Alternative Camille Points Strategies

[mergesort]

Camille stores all points that have been earned through the entire history of the Slack. This is nice for people with a lot of points (myself included), but it can feel a bit unfair to people who are helpful but isn't particularly helpful for people who haven't been around the Slack for that long.

I'd like to throw out some ideas that could be used to create a more novel and fun points experience, and also solicit ideas from other people in the community.

1. Remove points and add fun images instead.
2. Keep historic points but reset the current points yearly (or reset after WWDC instead of calendar year)
3. Channel-specific points
4. Remove points and shift to badges
5. Channel-specific badges

Please leave your thoughts and submit your own ideas!

No reason it can't be all of the above at once :) data's cheap

But also I've been wanting to track the # and type of reactions you get on your messages.

The reaction tracker is a bit off-topic but I'm not opposed to storing them all, more so soliciting ideas and would then have to figure out how to display that in a reasonable manner for the context(s).

if we go forward with annual resetting with no rollover (Camille points are now vacation days lol) then resetting at WWDC is a great idea!

+1 to resetting at WWDC. Also channel-specific points sounds fun.
What would badges look like?

In getting more specific about the why I said all of the above, you can easily track the values for all-time, annual, and channel all at the same time. Could even report back all 3 values at each increment.
