could do with some back-up on that, by the way). But, we'll jsut have to see how it goes :)

 

Uhm...what would be so wrong if i did become mod for a day? its not like id do any damage.

Pointless,...

 

how about minus points if u are caught spamming/flaming/breakin the rulez n such

 

...because that account would be recognized a spammer, subsequently banned and your real account would afterwards be on the line.

 

If you spam, you die. Simple as that ;)

It's not really pointless, as then you can get, say, 3000 points in about 30 minutes, and then become a mod. Of course, the only person that'd do that would have malicious intent to begin with, unless you're that desperate to have your name italic.

 

But anyway, I think that's been fixed. Those that did that have been banned from the store, from what I know.

I think that the credit system is a good thing. Like Aristotle said, we are here for some fun and I think features like that only add to it. I myself am shooting for a glowing user name. :D

 

I am scared to death though of anyone who wasn't named a mod becoming "mod for a day." :(

Hm, I wonder if I could sue LucasForums for false advertising :)

 

It should be mentioned that Glows are not a standard HTML feature - and thus if you buy a glow for your name only people using Internet Explorer will see them.

 

So if a Mozilla/Netscape user buys a glow they might wonder what they have wasted their credits on, as it won't show up!

 

Anyone using Mozilla/Phoenix, Konqueror, Opera (I think), ecetra, will see nothing unusual.
