Yes you set in the admin Panel what points you want to give for such things as taking Polls, Making Polls, Doing Shouts, How many words or Characters a post has.. and subtract em if the user deletes a post.. so these points build up and you can purchase items that you put up in the Item Section or Purchase Features such as ChangeName ChangeTitle Larger Signatures, Images in Signatures, Glowing Names (Flashes in Mozilla), Shadowed Names ( backgrounded in Mozilla), etc.. You can also Auction Off items you buy and when the auction is over you get the points and the user gets the item...
