the concept, the points and the benefits

the concept:
Based on the notion that the site has to be owned by the user, all the content is controlled by the users. Whenever the user contributes to the community by either posting a comment on the forum or by uploading a tutorial or by submitting a subject info to the movie archive database he gets points that allow him among other things (benefits) more space to upload more or better quality movies or higher level of privileges for the forum. Also that way the site is self regulated by the user. The users are the ones to promote or bury the work, postings and articles of other users through their voting and their recommendations and links in their personal pages.
