Points- Websites today can be so impersonal and thats something we didnt want at SkateboardSpots. We wanted to reward those who trully contribute to the community we are trying to create. That is how we stumbled upon the idea of a points system, and member levels. It brakes down like this, everything you contribute on SkateboardSpots you get credit for in the form of points. The points are what advance you through the different Skateboard themed levels of the site. The levels provide a sort of gauging to the site, allowing you to know the amount of participation and expertise of an individual in the community. If a spot is posted by a member who is a grommit (the first level), you know this is a person who dosent have the experience posting as another member who is say a "am". Our hope is to eventually be able to offer monthly contensts for each level of experience, but remember, this is a site began by a group of Skateboarders. There is no bloated brandname corporation behind this site, just four broke skateboarders who want to make something worthwhile on the web.
