[ This plugin was being debugged for 2 months. It was tested and is being used on a few live sites. ]

After enabling the plugin you will see points and ranks being displayed for each user below their profile icon:

as well as on the user listings:

Those points and ranks represent the number of points user got for his activity on your site. You can set how many points user gets (or looses) for certain actions. You can also set how many points user has to get to go higher in ranks, and what the name of the rank is.

There's also an action available from the user's submenu. Admin can add or remove points for a given user thanks to this action:

There's also a history of points, showing what user got his points for and showing a sum of user's karma funds.

FULL VERSION:

INSTALLATION:
