you mean like points systems other webites have, earning points grants you the ability to download content, animeost.net allows you to download anime OSTs, obviously as well as a host of other things.
are you implying we have a similar system but instead of it being called point of something else convetional, we called it gold or gp, as it is more fitting of a diablo website

theres another site that has Forum Gold as a currency for item trading in Diablo 2.
For example a member writes a post: Need Full Tals set offer forum gold.
people reply asking for certain amounts of forum gold, he pays it, thats it. The member that got it has forum gold now to trade say for a high rune for example.
To me it sounds like unnecessary work since we're getting close to Diablo 3 (my guess) anyway.
I don't see the point of having it. Currently everyone who is a member on this site can view and download everything. So by including this "reward" system, everyone would be immediately punished by having their acces restricted, and only a few would perhaps be able to get back to where they originally were. No thanks.

I didn't mean the "downloads" as a reward for forum gold.
I meant, make forum gold valuble, maybe a Forum Shop, access to buy a different color name (not admin/mod colors though), a bold name, italics, etc.
Also the ability to trade on d2 and possibly on d3 when it's released. But make forum gold hard to get, so people don't think it's worthless, maybe like 10-20 posts=1 forum gold. Like 1 post = .10 of a forum gold, or something along those lines.

i could c this being a good idea and also a bad idea with people turning it into a spam fest trying to earn gold. I think with proper restrictions it could implement well into the site for Purchasing merchandise or other things
Make it hard to gain gold, but make items cheaper, so they have to stay active or post maybe 1-4 posts per day, but also, once they hit a certain amount of posts in that day, they don't earn any forum gold.
Also the Forum gold, could be used to sell/trade Diablo 3 items when they come out. Not only for D2.
Like cd keys, games, bnet account, etc.

i think their should be a certin amount of gold to each person who join these forums b4 the announcement of d3. (b/c when its announced this site will be stormed). and then make another secion like the photo gallery but instead of seing photos you can see all the stuff people are looking to trade when d3 comes out and you can over some forum gold that the members oroginally started out w/

Good idea, and yes I agree, I think you guys should give a lot of forum gold out to loyal members of the pre-Diablo 3 era, I mean theres not to many of us who hang around these forums, once (if it does) D3 comes out, these forums will be HUGE! I mean like at least 20-30 members on at any given moment.

would only make sense for in-game trading and specific fixed prices on each item as it is on http://forums.d2jsp.org/
check on the forum gold FAQ to see how it works.
Please, whatever you do, DO NOT turn it into anything that has to do with real money. No no no!
As for buying color for names, italics etc, I can see that being impemented in a much more ocntructive way. Once all of D3 gets going, people who contribute will receive rewards. Yuo write a guide, you get rewarded. People find a post constructive and helpful, give you rep, and yo get rewarded.
So maybe the rep-system should be fixed first before we start with any gold ideas?

beefing up the rep system making it actually work, that is doable, we didnt have nor could we think of decent rewards for the system so it was removed. should decent rewards be made/found it will be reinstated

My first thought when reading the name of this thread was that it would end up being somewhat like the reputation system but in more working order with a little more reward. Why not just can the idea of gold and make some kind of reward for those with higher reputations. I.e. Changing the colour of their names, italics, bold and other pimping up abilities etc.
But then along with that comes a flood of fake accounts that are created in order to boost ones own reputation. Like the posting thing and the Forum Gold. That would encourage spamming.
So if you are going to create and idea like this you need to be extremely careful and possibly restrict peoples ability. For instance, make it so you can only give reputation after 500 posts or after you have been given the all-clear by a mod who has deemed you worthy. Then perhaps put up some kind of 'Wall of the Worthy' and a 'Named and Shamed' list.
Then you could use a reward system along with some kind of currency/reputation ranking.
well reputation on this site used to work by others building up yours, you cant directly build up your own. for example i can not add rep to myself, i can only add to other's reps, also you ca nonly add to each persons rep once.
this is good. but it is somewhat flawed. people can create a secondary or tertiary accounts for the purpose of beffing up thier rep of the primary.

Which is the main concern we have.

Put a time restaint on newly created accounts. You cannot give rep until after 1-2 months of membership. Quick spamming up is stopped by this, but that does not prevent spam once those months have passed.
Even after that time, restraint could be placed on the amount one could give. Let's say that one account can only give rep to a specific person once a week at most.
Even if this is implemented, we still have the issue of someone creating 10 accounts and then giving him/herself 10 rep every week. But, if someone goes through that hassle and is that selfish, I think people will notice on the boards anway.
One idea could be to give admins the ability to see which account is giving rep to whom. That way suspicions cold easily be verified by tracking a persons rep history.
