I like the new point system but I was wondering if points can be given based on the number of characters within a post. For example, a lot of members will post a reply of one single word or two words, etc... and I don't want them to receiev a point for that.

Is this possible?

Yes it should be quite simple to have this type of setup. If it's not included in the first release of v10 would be quite easy to add at a later stage.

The basic point system has been setup at present with just New Topic and Reply, but once all the new features are added will be extending this and seeing what can be added.

Great, I can't wait! This would be a very useful feature. A lot of members on my forum play game topics, where they reply with a number or a single word; I personally don't like those topics but I can't just delete them and tell members to stop... however with this point system feature it may give them a reason to start a useful debate or at least pretend that they are debating something since they get points.

I think one "fairly important" option would be to disable points for certain forums e.g. Test Forums or even General discussions.

Yes, it would be very nice to be able to exclude certain forums from earning points.  In addition, if a post is deleted, then points should probably also be deleted.

One more suggest for point system: a table where u can add prize point to users. Table must have field like: Number of points (integer), reason or comment (varchar), user (integer) and date.
