Title: Gold
Post by: Olorin on June 19, 2008, 10:03:42 AM

Hello everybody,

As you may know, I am quite new in this forum and I think, first, I should apologize for my "strange" english...  :o

I've got a question: what is Gold good for in this board?
How can I get this and to whom I may/should/can give this?

Thanks for your answers!

Best regards,
Olorin

Right now, gold isn't really used for anything. In the (hopefully near) future, though, we will have a forum "shop" where you'll be able to purchase items and add-ons with your gold, like custom titles, extra forum features, etc.

Gold is typically given for making particularly useful posts (such as giving someone else a good review of their deck design or dream cards) or just being a useful forum contributor. :) You can give gold for the same basic reasons. For example, for bringing up a good question, I just gave you one! :mrgreen:

As much as you want, though you can only give someone gold every 15 minutes. I'd also recommend not giving it ALL the time.... :roll:

Now, now, that's not advisable, asking for gold is strictly forbidden. Gold is earned, not begged for.

Can you take away gold if someone is being an #$&*@!?

But if you did that you'd lose gold too, for being an #$&*@! for taking gold away.

We administrators can and would if someone really deserved it (like tOO back before I ever showed up at CC apparently deserved for cheating his way into more than he should have had in the first place).

And there IS a switch we could flip that would allow any member to add OR take away gold from others, but we determined that would probably backfire sooner rather than later. :roll:
