positive rep

Would this be separate to the staff one or joined on?

It would be combined - I would still happily post the stats for each department in the staff forum so staff can still see that but there will be a thread in the announcements for all of it mainly.

We can bring over the staff posting reward to the whole forum if that is what members want. If people are happy with that then it will probably start next week. It will also be probably best for users to join a usergroup if they would like to take part and to be able to gain the reward due to calculating the posts would be easier that way. The prize would be kept to reputation this time round to see what sort of results we will get with that.

In addition to this, it would be nice on what users think the criteria should be? The staff one is 30 or more posts each week and they earn 20 reputation points. We can increase or decrease either one - Would be nice for your thoughts on that!

mett uses a plugin to calculate the posts, dont think its anything to do with exclusion
id imagine the group to be open to join and not a request basis

Correct, nothing about keeping people out. Just makes it far more easier for us and it also means I can show you the actual results with ease.

Can you not just create one group and put everyone in it (including staff), would make things 100 times easier

might be more arguments if theres 2 running

yes but some may be unaware of the group's existance and miss out or be too late to the party and join at the end of the week or something. can u not just enable whatever feature u have for all usergroups

I was actually looking into that when Kyle first mentioned it.

If we can shove all users into a second usergroup without them having to do anything, then that would solve that issue.

If that's what has worked for staff then I think that is what it should stay as.

Seems like a good amount. Are these posts only in boards where post counts increase or do posts in "spam" count also?

It only counts for forums with post count enabled.

for posting thing couldn't you do like top 25 get so much rep or something then use the top poster plugin to determine top 25 posters in past 7 days and just make sure you do it same time every week?

(cba reading last 2 pages so if it's already been said my bad or if topics changed)

well that makes it a posting competition. I think a reward scheme for a set number of posts is a much better and fairer idea
