    Oh I have a forum Credit Balance now - This must be a new feature / Enhancement.

    Now its got me Intrigued in to what we might be able to spend forum credits on.

    I wonder what Other PAF Members would like to spend forum credits on too and is wondering if there might even be a forum credit giveaway or forum credit competition.

    Yep I know your all busy with the VU and able to play with pets too and work out where new looties are and where sweetstuff is on arkadia.

    yesterday one of the Arkadia Officials was 'selling' Pet Nusul for forum credits, so that is one example.

    Maybe not pets. It would just add a stress factor of having to feed them. *thinks back to siblings going crazy over Tamagochis*
    I don't suppose we could convert them to PED/PEC in lack of a better suggestion.

    Let's just hope it doesn't cause a lot of forum spam in an attempt to get more credits faster.


    Addition:
    Looks like the Quote option didn't like the already exisitng quotes.

    It was 3 credits for 1 Nusul (price did drop from 10 I believe, when more were tamed)

    Maybe I can get a half-decent body sculptor to fix my torso for some credits. The usual suspects are never online (when I am) and I'm tired of waiting.

    I have noticed that there are a few individuals that are 'over-active' on the forums in order to get forum credits. Is there a way to stop credit abuse in any way if something seems 'off' with certain individuals collecting credits?

    I have no problem with people that just want to read every post, I do too as I try to keep up to date with what happens on Arkadia. But when you start noticing things out of the ordinary one starts to wonder.

    Yes, I can take their credits away at any time :sneaky:

    I've noticed it too and its normally a fair indicator that the account is a spambot as it racks up a massive number of credits from automated thread scanning in a very short space of time.

    I've been binning them as I remember to check the point/credit balances.

    Good to hear that you have noticed it too and are taking preventive steps to avoid credit abusers (or credit farming abusers). Let this be a lesson to all ya botters out there!

    lol are u afraid someone will catch up with You, I see you have raked in a couple yourself compared to most in the forum Lizzy :)

    Just my opinion, and I am sure I am allowed to give one :( If you find a bot then fine, I agree with You, on the other hand I don't see an abuse if one reads all the post and not just the ones relevant to a specific search. Not all the readers hunts credits.

    Apology in advance if I stepped on someone's toes, its a very fine line one walks if u start accusing others. :)

    Well, I have been given some credits too, which explains my current balance.

    But mostly it is about abusing a system that is most beneficial for those that are (very) active on the forums. You can also see it as a form of reward system, or at least that's how I see it.

    You forgot to add an evil laughter to that post and you petting a cat. You failed being a genius!
