**What would you like done?**
I want a **contribution system** that offers points for complete some things in our forum (badge system could be useful in development but we need **points** , not badges).
The objetive of that plugin is motivate people to share their knowledge and support our community.
> _Example:_
>
> 100 points for posting in X category (KB).
> 50 points for be the top monthly liked or poster.
> 25 points for invite an user (applicable when that user goes to LVL2/3).
**When do you need it done?**
There is no hurry but could be very useful if it’s finished in the next month.
**What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?**
I can pay market price but I really don’t know how much it could cost. I’m open to offers.

Hi there, no ETAs asking please.
The plugin will be published in #Customization > Plugin when it will be finished and you could contribute with ideas, testing, funding (not only asking but sharing a good feedback) 🙂

Well, I can’t update OP but then we can post the plugin finished, so I update that thread here because there are interested people 🙂
## What’s the plugin do
Grants points to users that fits with some requirements. It was thinked to complement badges, not for replace them.
> _I think there are **a lot** of badges and they lose their motivation function, so Point System bring that to us._
If for example our dev @Ahmed_Gagan post in **#some-category** (moderators needs to aprove every thread in that section), he wins X points.
The same applies if he becomes the most reactioned user in month and [some more actioins](https://github.com/Ahmedgagan/discourse-rewards/tree/main/spec/jobs) (Github).
## Why that?
We have a good rate of signups but not a good rate of topics/replies **unless** we do internal contest (if you post good threads, you win).
Our rules are very flexible: no spam, no violence and we are very receptive, so I think that some plus of motivation could push up the interaction in our community by design.
The plugins wants to motivate people to share they experience. I think that every lvl 1 user can contribute on every community in the world.
_There is no expertise needed for share experiences, points of views or just ask good questions._
### Screenshots (in development stage)
_Reward Badges icons will be SVG to fit our style-branding but could be FA icons as well with some edit in code._
We want to display that points:
[image|690x398](https://meta.discourse.org/uploads/short-url/2T9qhTM2zSDsxX7EDqG5CYhA7fe.png)
### Development done [very slowly at the moment]
- New actions to be granted _(new [custom badges](https://meta.discourse.org/t/some-common-badge-queries-idea/31859))_
### In development
- Add three stages for every action: bronze, silver and gold (to keep all the community motivated and not only new users).
- Display points in user card and profile like screenshots shows.
- Rewards page to claim by users and private for staff.
### More ideas that can be developed
- Possibility to choose what [reactions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-reactions-beyond-likes/183261) count for ‘top liked’ _(not minus in 😪 reactions but not count that one)_.
- A good styled listing of winners with slider like dashboard to filter time, a kind of _Awards page_.
The plugin would be open source and I like to know what do you think about it. There is a lot of space to improve it 🤟

It’'s going to been published, is almost done.
Please don’t harass because there will be open source and there was no ETA neither contribution by your side _(no offence, just take that in mind for good reelationship in Discourse community at general)_ 🙂

hi renguer0,
It would be lovely if a feature like this can be added:
for example, 5 points for daily sign-ins.

@Ahmed_Gagan I’ll mention two features that are a must IMO
- have the reward system ignore action rewards from certain categories the same was it ignores ones in PM. Most communities have a lot of activity in Staff categories which currently skews the results
- leaderboard by week, months, year filter. Activity deprecates fast nowadays with highly contributing members leaving communities and new contributors appearing so a period of time filter could help a lot, including opening the possibilities to “user of the month” or the alike

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the suggestions, I really appreciate it and I do like these features. As this plugin was built for specific requirements of my 2 clients @aksoforever and @satonotdead so we haven’t added it.
If you wish to sponsor these features I can add those for you.
