Tutorial: Community Experience

[racersimage]

Community Experience is an advanced Level and Activity System with Shop and Awards. I don't have the shop enabled at the time. It calculates activity and experience score for every user based on their activites on the forum. Users will see how their level is increasing by participating in the community.

Communities are not only defined by post count, they need much more parameters: Are the postings the user creates helpful? Are his threads frequently read? Does the user participate on the community by posting pictures, attachments, leaving visitor messages, tagging threads? All this can be answered with this addon.

Calculation of the score
Taken into calculation are these things:
Threads
- Created threads
- Thread views of own threads
- Thread replies of own threads
- Thread votes of own threads
- Thread tags
- Replies to own threads
- Sticky threads
- Socialgroup Discussions (Discussions, Posts)

Posts
- Created posts
- Views on attachments

User
- Days since registration
- Referrals
- Received infractions
- Reputation / Use of reputation system
- Visitor messages on profiles
- Members of own social groups
- Albumpictures
- Friends
- Completing Profile

Misc
- ibProArcade Highscorer Points: Gives points for most arcade wins.
- vBulletin Blog: Gives points for most blog entries
- Who Downloaded This Attachment: Gives points for reading topics with attachments and downloading them.
- Thread Necromancer: Gives (minus-) points when a user is posting in old threads. Contains also Thread Necromancer Award.
- Scrupulous Poster: Gives points for editing posts. Award users that are editing own posts instead of doing double post.
- Deletion Addicted: Gives points when an user/nod soft-deletes post, thread, visitormessage, groupmessage or picturecomment.
- Arm of Law: Give points for moderators who are using the infraction system
- Discussion Ender: Give points for people who are the last on a discussion

Calculation of the activity
The system calculates the activity by taking the average post count of the ten most active user and comparing it to own post count.

With the latest upgrade there's an 'Activity' option within the Experience stats that shows points earned and lost + awards taken and given. To access the Experience stats and shop area just click that Community link up there and select Experience from the dropdown.
