I suggest admins should make a currency/money system in this forum. It will bring lots of good uses in this forum. For eg, u can activate the Special Shop(Admins should know that) and allow members to buy the effects.(I also have a miumu so i know how it operates)
You can also create an item called 'Access pass' for those who is rich enough to buy it and get an access to the restricted area. Of course, you should make that item as expensive as possible so not everyone would be able to get it. For people to have money, you can easily create jobs or give an amount of money to a few people who have contributed greatly to the forum, maybe once a week.Bear in mind that there are more ways to get money than that. I hope the admins will consider this suggestion as i believe this will spark the forum greatly.

Just looked at some of your other posts - why not have a look at the rules etc of this forum and read through them before posting more? I don't mean to be harsh but you'll save yourself a lot of complaining replies if you read the rules before you post.

I for one definitely don't like that idea. Nothing against you personally but why on earth do we need a currency system?!

What's wrong with all other magic shops? NUMS is fairly closely linked to TM as the owner, seige, is a moderator on this forum.

Uh, so you get into the MO area if you can afford it and not if you're a good magician or not?! Nuh-uh.

Sorry, but this one is definitely not good for me.

I see your point, but access shouldn't be about ability to pay. Put simply, as per the rules (and I heartily suggest you spend a few minutes reading them, as Kati also suggested), if you can be trusted to keep things secret and you've made good, helpful contributions and have posted useful reviews of effects you own and use, the sainted mods will gather in their mystical cyberchamber to judge your character... That's all there is to it. It might take a month, it might take a year, but the secret is simply to join in. Asking will make them frown mightily upon thee, and smite thee greatly

It's also important to note that the secrets area is for discussions of a slightly more open nature about effects and handlings the members are developing. It's not a place you can swap copyrighted materials, so forget that notion.

One other thing is, the mods don't take kindly to change.

I think u got my idea wrongly. I said the access was just an example.Not a must. Admins can choose not to put that. And because u guys( the two above my message ) told me why i should not so i think im not talking about it. As for the special shop, only admins know that. (If there is an admin reading this, im sure u know what im talking). It is not a magician shop thing but actually a place u can add colours/effects to your name and rank.It makes your name more colourful and blah blah.
P.S.:I just wanna suggest something that would make the forum better, not to create trouble.
If the admins think the currency thing is not good, then fine, its up to them in the end, right? I just think the effects shop will have good uses<----like have decorated names.
Okok, i know, im just a newbie so i may violate some rules but i too have a miumu(head admin should know) so i know how it operates.
Sry for the inconveniences i have caused.

With Regrets,

Kati go make your sen a cuppa and watch born to perfrom. Calm down! now this little skamp has been posting here there and everywhere. Mr Browning has scolded him at some length but it dose make good reading and i agree with him. The little chap should read the rules and then re read them and if he dont understand them read them again!

From what I can gather he is not talking about currency as in actual cold hard cash but is desribing what is known as forum credits or forum dollars.

How they work is that if an admin sees a particularly helpful post he awards the poster an ammount of forum currency. The forum currency that then be redeemed to access special boards, perhalps unlock tutorials.

Now while this is a good idea for a forum looking to build up its traffic, I dont see it as being benificial for here, the forum is already active and thriving, and the method currently used to unlock the protected forums (IE whenever an admin feels you are ready) is probably sufficiant enough.

That would surely be a bad idea because then members would post all kinds of rubbish trying to score forum dollars to unlock goodies and then the forum would end up even more cluttered than it already is

There is a way to make people earn money which is by jobs or by admin's donation. Admins have the power to disable the money earned by posts. They can also choose whne they want to use it or control it. Its totally up to them. Even if someone has alot of money, the admin can remove them. So theres actually no way a person can spam to get money. Whats more, the junk posts can be deleted or moved into the sinbin. So i dun see why Misanthropy said:

*sigh* whatever i do, its always to no avail.

But it would mean extreme moderator control. They would have to monitor each members every post, to make sure everyone is getting their 'money' in the proper way. You would need a complex set of rules to govern how many points you get for each and every contribution. Sounds like a lot of work to me, and not much point in it.
