Fcbarcelona101 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hey Ed and Jeff what happened to the brickpoints? forgive me if you posted something about it in the other forum topic, if you did, I missed it. They are running in the background while they finish to tweak the forums. From what Jeff said, there may also be some changes in the way the are calculated/awarded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I wonder if there are additional ways to earn them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mack Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 It will just be a good week or so before anything pops up again with brickpoints. Forum posts and everything are still calculating, but I need to work out many other things behind the scenes. We will announce something when its all straightened out.

Ed Mack Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The Brickpoints system is run slightly different on the new platform, so Jeff has to make some adjustments. While it might not be run exactly the same way as before, there will be other new ways to obtain points in addition to some of the older methods that get carried over. It is my belief that one such way would be to get a "like" or ARROW UP for a thread or post. I will also continue to give Brickpoints based on the amount of content submitted for reviews. Whatever the final version will be like, it will be fair and fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakinisvader Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I think instead of Brickpoints you should award candy. Pixie Stix would be great. Pure sugar rush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mack Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 It is my belief that one such way would be to get a "like" or ARROW UP for a thread or post. This is currently active. Right now its set for +1 for positive comment, and -5 for being a dummy This may change and will need to be monitored. Anyone caught being stupid giving negative points just for the heck of it will be banned instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Mack Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 The Brickpoints are still being counted. We will address the Brickpoints situation around the same time that the new Blog feature is activated...maybe in a week or two. There will be modifications to the Brickpoints system that work with the new forum and blog feature. Some things will be carried over and re-implemented and others will not. There will be new ways to acquire Brickpoints that are designed around producing content for the site, quality forum posts and helping other members. All in all, there will be many more ways to add Brickpoints to your account. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshTX Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 This is not a bad idea. It makes sense if someone is getting belligerent and mods want to punish, but I see major issues with disciplining people like this if they are conducting a calm, valid debate or disagreement. I might say I love the Atlantis theme, for example, and my post gets downvoted because many others don't. Should I lose brickpoints for that? Its somewhat of a slippery slope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Agreed.....even the most heated debates on here are toned down due to the maturity level and tact that the members here display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
