After a lengthy and detailed discussion with all the members of the BioRUST staff, it has been decided to introduce a credits system. The idea is simple - You use up one
BioCredit per resource download, and gain Biocredits in the following ways:
- TWO BioCredits for each post made in the Forums/Gallery.
- ONE credit for every vote made in the battles section.
- TEN credits for every successful battle fought (nothing if you default).
- HALF a credit for every vote made in the webindex.
We spend a lot of our time bringing you all these resources for absolutely free, so is just a few minutes of your time in return too difficult to ask? Hell, you might even learn something!
If you are looking for quick ways to build up your credits, you may wish to heed the following advice:
Hint #1: Reputation has a massive effect on your BioCredit total. If you make helpful posts, other members will give you a +1 bonus to your reputation, which will count towards 10 BioCredits. Anyone who has a post count of 1 or greater can add or remove reputation from other members, and the amount of reputation that you can give/remove increases directly with your own reputation score.
Hint #2: Spam will be deleted promptly and offenders given a -1 penalty to their reputation. This penalty may also be given by other members to people who make troublesome or unconstructive remarks, so keep your posts constructive and spam-free.
Hint #3: If you don't feel like posting in the forum, go into the gallery and give feedback. Earn reputation bonuses by giving as much detail in your feedback as you can! Simple 'its cool' comments tend not to impress anybody.
Hint #4: If you really don't feel like talking at all, go and rank sites in the webindex section. Each vote you cast gives you +0.5 BioCredits. Resist the urge to just click any old score - there is truly nothing that I can do to stop you, but you destroy the quality of the index... and in the end that penalizes everyone.
Hint #5: If you want mega BioCredit rewards, contribute to the tutorials section! Each tutorial gets in the region of 10 to 30 reputation points each, which equates to a massive 100-300 BioCredit bonus! |
If you have any questions or feedback, just post in this thread, and you will be answered as promptly as possible.
Update on 18/Nov/05: Following a review, the BioCredits system has been reweighted, giving more rewards to forum posts, and less to votes. These changes have been entered above.
Update on 15/Sep/06: The rules have been revised to include the new battles system, and rewards for participating, voting, etc.
