Admin: Credit Economy
Credits are the community's internal currency. Members earn them for taking part and spend them on games, boosts, tips, and cosmetics.
Turning credits on
The credit economy is off by default. Enable it at Admin → Config → Features → Credit System before any of the surfaces below appear.
Economy dashboard
Admin → Economy shows total credits in circulation, credits earned versus spent over time, and top earners and spenders.
Default earn and spend rates
New tenants start with these defaults. You can change any of them from Admin → Config (Commerce / credits) or the economy settings.
| Setting | Default |
|---|---|
| Starting balance for a new member | 500 |
| Award for starting a thread | 250 |
| Award for posting a reply | 100 |
| Award for an accepted friend request | 250 |
| Award per 5 KB uploaded | 500 |
| Cost to play a game | 25 |
| Tax on gifts and tips | 10% |
Higher roles can earn at a multiplier (Moderator 1.25x, Administrator 1.5x, Super Admin 2x).
Granting credits
Admins can grant credits to any member from Admin → Users → [Member] → Credits.
Feature costs
Set the credit cost for games, boosts, and tips from the economy settings.
