Basics
J-Coins is one of a few types of currencies found around
Jappleng. You are rewarded currency for being active on any of the
Jappleng services. After collecting enough coins, you can redeem
them for things off of our shop called the Jappleng Market.
Types of things you can unlock with
J-Coins
You can unlock the ability to change your avatar, user alias,
add a forum signature, enable cool features, avatar covers, chat
backgrounds both animated and static types, Emblems to put next to
your name, stickers which also doubles as actions you can use while
posting around the site (even in chat!), donating them to clubs to
help them unlock features / grow, other types of items and
boosters.

of posts are worth more than others. For example, a new thread can
give you 5 coins while a reply may give you 2. Receiving a like on
a post may give you 1 coin and uploading an image may give you 2
coins.

The exact specifics is listed in the game itself.

Gifting J-Coins
You may not gift other people J-Coins.
Buying J-Coins with real
money
Jappleng is a free to use service and does not require a
subscription service. Since Jappleng is a personal, passion project
it may be possible to one day buy J-Coins with real money as a
thank you for supporting the project in some way. Currently, the
hosting fees are minimal (roughly $150/mo.) and because of this, no
payment is required and J-Coins aren't being sold.
Losing J-Coins
It is possible to lose J-coins when your post is deleted by
yourself or a moderator be it a GM or by the club moderators you
posted in. Likewise, anything you post that has likes will be
unliked by people and you will lose J-coins from this as well. This
can technically place you in the negative. Normally this does not
happen but it can if you suddenly decide to spam the site with
content that should be removed or if you decide to delete some of
your old posts.
System Abuse
The purpose of J-coins is to help you better understand the
site, give you motivation to study more and I think it's just
something fun to do. This isn't a real economy and shouldn't be
treated as such. Please do not abuse the system! Our system can
detect unusual behavior and a notification is given to GMs about
people spamming things.
In Jappleng 7.0, a posting timer is introduced to prevent mass
spam behavior. Please do not abuse the system.
