Topic: How the NZB 'Points' system works

Every member will have a certain number of Points displayed in their posts, and you can always view your own by looking at the far right of the Navbar at the top of the page.

How do I get points?

Posting: Posting threads, replying to threads, having people view threads that you have posted.

Betting: Place a sucessful wager on a vBookie event. These are designated by the blue $ icon. - Currently disabled.

Winning Arcade games: Place in the top 5 places of a game and take a share of the Jackpot.

Being given some by a kind person: People can Donate a portion of their points to you (and give them some Karma).

Being given good Karma: Make good, on-topic or helpful posts and people will give you positive Karma, which gives you some points.

Referring others: Click the Refer-A-Friend link in the bottom of the page and for every new member you refer, you get 500 points!

Stealing: Use the thief action in the Store or dropdown in the navbar to attempt to steal someone elses points. Beware, if your Karma is way lower than theirs, it will likely fail, and they will get your points and you will take a Karma hit.

This thread is very helpful, but if a thief takes your points, you do not know who took them.....do I understand that correctly?

You go to the Store menu and click on "store actions" then scroll down until you see the Theif action then click on "Recent Purchases" that will tell you who has been stealing what recently

*glares at KJM7*

Yes boyo ... I can see you've been trying to steal from me!

Who did you refer?

cant discribe

They aren't showing as active yet, they have to post...

Also, the fact that they appear to have been signed up at the very computer you are sitting at is highly suspicious.

lol, i know!
cuz they are my family!
and never mind! i dont need the cash
i get it all from the arcade!

ive been trying to find the store option for ever!
can somone tell me where it is?

petz/store Jake.

when i do that
Only the Petz options!
My bro has it but not me!!

ummm errr i have it, is it a style thing?

maybe someone cleverer than me needs to answer your question jake

maybe!
well, now its there.
no, its not the style...

I dunno then.. sorry

Well, I only just realised that you can only see the NZB points when you are using the default skin. That is something you might like to let people know; I was just using the XP skin and couldnt see any points options!

You can see them in the professional style too...

I just use Classic Orange...because its soooo pretty
