Would this help people out?

I've been thinking, and well, a lot of people don't understand the vBStore or the prices for the things you can't buy, etc, nor do they know what points are and how you can get them or see how many you have to begin with, so with that being said, I was brainstorming last night and maybe if I made a FAQ/Guide to points and the modifications you can purchase with them, it would clear a lot of peoples questions about ''how do i get a custom title'' and ''how much is a name change'', as well as the other questions, like ''why wont glow work for me?'' and ''my bank says i have 100 points but i cant deposit it''.

Just to help people out and point them into the right direction. Taking the info coRtALoS posted in the Portal News about how many points you get for posting here and making a thread there, combined with basic knowledge of how to get a Ct/Username quickly and easily, I think it could help some people. But I want to know what you guys think first.

Thoughts? Comments?

Make sure it is in something like the Introductions and Forums Support or something.

It can't hurt. Its your idea- make what you want of it.

I just want some feedback, positive or negative in an intelligent way. ^^;

i was planning it on either being stickied/closed here, or stickied/closed in Introductions & Forum Support. Not sure yet, I'd need to ask Galatia.

The vB Store is the worst thing that ever happened to BattleForums. Exceptions include Darkmatter.

Yeah, you don't really use them, do you?

People who aren't rich tend to use them quite a bit from what I can see.

If you're running a bandwagon, you need z cash to sustain it in whatever ways necessary, right?

I see your point, but theres a lot of people who still have no clue what were talking about.

I think it'll help, at least people won't be retarded and ask stupid questions as much about it anymore. Save us a headache that way.

It would make more sense to put it in "Introductions and Forum Support" rather than Chit-Chat because it would be classified in my mind under 'Forum Support' rather than a "forum [that] is for casual discussion about stuff not related to gaming. Talk about sports, hobbies, music or anything else!"

Anywho, that's just what I think.
