Should HabboxForum introduce an awards system?

[Sammeth.]

Hey guys,

This topic has been subject to much debate over the past, and a topic that has been considered again and again. For those of you who aren't sure, an awards system is where users receive graphic awards based on acheiving various different things, such as reaching a certain post count or special awards for helping out in the community etc. There are quite a few ways in which this system could work, but it would be interesting to see how the poll goes and what your feedback would be.

In before poll and error in title. Yes they should though.

[hah]

yes yes yes yes

but i dont think it works on vb 4 havent seen a forum with it and if you do give badges for things like reporting posts and taking part in events etc

dont you need vertical post bits to have then on postbits

Yes, it would allow users to be "more involved" with the rest of the community.

[jackass]

Yes! This will both attract new members, as well as keeping the old ones!

It should be displayed FULLY on peoples profiles (with descriptions, images etc.) and just the number of awards on the postbit. For example...

I think it's a great idea, it'd allow the new members to get involved easier and I think would keep forum members active and posting.

I suggest if we do do it you should get a badge for just signing up and posting cause thats what'll keep new users here

I'm not that fussed either way, but I'd probably rather the postbit wasn't cluttered with little graphics.

No because it makes forums look stupid, it will almost be as bad as habbo given out badges for changing your clothes on habbo.. the only way I think it will be good if the badges are not easily earned but I'm still not a fan of badges sorry I'm probs just a wet fart but yh

[Rixion]

yes they should introduce awards.

For me it pretty much depends on how they look (in the userbit). If they're big and ugly I wouldn't want the system at all, but if they are pleasing to the eye then it could be a nice new change .
