How to earn Silver Credits & Credit rules

There are 3 types of credits on the Sophia's Pleasures Forums. 'Silver Credits', 'Gold Credits' and 'Platinum Credits'. The one discussed here is 'Silver Credits'.


Silver Credits

These Credits are earned through posting, and through other means (not all publically known), inside the forum itself. Posting, starting new threads... even the number of words in a post influence how many Silver Credits you can earn! There are also bonuses when you change Rank Status as you post and your post number increases, wich gives you extra Credits. So post away, your Credits can only go up!

Silver Credits can be used to interact in other sections of the forum, as well as being able to exchange them for either Gold Credits or Platinum Credits, or to exchange them for services and products (memberships in Sophia's Pleasures site or other affiliate sites, or for DVDs, autographed pics, special webcam shows, etc. after exchanging them for Gold or Platinum Credits) offered by Sophia's Pleasures. These Credits are also sometimes used to play the different games on the board, where you can increase your earnings. These Credits also give access to certain private areas of the board. You can also get more Silver Credits Bonuses from Admins, when they notice you making very interesting posts and uploading really nice images! Contributing really pays on this site! It's a win-win situation.


Other cool ways to increase Silver Credits

The Bank
The Bank is where you can deposit Credits, for a return in interest. The interest return rate is 2%/week on deposits, and the withdrawal charge is a one time 1.5%. Of course, like in real life, making short term deposits is less advantageous than placing Credits for longer terms. You have to decide what you wish to place there, and what you wish to keep for current operations on the board. Please refer to the Bank Thread for further information and instructions.

The Lottery
There is a weekly drawing of 10000 Silver Credits. (10000 is the Base Prize Pool, since the jackpot gets bigger as people buy tickets. The ticket price of each ticket is added to the Total Prize Pool.) Please refer to the Lottery Thread for further information and instructions.

The ADR, an RPG game
ADR is an RPG game, where you choose and build your character and interact in a 'Dungeons and Dragons' type game, leading your character through campaigns and balttles, acquiring items and experience along the way. It can become pretty lucrative when you are careful, as well as very difficult for you financially if you do not plan things well.... Beware, this game can become highly addictive!

Exchanges, donations and loans
This was left as a possiblility for users and is still in evaluation, depending on how it is managed by all of you. If there is abuse, this function will be disabled. This function gives you the right to exchange currency with other members, to donate to other members, and to lend currency to other members, on terms that you can decide between yourselves. The site and/or the founder/admins/mods/staff will not be held responsible for loans made by a 'loaner' and that are not honored by the 'loanee'. However word goes around, and default 'loanees' will definitely lose their reputation on the board. Donations are perceived as a gift, just be clear when you make a donation, so that all parties involved are aware of the fact. If it is a loan, agree on the terms (or lack thereof) before sending any Credits to anyone.

Gold Credits & Platinum Credits
These types of credits will be described shortly in their respective threads, please refer periodically to this document and in this section of the site for additional information.


Credit rules

Value
Silver, Gold or Platinum Credits are not to be exchanged for valid official currencies in any country. These Credits only have an exchange/use/market value on the Sophia's Pleasures website or it's affiliates, for use on these sites only. This exchange value is evaluated by the Admins of the Sophia's Pleasures website and it's affiliates, without any recourse on the part of it's members, or any other person interacting with the Currencies set on this website or it's affiliates.

Flooding
Definitely not permitted! Anyone trying to earn Credits through flooding will be automatically banned.

Fraudulous behaviour
Any member caught doing anything fraudulous according to these rules and regulations, will be automatically banned, without warning, and with total loss of any Silver Credit earnings on the site, and a totally blocked access to the board.

Unacceptable or innapropriate behaviour
Any member caught doing anything unacceptable or innapropriate according to the rules and regulations of Sophia's Forums can be automatically banned, without warning, and with total loss of any Silver Credit earnings on the site, and a totally blocked access to the board. In many cases, a private or public warning can be issued to warn the member of this, and for him/her to adjust his/her behaviour on the board. If the warning produces no results, the Admins reserve the final decision to ban him/her definitely.

Disputes and litigations
If you have an issue regarding Credit attribution/management/use/value or any other issue regarding Credits, please contact an Admin. No issue will be dealt with publically. Everything will be delt in Personal Messages. Sophia's Pleasures reserves the right to anull/delete/remove/change/modify any part of this agreement, at any time. Public arguments will be delt with swiftly, from priviledge removal to more serious sanctions, and can even end up in banning of the member, without warning, and with total loss of any earnings on the site. Private Messages is the way to go. Final Judgement on issues will be published on the Forums, in the appropriate sections.
