Senior Members have access to the
Member Post Award system, which rewards members for making exceptionally helpful posts, offering assistance to other members, or any other behavior that contributes to making EntropiaForum an enjoyable, informative and valuable place to discuss EntropiaUniverse.
When viewing a thread, Senior Members will now see a new gold coin icon in the bottom left-hand corner of each post:
Click this icon to award a member, and a popup window will appear (similar to the give reputation window), where one can enter the amount of EFDs to award, along with a custom message.
The EFDs awarded are not subtracted from Senior Members' EFD balance, but rather from the
EF "Central Bank".
Each Senior Member has the following daily limits on post awards:
- 5 Posts
- 500 EFD Per Awarded Post
- 500 EFD Per Awarded Member
- 2000 EFD Per Thread
This new system is a great way to encourage members to make positive contributions to the forum, and recogonize those members who make
EF an enjoyable, informative and exciting place to visit.
Post Awards should only be given to posts made in Entropia Universe related discussion forums; threads and posts in the Off-Topic, Trading, Creative, and About EntropiaForum sections are not eligible for Post Awards.
Senior Members are expected to avoid abusing this system by repeatedly giving Post Awards to the same recipients too often; any member found abusing the Post Award system will be removed and excluded from the Senior Member program permanently (though I do not expect this to be an issue, as the Senior Members include some of the most well respected and honorable members of the forum).
