I was driving home today and was thinking about a post MeatHead made. It was a great post and I was wishing there was a way to do more than just Rep and Thanks.
I thought about a form of micro payments where I would have money in my account and I could "Tip" him for a good post. I could tip him any amount I wanted from 1 cent to $50 or anything in between.
I see two possible ways this can be run.
1. The "Tip" link takes you directly to a paypal checkout page.
2. The "Tip" is transferred from your account to their account.
#1 takes more time and that would stop people from using it if you had to log into paypal every time.
#2 relies on the forum owner not to take the money and run.
What do you think? Other ideas? I thought about trying to develop this, but I'd rather pass it on to someone who has experience and can get it done since a vBulletin addon would benefit me as well.
