Today we installed a new point system that will allow you to earn points & awards for doing things on the site. No, you can't trade in these points for Nikon gear, but you can boost your ego a bit for being a helpful member of Nikonites. Maybe a little later we'll add something that will allow you to spend these points on site features. :)

To see exactly what you get points for see this page: Nikonites - Earn Points

To see the current rankings see this page: Nikonites - Statistics

You can browse the other tabs to see some other information.


You may see things being updated as we tweak the system.

Let us know what you think!

Darn it! Now I have to be more helpfull, critical, and stick my nose into more forum talks to get points and atta boys?? I always liked my saying. I never liked to lead. But, I also followed far enough back to keep my nose from getting brown.LOL All right I will get more involved to boost some (BROWNIE) points.

I do have to say there is a big list to get achievments and awards. Was just looking at them.

Is this an automated system of point Jdeg? I hope I'll be able to understand it one day. For now, it's just too new to me. But I seem to be doing fine so far. ;)

Yep, the calculations are done automatically. I'm still tweaking things a bit :)

The system has had some tweaks done to the amount of points that are earned for 'attachments', which mainly are photos you upload to a thread using the insert image feature. This does not count images from the gallery since they have their own points. It also does not count images that are not hosted on Nikonites.

Hmmm... does that mean you encourage attachments? I always point to an image URL on another site when posting images. I figured that was preferred since no disk space was required to store the image. Maybe I've got that wrong.

JDEG,

Is there a REWARD for using your advertising links posted on Nikonites? ;)

I would think you would like that and would want to encourage it.

Just a suggestion and a thought.

:)
