Has there been any thoughts of a points system like www.activerain.com They have a pretty good system that gives points for things such as a blog post, photo upload, articles submitted, friends recommended, so on and so forth. the person with the highest points gets seen the most. Any word on something like that or possiblity of it?

I'd be interested in something like that as well...

I've been looking for something like this as well. Currently, I've been planning on doing this through a cruel combination of an excel spreadsheet, a dedicated points tab, an events plugin and a whole lot of man-hours.

I'd be willing to chip in some cash to get this one made.

I'm very interesting for something like this...
Something who count the user activity in points is a great idea... if possible includig the forum messages (fb for ex.) is very very very interesting and i search something like thise and found nothing...

Hello,

I don't know if it is exactally what you are looking for, but i had a custom component done awhile back. I am in the middle of redesigning my site so at the moment i am not using it, but in dev sites it worked well.

The idea was that in the component you could set x points for an action, so submitting a link gave you x_link points, whilst submitting content gave you y_content points. This was put into a table db for each user. And in addition you could give 'Karma' to personal profiles. There was a module that showed the top x best users, and lowest users. Have a look for 'Karma' component on here. It was based on the origional karma plugin, but just had a mambot created to automatically detect Some common tasks. It may not suit your needs but even if it provides a base for you to work on it might be of some help.

hi trav.
im very interested in this, do you still have the component available?

many thanks. sam.
