Just a thought I had. Is it possible to add a feature in the shoutbox that allows you to give rep for shouts made by people? If someone gives you a good answer to a question you put in t'box, you can't give them rep for it. Don't know if its possible, but I think it would be a nice feature.

Unlikely to happen, I'm afraid. The shoutbox is too transitory and the Rep system is inherently tied to posts, etc.

That said, eventually I'd like to swap Rep out for a better rewards system.

That's quite cute actually. It also appears to be custom-made for them. Maybe I'll have a poke at a similar idea if their mod isn't released to the general public.

You also might want to limit some things like, how many times one user can rate another in one day, how many total ratings you can give out per day (Don't want people running around spamming "Dumb" ratings :P). Also might be good if you can implement a system where you can only rate once you post, thus contributing to ze thread (Also preventing 'ghost-rating' (A major problemo on FP)).

PS. WALLOFTEXT!

But im sure you must be aware of Rooster Teeth ?

They're rewards system is quite cool, ( like the one linked above ... )

They're system is called 'Karma' i cut this directly from thier FAQ

Q: What is karma? What gives me karma? What makes me lose karma?
A: Karma is a rating system where your karma level is raised based on how much you use the site and how much positive feedback other users give you. You can gain karma for making comments that get modded up and you can lose karma for making comments that get modded down.
