Let us reward those that allow INReview to exist. So it shall be written - so it shall be done.
What are Reward Points?
Reward Points are a means for INReview to reward its members for planting the ideal fruit in the harvest; brightening a glittering star in the sky. Creating an elite post will yield points upon its author. Reward points set members apart from the rest.
Why bother with Reward Points?
We may merely be idealists, but we believe the use of Reward Points will help to enhance what is already a great community. The core hope in this philosophy is that with the potential for reward comes motivation: the seed for growing expanded intellectual capacity and sharing it in a public environment. Those already achieving this elevated plateau of forum existence will reap the benefits of our rewards and those that are almost there will try even harder.
What value do Reward Points provide me?
Once a month, points will be tallied and the two members with the most points will be awarded Platinum Membership for the following month. Members can receive Platinum Membership no more than two months in a row. However, once a month passes, they are eligible to receive the reward again. Gold Members are given the option to give their Platinum Membership to a non-Gold Member.
 Platinum Members will receive nearly all of the benefits of a Gold Membership for the period of one month. Gold Members receiving Platinum Membership will receive additional time added to their existing membership in one month increments.
Finally, a year-end poll will be created allowing the members of INReview to determine who of the twenty-four Platinum Members for that year will carry the title of Diamond Member for the coming year.
 A Diamond Member receives complimentary Gold Member benefits for the period of one year. A Gold Member receiving Diamond Membership will be credited a full free year.
How do I get Reward Points?
INReview staff will directly hand out reward points. However, any member is capable of nominating a post for reward points.
Reasons for receiving Reward Points are as follows:
- Exceptional Post.
- Initiating an Excellent Conversation Starter.
- Post contains a High Level of Humor.
- Remaining Calm and Collected in the Face of Conflict.
- Demonstrating you are a Clear-Cut Debate Champion.
- Find an excellent Resolution to a Conflict.
- Referring people to INReview (see My Info in My INReview).
- Reporting Bugs in the Forum that are Confirmed.
- Making Forum Feature Suggestions that are Implemented.
- Finder's Fee (nominating a post that receives Reward Points)
- Induction into the Hall of Fame.
- Member Referrals (added to your total at the end of the month)
Can I nominate someone for a Reward - if so, how?
Absolutely! At the bottom of each post is a 'Report/Nominate Post' button. Click on 'Nominate Post' to fill out a form for nominating the post. If a post you nominate is accepted, you will receive reward points in the form of a 'Finder's Fee' and be notified via Private Messaging. Only the first nomination of a post resulting in points awarded to the author will be rewarded.
What are Special Nominations?
There are two types of Special Nominations: one for the Hall of Fame and another for the Hall of Shame.
Hall of Fame: When you come across what you feel is a superior post ranking above and beyond the rest, please nominate it for the INReview Hall of Fame. However, please be selective, most posts being nominated for this honor will be turned down. Member's receiving this recognition will receive the highest of reward points.
Hall of Shame: This collection of posts is reserved for those you might find at the very bottom of the scrap heap of intellectual waste. While these can be humorously stupid or so ignorant it hurts, one thing is for certain: they are utterly shameful. Member's receiving this recognition will receive no reward points but can be happy knowing their work is being admired one way or another.
Who can see my Reward Points?
Only you and INReview's Staff can see your reward points.
Who has already won Platinum Memberships?

February, 2004: outsider and mystic
