It's true. But wait, how?

Well, some of you have been wondering what the points system is for. The rest of you are just blind. I suggest you be honest and vote what you think, because it serves two purposes.

1) Points in the future will help parse out what is worth a damn, and what sucks.
2) Every point you get (+1 or -1) goes towards your overall points, everyone starts with 100. For everyone 1,000 points you get in total, you get $1.

This includes points you've already earned/lost.

This is also why creating multiple accounts is against the rules, and trust me, I'll be keeping track of it.

While you won't be able to get your money just yet (nobody is up to 1,000), this isn't a bad time to start contributing content of whatever sort and getting people to vote you up. And you should also vote others up or down, depending on what you think.

We need to work out with the lawyers and the Terms of Service exactly how to handle this, but trust me, you'll get your money if you contribute.

There are mechanisms to keep people from always voting up or always voting down, also flood voting a user is also banned, so you can't have a "everyone vote down Fantasty" day.

Currently the person with the highest points is Ruesap, and it's probably because he's contributed some of the best to the site in recent months, since we started the point system.

It's taking a while for me to get all up I promised because there are so many sites in The Hive currently being worked on. Your points follow you all over the hive, so you can contribute anywhere and it will help you everywhere.

Remember: be honest, vote honest, contribute.

Be sure to check out: http://projectparanormal.org/community/forums/ which we just launched, so many things don't work for now, but contribute to the forums if you're interested in the paranormal/UFOs/ghosts/big foot/whatever.

If you have any questions about this system, be sure to post in here.

>_< That's kind of annoying. I just recently posted a topic that is a test to see how low points can go.

Sounds like a bad idea Shandian Vise. Looks like you're out 10 points, but you can recover in no time.

Eh. Sounds pretty absurd at first, but being a lurker primarily, it doesn't really affect me, either. I had never intended to be more than a casual visitor here.

Neat idea. Now if only art could somehow be considered a contribution...

Not that I'm interested in money, but helping out the site is always a good thing. *__*

WHAT? A WHOLE DOLLAR?!?!?!?!?!

In all seriousness, I guess the points would add up over time.

Pretty damn cool feature.

Project: Paranormal also seems like a pretty cool guy. I'll definitely participate when there's actually, you know, stuff on the site. >_>

Wait? So your saying we
1. Get 1 dollar after hours upon hours of posting great content (you could probably find the same amount of money by spending 5 minutes looking in your couches).
2. People who don't have paypal accounts will have to give libelldra their credit card number or other important information to get the said 1 dollar.
3. Noobs and jackasses might end up owing this sight money (you never said if they would or wouldn't).
4. The trashcan will become a fucking suicide mission and so far it is the most popular room this site has.

This is one of the most retarded dicisions I have ever seen for a public sight, did you think this through at all?!

It got you to post, didn't it?

Edit: We're working on ways to make it more worth it, instead of 0.1 cent per point - and your Armageddon theory really hasn't happened, but it has helped bring down points of those who aren't really liked.

One whole dollar? I'm in. Now I just have to figure out that thing called "creativity". This is going to be difficult for me.

Also, Project Paranormal looks pretty cool.
