Earn credits through link clicks in a thread

Award 1 credit to the thread owner when a user clicks a link within said thread. This will reward creators who choose not to use the option to hide links. To prevent people from 'farming' this, credits should only be awarded when a registered user clicks a link.

Unfortunately there's no setting for this so it would need to be something custom if it's possible at all & with our dev being inactive since April I wouldn't hold my breath on this being added any time soon.

Just messing around I noticed there's something that kinda does this already. Yeah it hides the link but you can charge x amount of credits to unlock it & if you don't have an account you can't unlock it. Here's a 1 credit example:

It's unfortunate that access has to be 'bought', and the link gets hidden. I appreciate you taking the time to check though

Yeah I get what you're saying. Although if it was done your way with the link fully visible people would probably get pissed when they're charged x amount of credits for clicking a link they didn't know took credits from them or they could just copy & paste the link & bypass the credit taking completely. Keep in mind everything has to be spelt out these days in general so it's better that it's obvious & impossible to mistakenly click it if you don't want your credits taken.

I didn't mean taking credits from other users, I just mean earn credits when a link in your thread is clicked. Similar to how you earn credits for making threads, replying to existing ones, etc. The credits don't necessarily come from anywhere, they are just given.

Ah okay well that makes more sense. Yeah another case of me being a dumbass who knew. Unfortunately the credits have to come from somewhere & the person who made the add-on I guess either couldn't or didn't bother tryin' to figure out how to just give credits without them coming from users.
