Everything you need to know about the Netpond member rewards and bonus points.
We appreciate everyone who contributes to the community. To say thanks, we've set up a bonus system for active members. It doesn't matter if you are a veteran webmaster or just starting out. If you are active, you get rewarded.
The system is based on Netpond Points. You earn these points by posting helpful replies, starting new threads that get good engagement, or sharing resources that other webmasters find useful. We want to reward the people who make this place worth visiting.
Once you have a decent amount of points, you can trade them in for things like free banner impressions across the network, permanent text links in signatures, or even cash payouts via popular processors. The more you put into the community, the more you get back.
Keep in mind that spam doesn't count. We track the quality of posts, not just the quantity. If we see someone posting garbage just to farm points, those points will be removed. We want real discussions, not noise.
You don't need to do anything special to start earning. The points are added to your account automatically as you post. To see your balance or cash out, head over to your user control panel and look for the "Netpond Points" section. From there, you can view your history and redeem your rewards.
If you have any issues with your points or think a bonus was missed, just send a PM to one of the moderators. We are always happy to sort things out.
