Suggestion for new ACS feature - post count wagering Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Could a feature be added to ACS where gambling could be done among users with post counts being used to make wagers? I've seen this sort of thing on BBS software before. I personally don't particularly care about gaining or losing posts, I would just find it entertaining to be able to occasionaly bet on a sports event with some other users..

I doubt this will fly. But I'll let the powers that be give a more official NO.

We could also raise money for the site by selling post counts, maybe at $0.02 each.

Tired of ads?

Give me 'Poly Dollars!!!

These could be purchased from the administration and used to settle bets and buy 'Poly merchandise.

What good is calling it a "post" count if you remove its relevance to posting?

I suggest you drop by at CGN. It has a whole betting forum, and plenty of other things to waste your money on.[/shameless plug]

I'll even give you a hefty starting budget if you want. PM me (same name there) when you registered.

It can be a good idea for the OTers whowant to be serious about their predictions. But if it cannot be atomatized, it's sure to taxextreme time to the mods, especially as people willwhine that they don't deserve to lose their postcount becaue of whatever BS reason.

yep... up to the owners... but all I see is yet another feature that will be probably abused by the posters I can think of many ways of abusing it even now without much thought on it

Suggestions for new forum features, and modifications to existing ones, are always welcome. That said, the answer to the one proposed above is no.

I suppose I'm no longer everyone's favourite dictator anymore...
