The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us. Buy any item on AMAZON, and we'll use the small commission to help improve critical thinking. Buy an Xbox One -- PS4 -- Laptop -- Apple

We will have the RRS store offering downloads and other related products, working this year. Points accumulated now, will be redeemable in the store.

Even in the FTT forum?
Not sure. Probably not. It was my hope to have the points shared from FTT over here, but my coder never worked that one out for me. It's a bitch to set the store up twice, hard enough to set it up once. We'll see. And even so, we can set it up at a much later date.

I think you worded that carfully sapient...
Technoly you could wait till next new years
I know I would enjoy such a system with being so cheap and all. I know I want the scientology show probably those more educational shows too.
Maybe you could have downloads for desktops or icons at lower point levels so people can still get cool stuff? I might even be able to help out with some of those things.
Or maybe have a thing were someone can send in a pic and I'll put the RRS badge in the background.

I like the idea of the points earning you downloads, better avatars, ranks, or whatever. But yea, I have no clue how to do that
Maybe you could eventually earn your badge? heh
The Enlightenment wounded the beast, but the killing blow has yet to land...
Avatars? No, but you could always send in a picture of yourself and for some odd 100+ points have your picture with the RRS badge photoshopped together.
Just an idea.
There does tend to be some very cool ways to use points on a forum. Usually I've seen such a system on a forum mostly dealing with role play, getting bigger avatars with more choices for them, more access to forums generally locked to average members, even occassional mod powers, etc. But it works with more commercial type applications like downloading and shops as well.

I could do it myself. :P (But I wouldn't without the expressed written consent of the RRS and the National Football League.)

Lots of fun ideas in this thread, feel free to keep em coming. Basically we'll have a full store, and all items will be for sale, but in lieu of cash you can use points. There wont be specific items that are meant for points only. With this in mind we don't want to compete with our biggest sponsor evolvefish, so you wont see much of what they sell, we may however get them to donate some items for the store here and there. Your purchases and donations will earn you points as well.

The only downfall I see here is that people might make lots of meaningless posts just to increase their point totals.
Woo hoo that's 4 more points for me
"It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan
This is true. Spam is usually a big problem for forums when bringing in point systems. Usually however it only lasts for a little while, especially when forums have a "void" area to throw useless and meaningless posts so that points aren't rewarded for their posting(the second a post goes in there the points awarded for it's posting are automatically removed). After the first outbreak, you get the odd incident from a new member, but they tend to learn quickly.
I would recommend a slight change in the point awarding. You get twice as many points for a reply as you do for a topic, when topics are by definition more site content than replies are.

I think it would be cool to receive customized banners in exchange for points. You know, something you'd post on a website/myspace site/blog/sig etc. that maybe had a message with your username in it. "(random dude) is a proud member of the RRS." or something along those lines.
Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine
I just installed a module that allows me to add points and subtract points from any user I want. Abusers of the point system will receive reductions with no explanation, people who make lengthy and poignant posts each time will receive increases in points with no explanation. We wont use this feature often, but it will be used.
A few adjustments will be made today to reflect some of the posters who really go the extra mile to maintain a high level of quality in their posts. In the future we will come up with ways to award people points for specific actions, as we now have the capability to add at will.

I hope nobody gets upset about these additions, the following users have been awarded points for a high level of quality in their posts. So many of you deserve more points based on this, so many of you have contributed immensely to helping to stop irrationality, and in the future as time permits we'll find ways to recognize all of you. Thanks for hanging around, but these people have been very important in my eyes:
Todangst: 1000 (the mods all deserve 1,000 points but it's tedious to add and subtract points, so accept my apologies. You'll all be rewarded with free access to shows for your hard work at somepoint in lieu of extra points.)
BobSpence1: 1000
Hambydamnit: 666
MarthaSplatterhead: 666
Randalllord: 500
StMichael: -500 (irrationality discount)

LOL for the -500 irrationality discount. Damn. Wish I could have gotten a 666, but shit, I got a pretty high count anyway.

Matt I think you'll be able to manage with that 3000+
What an excellent idea! These folks have certainly made significant contributions.
And, instead of an irrationality discount, why not call it the "La La La I Can't Hear You" negative award?
