Is there any sort of points economy available for Codo Forum, whereby members can gain points [be it called Gold, Money, Zeni or whatever one might call their currency] and can then freely exchange them with one another?

Alternatively, is there an option to special purchase a plugin to be made for such a purpose, and what would that cost? If a reference would help, I have a plugin made for mybb, different systems but they both run on PHP so it could likely serve as a starting point I imagine [but I lack any PHP knowledge so this speculation could be totally off lol.]

I second this request.

That is indeed a good idea.
What is this mainly used for though?

Either as a sort of reputation/karma type featute for general community purposes, or for the sake of a game of some kind.

Its also often used to allow members to earn certain privilleges or trade the rewards of their activity for virtual products/favors either from staff or from other members.

So... can we do this?

yes but it will take a while as there are other important features on the queue

Naturally, I just wasn't aware whether or not this had been accepted into the queue.

Is there any place the queue can be viewed by the public?
