Credit per post and answer

AI-generated summary

The discussion Credit per post and answer started with Renato_Mendes introducing the concept of a credit system used by the Critique Circle community, where posting costs credits and answering gives credits based on the word count. Renato_Mendes asked if a similar system exists in the current community or if it could be implemented. HAWK replied that they were not aware of any plugin that offers this functionality, but it could be built. Renato_Mendes shared images of the Critique Circle forum, which appears to be Discourse-based, and Bas confirmed that the look and feel is indeed Discourse.

Hey, guys!

There’s an american writing community called Critique Circle that has an interesting feature for such niche (which is mine too): making a new post costs 3 credits, while answering gives you from 0.5 up to 2 credits, depending on how many words your answer had (they are trying to force deep feedback).

Do you know if there’s anything similar to that around here? If not, how would you approach it (be it by coding or by establishing deals with the community)?

I thought they were Discourse-based, but, if they are, it’s been heavily changed for their needs.

Thanks :slight_smile:

The page that you link to definitely isn’t Discourse and I can’t see the actual forum without an account.

I’m not aware of any plugin which currently does what you’re asking, but it would be buildable.

Definitely Discourse, right?

Ok, Hawk! Thanks for the quick answer :wink:

99% yes indeed. That look and feel is Discourse.
