Point System modifications

1. I wish posts count as points only if published (resp. approved) in order to maintain the order of promotion from one member group to another.

2. It would be nice when setting up a new forum to specify whether we would wish to count posts and topics as points. E.g., we have a For Sale forum and 80% of the posts there consist of one word - "up". So there are members with 100 points and 90 ups. A check box "Points Forum" would do the trick.

I agree - a post even if not approved should not count, nor should "up" or bump posts, but we have a solution for the latter - bumping of sale posts is not allowed. It's a rules violation. You post and accept what comes, if 20 people post sale after you, that's the breaks. If they want something, they'll find it, and the hit numbers sure support that in our case! Even sale posts that are back 3 or 4 pages seem to climb fast in hits.
Sale ads should not count anyway, just other posts in our tech areas, so I'd also like to see number 2 as a possibility.
