Mockup V1 by @Builderluke. Feel free to make your own! If its better, I will replaceBefore reading this, I want to say that this resembles a rejected suggestion.

The points might be hidden accordingto how ST implements
If you are an ST member, and still see this of no use, then you can close this topic and add this to the rejected suggestion. I myself think it isn't a great suggestion but it got into my mind :P

There should (not compulsarily) be some sort of ranking on honesty/following guidelines
The count should be near the follow button (someone can make a mockup if this topic isn't closed) Here is how it works: NO POINTS ARE GIVEN EVERYDAY FOR FREE (cuz new scratchers will get less)

• (new scratchers points will reduce less for first 14 days)
  Everyone starts with +500 points
  
• For “correctly” reporting comments (optional cuz complex) +20
  
• For helping in forums(people can mark them as helpful. But 2 per topic) +50 The topic(OP) creator can only mark as helpful. Not like u make an alt and get (your topic × 50 points)….. ok? And.. you can't create multiple OPs (TOPICS) cuz that will be spamming and you will instead get: (no. Of topics × -50 points lolol)
  
• If a person is on negative points, +5 everyday to give a chance
  
• If helped ST (like dupe find, etc) +x (depends upon the type)
  
• Found hack/major bug and reported without abusing +250 (I don'tthink its fair tho cuz… people who have the knowledge can only find.. but its good to keep)
  
• Username = Ankit_Anmol? (Ahh.. just joking) +100000000000000000000
  Note that getting featured or top loved doesn't do anything
  
  
• If spammed? -5 per spam
  
• Forum spam? -50 per post
  
• Necropost? (Ofcourse not in suggestions) -20 per post
  
• Inappropriate word usage? -10
  
• Inappropriate project? -50 (idk about this cuz projects are false mass reported)
  
• Inappropriate forum? -25
  
• Inappropriate profile/studio? -1 per curator invited
  
• Inactive? -0 lolol
  
• Scratch project Ads? -100÷10 (hope you know maths)
  
• Outside product ads? -100,000,000,000 *seriously*
  
• extension ads for scratch? -100
  
• Outer extensions ads?(saying you have) (You know it… don't know? Here -100,000(some mercy this time lol)
  
• Anything else breaking guidelines? -y (remember i used x?)
  

This is a total theory. I won't feel sad if this wasn't implemented (but pls fix filterbot)


Advantage: Promotes to be responsible and respectful, help website
Disadvantage: brings jealous feelings and… people might rage if false reported

What can we do with these points?
Also people like Jeffalo and Apple have gotten real money ($) for finding vulnerable bugs.

OMG??? BUT APPLE IS A MULTI-TRILLION TECH BRAND!!!! DID THEY GET ALL THE TRILLIONS FROM FINDING “BUGS”? WOW!!! LET ME PASS JEFFALO AND GET MY “money”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/offtopic]

No support, this can be used to brag about having about 7478 points. If this came out, I would set my goal to 7478.

How about becoming a Scratcher gives you 500 honesty?

And also, what if the ST could limit proposing projects to be featured and such other actions that require you to become a Scratcher to those with 1000+ honesty

What is stopping me from using an alt and marking all of my posts as helpful, redeeming nearly 420,000 points?

what is stopping me from making an alt to follow myself 100000000000000000000000 times. getting banned.

No.

• When you mark a post as helpful your username will not be publicly available to everyone, so the report system will not work for this like how it works for follows.
  
  
• You need to make a lot of accounts to get soo many followers = more effort. But you can get 420k points with one account.
  
  
• The REcaptcha system is there for making accounts, so you can't make a 100 automated bots to follow you, whereas there is no REcaptcha system in the forums, so you can use a bot for that.
  

Therefore, your line of argument isn't valid. fdreerf is right.
