I couldn't find the mod request forum so I'm going to go ahead and post it here. I would like to make a mod that basically allows an admin to create different stats sort've like how custom profile fields work and name them whatever they please. For example... let's say an admin wants to make strength, defense, agility and will as stats. All they would have to do is go to an admin panel and make these (and they can make as many different stats as they please.)

-But- all players have something called "stat points" which they can spend on any of these stats. There should be two ways for forum members to earn stat points (one every certain ammount of posts) or when an admin "awards" them stat points (if the admins want to only allow their players to earn stat points by role play quality). Another method to go about this would be to offer post count in certain forums count towards member experience points (for example, every post I make I get one experience point), and when they reach a certain amount of experience they go up a level and get a certain amount of stat points to spend on their stats (an admin should be able to choose how many stat points members can get per level.) Admins should be able to set a max level that players can reach (like a level 50 cap etc etc).

This will come in handy for people who run forum based role plays that use stats. It will save them hours of updating things manually through editing forum fields in player fields when they can just go into the "Award Exp" or "Award Stat Points" feature in the admin panel and type in an amount and choose a player.

Just for future - Mod Requests is only a couple of entries down from this board -http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=79.0

The thing is, similar mods have been requested before and no-one's built them. The trouble is each one really needs to be unique to a given site rather than a cookie-cutter one.
Holder of controversial views, all of which my own.
