I. Introduction
As you can see, we've installed a point system to the site. This is fairly common with Proboards sites -- however, this system does not come with an already-made shop. Due to this fact, these rules must be created, as well as expected to be followed. Failure to comply will most definitely result in consequences.

II. Earning Points
To earn points, you have multiple choices you can consider. Please note that this may change at any time. This list is also in no particular order.

• Join and enter contests. Although few contests provide a participating bonus, entering more contests also gives you a more likely chance of becoming Member of the Month. Placing in a contest will also win you a number of points, depending on the host and the difficulty of the contest.
  
• Post a lot. Each post you have earns you two (2) points each. However. Ghost-posting and spamming is not allowed. Points will be deducted, as well as a warning given.
  
• Work hard to receive awards. Members picked to receive awards are chosen based on various things -- these things will not be revealed to the public. Simply work hard and stand out (in a good way, of course). Staff members will also be eligible for these prizes; however, if a staff member is chosen, s/he will not be a part of the conversation in deciding the winners/awards, rest assured. All winners will win fairly.
  
• Advertise like hell. When posting our advertisement, it's recommended that you add your username (NOT display name -- Ex. Raine's username = admin.) to the bottom of the already-made referral request to those who view the advertisement. I'm sure those who read and check it out will fully understand what I mean. Of course, you may edit the request to however you like. However, new members will not be pressed to tell -- speaking of who referred them is only optional.

III. Where / How to Spend Points
Points can be mainly spent at the Point Shop.
Simply PM Raine which product you'd like to buy, and, once your points have been deducted and a confirmation message has been sent back to you, it's yours.

IV. Closing
A few more things about the Point System.

• If you're the owner of a graphics shop, you can charge points for whatever you wish to charge. HOWEVER; once the deal has been set, and the message (holding to who the points are being given, as well as how many points is being deducted from who) is sent [to Raine], there's no going back. But be aware -- moderators are watching the threads. Attempting to get extra points (more than asked, and the customer is not aware) will result in one's own point deduction.
  
• Another thing to do with your points is sponsor a contest, or, if you'd prefer to say, make your own. By creating a contest, you can use points as a prize. These points you're giving to the winners will be taken from your own account. Staff members will also be participating with this rule with personal contests. Official site contests will not be deducted.

With all that said,
we hope you enjoy our new system.
Thank you~!
