Is there a provision in q2a for admins to reduce points of a user on any misconduct?

Question

Power with admins only so that they can reduce points of a user if the user does any misconduct with the website.

And also can there be a way that users can their self donate points to other users on helping or for anyother reason. Or even the users can reduce donate their points to get any higher power in any q2a website?

Answer 1

You can reduce your users points as admin with addind minus (-) points to the Bonus Points at User's profile page.

Well if reducing of points can be done by (-) then this is great. I haven't tried it yet but surely I will.
But still donating of points is also a major thing that I need.

Did you set any value of prior bonus points for all users?
[Admin ->Points]

yes ofcourse, at the time of registration every user gets 100 points at initial.

If you wish to reduce or add points to your users regularly it will easy to you set that value "0".

I do not wish to change points on regular basis, but to deduct points for any spam or misconduct done is a good idea.
And most importantly if points system in q2a is given more power so that users can do certain things with their points then it would take q2a to a whole new level.

Agreed. As Admin you can change your users points with bonus points. According to my knowledge other users only can change others point by voting on questions and answers. If all users have permission to change others points it could be misused. Only admin approved members will be award this permission.

Well I think that I have not cleared my thought to you, I am thinking that if there is a competition going on then the users can take part but only if the choose to loose some points and those points will get deleted from their account and will not be transferred to some other account, first example is this.

If in future some system is built like in stackexchange, that some question can only be answered by the users who have a fix amount of points and that fix amount is set by admins of administrator. So if I have a valuable information for such a question and I do not have that much of points then I can borrow it from other users in exchange of some badges or other stuff or even normally. That's what I am thinking.

I know that building such a system will mess up a lot of things but still developers have developed q2a till here so I believe that they can do this as well. As some of the features are already on stackexchange so this is also not impossible.

Your idea is great. Now I have better picture in my mind. Presently q2a sites, points are only awarded not used. According to your idea users can use their points to answer and ask questions. If someone needs points to answer or ask question he should has enough points or has to ask points from other members. Yes this will definitely build good relationship with all members. I have no experience with stackexchange but have similar experience with yahoo answers. You can suggest this idea to next version of q2a (1.7). Hope to see upgraded points system in next versions.
