karma: 1 |  Please expain the points system
Can someone please tell me how many points I need to have to enable me to have access to templates etc. I keep getting screen pop-ups telling me that I have insufficient points to carry out this action, but I've seen some with less points than me who have been able to view the templates.
Is there a simple explanation?
Many Thanks!!

You can find info here: Points
You get points for participating in the forum by posting, however there are other ways.

Does anyone know where to go to read about WHY there is a point system? I still don't totally get that, and have stepped on toes accidently by not knowing.... Is there something to read about that?

i will explain it to you once again even though it was explained in this thread: Points and in our PM discusission.
i copied the post AND bolded the section for you to make it easier for you to understand. let me know if you want me to make a powerpoint presentation for you. Quote: Quote:

what people don't realize is that hosting these attachments as well as opening them repeatedly and downloading them is taxing on the forum resources...it causes the server to be slow and one of the reasons the forum is down some days...
so the options are:
1. i can upgrade the server to a dedicated server. this costs around $2000 a month so then i would have to come up with a way to cover that which would probably be to charge members a membership fee.
2. do away with all attachments so it no longer slows down the server.
3. limit attachments being opening by charging "points"..."points" that are earned by members by posting, reading, participating on the forum. the information on this forum should not be one-sided. if you are not participating on this forum then maybe you should not get to use the resources freely...because as they say "nothing in life is free!"
so Brandi, please do not try to "cheat" the forum...it is not nice and things are done for a reason.
