User Rights and Privileges

[amaster507]

In regards to Updating Church Information #5, there needs to be made a user point system where user earn points for good practice using ifbmt and the higher points allow the user more rights and privileges. I imagine this similar to how stackoverflow.com manages user points. What needs to be decided is:

• What actions to reward points to
• How many points to award for certain actions
• What privileges are granted at what point levels

Here are some initial ideas:

Actions and Points Awarded

• 30 Days Active User +20 Points
• 90 Days Active User +20 Points
• 120 Days Active User +30 Points
• Suggest Church Edit +2 Points
• Receive +1 on Suggested Edit +10 Points
• Receive -1 on Suggested Edit -10 Points
• Receive total of 30 +1's on Suggested Edits +100 Point Bonus
• Receive total of 300 +1's on Suggested Edits +1k Point Bonus
• Receive +1 on Public Note +10 Points
• Receive -1 on Public Note -10 Points
• Refer a user that signs up and reaches 50 points +20 +100 Points
• Downvote on Public Note -1 Point this prevents excessive downvotes
• Downvote on Suggested Edit -1 Point this prevents excessive downvotes

Privilege Levels

• Ability to Downvote 20 Points
• Ability to Confirm Suggested Church Edit 100 Points
  • An upvote from a user with this ability automatically counts as a confirm
  • 3 Confirmations needed before the edit is saved as permanent
  • suggested edits can continue to receive upvotes after confirmed from anyone who finds it useful
  • a user may only upvote or downvote an item once, but may change their own vote
• Ability to Edit Public Notes 200 Points
  • a user may always edit their own public note within the first 30 minutes
• Ability to Suggest Deletion of Public Notes 300 Points
  • A Downvote from a user with this ability automatically counts as a delete suggestion
  • 3 Delete Suggestions are needed before the note is made invisible to the public
  • Deleted public notes no longer can be downvoted

Rewards

• For every 500 Points: Next Month of Service Free.*

*If user is on quarterly, bi-annual, or annual plan, then subscription price will be reduced by one month.

This is just my rough draft idea.
