Use forum points to view forum post

Hi! I'm looking for a PHP forum script that has a forum points feature. What I mean is, users get points when they post or reply, and they can use these points to view posts that require a certain number of points to view. Does that make any sense? People can make posts and require others to "pay" in order to view the hidden part of the post, and any credits used to view it are paid to the post author.

For example, in order to view anything within the tags [sell=10] and [/sell], a user would have to "pay" 10 credits (number of credits required can be set by the poster, of course), and then the poster receives the 10 credits that the user pays. Moderators should not be required to pay credits in order to view posts, can edit the number of credits any user has, and set limitations on how many credits can be required to view a post, etc. Also, users should receive a set amount of credits after registering with the forum.

This is a feature that some Chinese forum scripts have, but I don't know Chinese and haven't found any scripts in English that have this, except for the English language version of Discuz!. The problem is that the English translation is quite bad and it would take forever to fix everything, not to mention some settings are difficult to set because it's hard to understand what they do.

Does anyone know of any script like this in (decent) English? Or would anyone be interested in creating a mod with this feature? Thanks.
