Hey all,I was wondering if someone could help me out on how to get my BTS points out of the negative.Thanks.

Post more, maybe start some threads.
Hope this helps.

Get them out of negative by making posts in BTS, responding to posts, etc, etc...same way you get points everywhere.

How did you end up with negative points though?

Yeah I got that problem too... it happened when I was new and didn't understand the points system used at the store and used the BTS points by mistake.

SO HEY MODS... SOME HELP OVER HERE OKAY???

It happens when you buy something and used combined points. You go negative in BTS because there are not a lot of points there.

Yea,I think that happened to me(the ATS store),I still don't fully understand the whole point thing or what the difference is a the ATS store.

Can I use some of my ATS points to bring my BTS points back to positive?
I just don't think it's fair that I get 'punished'for not posting on BTS,really I don't like it that much,thats why I have all my points here on ATS.I just yesterday started a thread on BTS and replied to some in an effort to get my points back,but I'm so ar behind I don't know if I'll ever post enough or would want to post that much on BTS to get back to positive.

IMO I think they should 'redo'the point system so this doesn't happen by simply not posting in BTS or making a mistake at the store.As BTS and ATS are totally different and some people are attracted to one,but not the other.

Well... I don't need to say too much because you guys know what's going on lol.

It's the store

I've balanced those of you with negative BTS points back to zero.

We believe in a balanced budget and all that... vote for me in '08! Oh wait wrong speech.

WOW,thanks a BUNCH..............your my favorite mod,lol.I'll vote for you in 08',lol.

Seriously though,thanks


One more thing,should I start using my ATS points only in the store?

EDIT to add:Awesome avatar!!!

Does having negative points affect your ability to use the boards, or in any way at al? I was wondering why all the concern. I don't seem to have encountered any problems.

Many thanks.

No,it just affects your standing,(as far as the color bar on your mini profile and overall ATS 'respect'so to say)and can hurt you in the ATS store.


I'm still curious if I should use only my ATS points in the store from now on,I think I will.

THANKS!!!

I have too many negative balances in my check book as it is... I don't need any here.

Favor please.

It doesn't have any negative impact on your account. No worries.

As for the store, you should use whichever points you have lol.

If you have more ATS points and no BTS points, when you make a purchase in the store, use ATS points and NOT combined! Combined will divvy up the deduction between the two.

That's where the negatives are coming from.

Thanks again!!

You got my vote!

LOL

EDIT to add:I've added you to my friends list!

My friend JKrog08 directed me here just now. Would it be possible for me to get out of the negative as well?

It's not a major issue, but I think some posters might think I've got that problem because of some punishment I've gotten for being a bad poster.

*wonders how to come across as not begging in the thread*

Um, er ...

*Gives up*

Please?

Im in negative by accident. Doesnt Bother me at all, but the points system should be changed. Should be set to stop taking points from BTS once u hit 0 or vice versa depending where u post more.

The only problem i can see with this is that you could get more things from the store without actually having the points earned.

For example, Say you have 5000ATS, u can buy the RATS area for 5000 and have it set to use combined points, and u would still be left with 2500 ATS and -2500BTS
