Community Points?

<img src='http://www3.waterstones.com/wat/images/special/mag/help_intro.jpg' style='margin:5px;' align='left' height='100' width='100'>HBH has a new feature: Community Points.

Basically its to encourage community interaction and improvement. You get community points for posting helpful forum posts, helping another member, adding to the sites content etc etc.

Community Points are designed a way to increase the helpfulness and productivity of the community and cut down on the amount of negative posts.

HBH has also broken the 20,000 members barrier! Keep on spreading the word!

HBH has a new feature: Community Points.

Community Points are designed a way to increase the helpfulness and productivity of the community and cut down on the amount of negative posts.

You get community points by doing the following:

<span class='small'>* These are not replacing hbh points, CP and hbh points are seperate and in this case both will be awarded.

Then theres a certain level of points that will award you a icon displayed under your avatar in profiles and forums for others to see how much you've contribued to the community and how valid your posts are etc. We are also updating peoples profiles who have already submitted articles etc, so previous article submissions will count towards CP, but previous forum posts will not.

Forum posts are monitored by admins and/or forum moderators. If they feel your post if worthy of CP they will update it there and then. CP in forums is only affected in the "Computer General". so any other category is neutral.

Ofcourse this system works both ways, if theres negative forum posts, or useless time wasting "other / logical" submissions, then CP will be deducted. -500 CP and your account is banned.

Community Points will not in any way affect your current hbh points. Points gained from challenges are completely seperate to community points.

So there we have it. Thats hbh's new feature for the week. Its gonna be kept getting added to each time we have something new etc. Also its still in its final stage of development, i.e forum icons displaying etc, so please bare with us until its 100%. Which it will be by the end of the day. Hopefully this should reduce negative comments and boast hbh's constructive and helpful articles/forum posts.

Best Regards,

• HBH Staff
