Original Content News \ Blog Postings for Points

[Zab]

Yes, I've seen this in action elsewhere^^^^.

Show me where! I can model after it

I think there are a couple of different directions this could go, and most have potential. One is just having an article section in the forum to post links in, basically the same way we do now, just with its own specific section. The other would be to have a section where PO members actually write articles to be published here. The best way to make sure a system like this wasn't abused would be to have someone review each submission before it's published on the site and make sure it isn't plagiarized and that the content is valuable, then award points. I think it could be very interesting.

We could have all articles go in a 'staging area' if they are approved by mods (or certain members) then it would be published on the main page.

Maybe you get points based on length, quality, # of likes, # of views .. I dont know.. Just thinking outloud

if....IF the threads etc are moderated and fucktards that spam are banned then im all for it

yeah it sounds like there's going to be a lot of copying and pasting going on with that

Then they will get denied and the normal user won't ever see the spam

If you have interest in this, help me design it.

My thoughts


- Listed on the front page (below the progressive prize pool boxes) will be 2 sections (sort by newest and highest rated) User news and Blogs (Or maybe we just do blogs?)
- When you submit something it goes into a holding pattern (A que) where Myself, Mods and possibly a few selected other users can read it and verify it's original content AND it's worthy of being posted on the front page
- If it gets approved, it gets posted (You get some points)
- You get XX points for the amount of times it gets view (Some fraud stuff in here to make sure you aren't just clicking your own)
- You get points depending on how long it is
- You get points depending on how well the community rates the quality


Thoughts?

those are pretty easy to figure out...

This sounds like an awesome idea Zab.
