Do You Allow Withdrawing Forum Currency?

[Nomad]

A lot of forum allows you to earn forum credits, even on FE, we can earn credits through posting. As an owner, do you allow your members to withdraw forum credits for real money? How often can members on your forum request for withdrawal?

This is something that I am contemplating ...

On forums that I own and help run, we do have credits around the forum but at this time, they can only be earned and used within a shop on the forum for virtual items.

It would be awesome if it ever was possible to allow members to cash out their credits but it would take some time to be able to get the credits system right so that they were earning as much as I knew we could afford each month without having to stop it.

I do feel it is great that so many people want to turn to this to help people earn a little extra.

I am running a forum where users can accumulate credits for posting. Until now I have not allowed forum credits to be exchanged for cash but I am also considering to allow forum credits to be withdrawn. However, before that I also need a strong finances.

Depends on whether I have funds to pay the members or not. Availability of funds depend on the revenue generated on my forums. Sadly, my forums do not generate enough revenue to pay the posters. If I want to allow withdrawing form credits for cash, I will have to pay from my pockets.

I do not have forum currency on my forum yet but if I ever implement forum currency on my forum, I would also allow members to withdraw. However, to maintain my budget, I would only allow small withdrawal like $5-$10.
