A point system would DEFINITELY promote and encourage activity on any forum if there are rewards in place. The Members Shop plugin offers so many incredible features.

I have people on my forum that have been members for some time now, but have never taken the time to add a custom profile image or add a cover photo. I would love to be able to set a point value for doing each of these. I would love to awards points for each time they update their status also.

On my main site I sell shirts, I have a rewards program where every time someone makes a purchase, they earn points for which can be used to save money on their next purchase. I would love to have Percentage Discounts setup like 10%, 20%, etc. where these can be bought with points they've earned on the forum. They could let's say trade 2000 points to buy a 20% coupon code which could be used on the site.

Rewarding members for participating on the forum is definitely the way to go. 

 

 

 

Since I doubt IPS will ever release something like this, I probably will end up buying Members Shop plugin anyway. 
 

That´s right

 

That´s right

It would be INCREDIBLE if this was a built in feature though. Anything that could be used to entice, encourage and promote members to participate and be active on the forum is a huge plus.

As you said, there´s currently an excellent resource to do that. So Invision focus in what is lacking here, as an mobile app, etc

True. We definitely need that mobile app, I do agree. I guess I will be purchasing Members Shop at some point. It looks like Automation Rules is no longer available. I needed that too.
