| | Since everyone is worrying about their credits and about being away for more days than the credits they have, i suggest having a mod where a member could donate some of his/her credit to another member. sort of Cash Mod.
The donor could ask in return some favors, like doing some scripts for him, an animated graphics perhaps, and even reputations.
what do you think about that? |

It's ideally a good idea. But it would be used to cheat. For example, a person creates an account, spams to get lots of credits, then donates those credits to his true account. Therefore, it should not be implemented. Though in theory, it is a great idea.

I agree. What if you ask someone to do some scripts for you, and when the job is done, you refuse to give him the hosting credits you promised to him? Reputations? A person can gain a good reputation by not doing anything! It's just not right! This is supposed to be free hosting, right? BTW: People CAN BE VERY greedy!

although it is a good thought, i do not think it would work. you might have some people who are pretty active and get a bunch of credits. then lets say one of their friends wants to make a website. they one with a lot of credits could give them enough to host a website and the friend might hardly ever be seen on the forums. in my opinion, the best way to deal with being away a for a few days and worrying about your credits would be to have an 'away mode'. it could have something where you can enter the number of days you will be gone and your account would 'freeze' for that many days. this would mean that you would not lose credits but it could also be set so you could not log in and edit your site during that time. just a thought.

It's a logical idea, but it is definitely flawed. If you want to be hosted here, you have to make a small personal commitment to the community. Your hosting credits reflect that. If all you do is reap them on someone else's behalf, it doesn't demonstrate that commitment. I think the system is best the way it is now...just my opinion, though.

Having a Credit Donation system is too risky, however, I have an idea that I think will work out very effectively, we should have a "member of the month prize", each month, mods and admins, and the members of the forum, will vote for which member who they thnk deserves to get a "prize credit" (say, 300 Hosting Credits  ). This would include how much they're posting, if they're a prominenet member, funny, cool, and helpful. And each month a new member gets voted, so, yes, hat wouldn't be so bad.

I'm just going to be blunt aobut this, stop whining about the credits system. If you can't make it work go buy your hosting for a whole 10$ a year. I'm starting to get annoyed about all these posts trying to get around just posting. If you can't do it, tough. Go whine to your mother.

I can do this.. But I think I will rather do it manually than creating an automated script for doing this. There is lot of scope for spamming here. But the idea is really good. A member leaving for a long vaccation can ask someone else to donate some credits to him so that he/she can have hosting account active. But I am thinking of a commision like system where 5 credits would be reduced in the total transaction and only transactions over 30 credits should be allowed or something.. So that I am not spammed with requests

Ability For Non-hosted Members To Award Credits.

As I already mentioned in the other topic, OpaQue has resolved one of the two reasons I am still
hosted, but he has yet to address the second. I would love it if non-hosted members are able to
award credits. Now I understand why it is disabled, because they gain credits faster than hosted
members, but you could put some kind of conversion tax on it so it balances out. I wouldn't
mind. I just feel like I'm wasting a credit a day on nothing. The only reason I still have my

A Way To Get More Space And Bw

OK its come to me that since people apply for hosting sights and are getting it without any problem,
so there is some BW and webspace not used by anyone atm. Why not give active members possibility to
get more BW and space? and by active i mean very active. Lets say i have a 30 credit pack. Upkeeping
that pack costs me 1 credit per day (30 per month) I can apply for another 30credit pack, but it
would cost me 60 credit and cost me another 1 credit per day (30 for this one and 30 for the
previous = 60 credits per month). Basicly you'll be getting another acount but wi...

I tried searching for this topic but the results were too vast in number to be able to go through,

in this sense? Do they have a mechanism whereby they analyse each post and then assign credits to
the user if he meets the requirement? Someone please enlighten me /wink.gif"

Credits For Clicks!

Hi everyone, As from the forum details/rules/news etc, it is clear that the revenue comes from the
advertisers, opening the forum and even clicking (without posting anything)can do the job. In my
opinion credits should be awarded for Opening Page and browsing. And ofcourse QUALITY POSTING.
This way no body will be tempted to post unnecessarytopic/spam etc. Admin, please correct me if I
am mistaken. Thanks.}}...
Show Credits On All Pages
- Not just the home page (11)
I've always noticed that you could only view your credits by going to the home page of the
forum, but didn't really think of having it anywhere else until now. My idea is to put the
little hosting credits box on every page (maybe a slightly minimixed version of it, without all of
the "if you aren't hosted..." info), so that we can save a pageload everytime we want to check
how many credits we have....
How To Sustain Hosting Credits
- A guide for the members (19)
I sometimes see trap17 members complaining about spending hours a day in an attempt to sustain
hosting credits. This is especially true in the reviews. It really isn't that hard. Here's
my advice on doing so efficiently. 1. The number of posts you make at trap17 doesn't determine
how many credits you receive. The staff even announced it, and it should be quite obvious, really.
Credits are determined by the content and quality of your posts. Make longer ones, I guess. 2. So
how do I sustain a nifty amount of credits? First, set a time you can post at trap17 ...

I think you should give us more credits on our post. The reason is I find it very difficult to com

since you don't get credits in the forums that are easy to think of stuff to post. You have to
post a paragraph atleast just to get one credit which seems not good enough. If I want to post
something how is it possible to think of a few paraghraphs just so I can keep my hosting service?I
would like it if you raised the creditting a little bit to make it a little easeir for ...

would join this program... and smaller credit things, like a small increase in disk space, or an
extra MySQL database or another subdomain... Something of that sort. Just a suggestion, and
i'm pretty sure somebody else has probably already posted something to this effect. Just wanted
to see if any moderators or higher level staff here would be interested in this kind of...

Credits Suggestion

I suggest that you make it possible for people to buy credits. The credits should be cheaper than

another 100. I think this will really lead to the success of this forum. Hope I helped....

hi friends, I just got a suggestion to make. Admins, just see whether it would help? Since there

that the topic starter can be given additional credits if he/she starts a topic which if of interest
to more members. This can be judged from the number of replies that are generated or by the number
of topic views. It can be set that for every 10 replies the topic owner gets certain credit points.
or may be for every 20/50 views that the topic generates, the member can be aw...

Suggestion: E-mail Reminder, Or Taskbar Application
- To let you know when you are almost out of credits (4)
Hi Everyone. I have a suggestion which quite possibly have been suggested before. My suggestion is
to have an e-mail reminder sent out to users who's hosting credits are below, lets say, 4
points. that way, users who can not return to the forums frequently could still be aware of their
credit status and avoid account suspension, it will also help bring back members to the forums to
post. Another option, which sounds best to me but might be harder to acheive, is to create a small
application that sits in your task bar and displays your current hosting credits, each...
Credits Per Month?

My name is Darker333 and this is my first Suggestion post! Well, if you want to ENSURE

avoid a certain day period before your account expires. Now, let's look at this: Current after
Package 2: 21.6 Credits -.something per day. To keep your account alive, you need to stay away
from the 0 by posting and when you post a lot of a long time the counter will stop going down,
depending on Admins approval. When the counter reaches 0.. BAM, you will get a 3-5 day notice sa...
