You can currently award points to users for... * Registration * Comments - You can also have points removed if you delete a user's comment or mark it as spam. * Posts - You can be selective in which post types get awarded points, and award different amounts for different types. As with comments, you can have points removed when a post is deleted. * Visiting your site - You can award points to a user when they visit your site at least once in a time period, once per day, for example. All points transactions are logged and can be reviewed by administrators and displayed on the front end of your site using the [`[wordpoints_points_logs]`](http://wordpoints.org/user-guide/points-shortcodes/wordpoints_points_logs/) shortcode. You can also display a list of the top users based on the number of points they have using the [`[wordpoints_points_top]`](http://wordpoints.org/user-guide/points-shortcodes/wordpoints_points_logs/) shortcode. The plugin also provides [several widgets](http://wordpoints.org/user-guide/widgets/) that you can use. Many more features are planned in the near future, and you can check out the roadmap on the plugin website, [WordPoints.org](http://wordpoints.org/roadmap/). It is also possible to extend the default functionality of the plugin using modules. For more information on that, see the [developer docs](http://wordpoints.org/developer-guide/). == Installation == Before installing on multisite, it is recommended that you [read this](http://wordpoints.org/user-guide/multisite/). 1.
