User Forum Achievements/Rewards

I have seen forums out there that are PHPBB3 and Invision that have an achievements/rewards MOD installed, and I really think it's cool to provide an incentive for people to post and achieve things as well; not only does it give back to the community, but the poster as well.

Say if a person posts 1000 times, they earn the "Spammer" achievement.

Or if they Private Message 100 people, they earn the "Spy!" achievement.

Customizing/creating your own achievements would be nice too, such as setting up variables and/or choosing/uploading the picture for it, setting points for it, have that some how play into a cash mod and so on, the possibilities are endless.

I actually have been trying to set up something like this for my forum but the problem is I am having trouble finding the needed graphics for the "achievements" I vote yes on this though as some can be 10+ friends 30+ friends etc and it doesn't have to be all about spam

Although I can see potential in this idea, I voted no. Does it really make the forum a better place, just because you get an achievement for a number of posts you make? I just don't feel the need of having this, you know? I mean, you can already do some achievements through the personalised profiles.

I voted yes.

What i think of this is that a ranking system which can easily be monitored by admin or a bot. According to what award it is then given to the user automatically and not manually done. Also there is a way to avoid the over spam. Place a fix limit on users to post per day but that is normally for larger forums dontcha think.

I do agree tho that adding awards through profiles is effective but the problem i noticed with that is the image pip appears 2 times instead of one..
Either way you are bound to run into glitches no matter what right

That is a great idea!

It would be kind of like the auto subscribe option to a usergroup.

We can kind of make it automatic when you make a rank, you can set the minimum amount of posts required to receive that rank.
