Can somebody help me figure out how I can add reputation points whenever a user creates a new post? I'm still learning PHP and I'm trying to add this feature on the forum I'm working on. The idea is this:
- when user creates a post,
- automatically add +2 points to his/her reputation points
The plugin, Reps on Registration (
mods.mybb.com/view/reps-on-registration), is a great example of this idea.
You probably don't want to hear this, but it's a terrible idea. Post count is for posts. Rep is for being a HQ member.
Could a points plugin be a better alternative to what you are trying to achieve? Most points plugins have this functionality built right in.

What point system plugin do you think would be best for this approach? I'm considering NewPoints (
mods.mybb.com/view/newpoints), but I'd love to hear other recommendations.

This is NOT a terrible idea! It wouldn't hurt to try and experiment on things to improve user-engagement on a forum.
I'm aware that post count is for number of posts. What I wanna do is reward my users with +2 reputation points whenever they create a post.
