What do we need to consider?
Things to consider!
How should it work?
With teamwork! I mean ...
How do users gain whatchamacallits?
Are >whatevers< bought or earned? Secondary consideration, if they are earned, how?
What should it be called?
Points to be made about themed vs. unthemed.
Should avoid anything that could easily be construed as a real-world currency, whether past or present.
"Points" has negative connotations for some (see mailing list).
Neutral term that avoids excessive themeing or cuteness: "measures"?
Social engineering, calling them 'Kudos' or 'karma' ??
Should we offer one denomination level or several?
Depends on the relative price range of services to be offered?
Recommend establishing a few base values to give people some idea of intended relative worth: e.g., one year's paid account is the base unit with smaller purchases being a fraction thereof, or one extra userpic is the base unit with larger purchases being multiples thereof.
