This morning while looking at the market, I suddenly thought of an idea.
What if we create an app called "Worker's Club"? The model is as follows: users earn points through virtual check-ins. Registering with an email gives you 100 points instantly, and you earn 1 point for daily check-ins. On public holidays, no check-in is required, and users are rewarded with 3 points instead.
There is also a negative incentive design—if users don't check in, the system sends an email reminder every 15 minutes, up to 4 times a day, with each reminder deducting 1 point. This approach can re-engage lost users and increase user activity through a point deduction mechanism.
The overall logic is essentially: using a points system to influence users' check-in habits, combining positive incentives (earning points for check-ins) and negative incentives (deducting points for missed check-ins and email reminders) to form a self-consistent retention loop. It's a good idea, but whether it can truly retain users depends on how the community atmosphere is built.

Email bombing and deduction points—this move is ruthless, but it seems easy to anger people.

Email bombing is a great move, but honestly, it still depends on what you can exchange points for. If you can't get anything tangible, it's all just empty talk.

Email bombarding negative incentives... Isn't this just a rebranded way of exploiting users? They'll get annoyed and leave sooner or later.

Email bombing is indeed ruthless. But does it score more points for deducting than for awarding?

Hmm, this is a typical combination of loss aversion from behavioral economics and email bombardment. The short-term retention data looks good, but once users discover the deduction logic, they will become resentful. I bet 5 bucks that community operations will face massive churn by the third month.

That email bombarding tactic is indeed ruthless, but can it really retain people? It feels like it would be reported as spam.
