Score

This feature is a game to motivate people to participate in the community. Users are given points for things they do in the site, like writing an article, reading an article, starting a new topic in forum, voting a poll, etc. They also earn points by being popular, like having his/her blogs and articles read and commented. Then the users will be able to see their position in a ranking.

This feature is implemented in version 1.9

How scoring works

  • Users get an amount of points for events related to them
  • The amount of points is configurable
  • Users are ranked according to points earned
  • Events can be repeated or not. For example, earning 5 points for each hour logged in.

How stars work

Users are awarded color stars depending on their total score:
  • grey (Image ): between 0 and 99 points.
  • blue (Image ): between 100 and 499 points.
  • green (Image ): between 500 and 999 points.
  • yellow (Image ): between 1,000 and 2,499 points.
  • orange (Image ): between 2,500 and 4,999 points.
  • red (Image ): between 5,000 and 9,999 points.
  • purple (Image ): 10,000 points or more.

Typical Uses

The Score system is good for small and starter sites, to motivate new users to contribute. This can also help administrators to focus activity in one or two areas by granting more points to these areas, so that small communities won't get dispersed with lots of tools in the beginning.
