So, what are those points for?

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Yes yes yes... well this is all very fine and dandy... but what I really want to know is can we trade in our points for cookies?

There should be a full-out candy store where you can trade in your points!

I'm currently sitting at 5,313 points, or just above my post count. I'm gonna guess one post = one point, with some forums likely giving more. CJ's in the City Journals section, as well as blogs probably giving you points, and the STEX (I wonder if STEX comments give points?).quote>

They probably do, along with rates your uploads get because I only have 1400+ forum posts and over 3500 points.

[MTA3479 0]

Well, I have 68 points.........figures

[JakeMD 107]

4,863 points. Cool!

[Jazzmaster 716]

1, 378 points *dances in chair* (not really)

[sithlrd98 66]

There doesn't seem to be any use to them except to show how much you've contributed to the site, at least so far. I'm curious to see if there will be a list for the users with the highest amount of points.

[WillR116 60]

agreed, its not on post count only I have 21 non post points because i'm at 408. I recomend that anyone who has anything in a non forum section such as the STEX comment or such and see. maybe deleted posts are part of it? IDK but I doubt thats all because theres no way you can delete so many posts that you have 5x more points than posts.

Post size may have something to do with it, I just got 5 points on this post. interesting, now at 412

[LE0 5]

256 points.

and what exaclty are these points for

Deleted posts wouldn't show up anymore.. Likely, it's a combination of your CJ score, STEX score, forum post count and blog activity.. with a few other factors thrown in.

[your_adress_here 11]

After having tried it, deleted posts don't remove any points.

Edit: Posting in here gives me 1 point.

I'm also curious to see if the smiley has anything to do it. Since the points came online, my smiley went from the very happy one we saw before to one with a smaller smile. (Actually, I'll take a picture)

Anyone else get this? I noticed fukuda did. Anyone still have the sheepish grin?

[crazychickensc12 84]

2,503 Points slightly more then my post count hehe. I think I have like 1-2 STEX uploads and a couple decent length CJ's also but they are super old so I don't know if they even count ha!

[_marsh_ 1,118]

170 for me

btw, if you hover the courser over the smiley it says something.

mine says "member in good standing"

I think this one is the same "rank" as the other one... I've got the same little guy.

Actually, I was going to auction off some of my points on eBay. I hope your PayPal account is in good standing.

[JakeMD 107]

I got the grin as well.

[Jasoncw 11,949]

The smile changed, but if you hover your mouse over it, you'll find what standing you're in. That's supposed to be a smiley face, which means you're in good standing. I don't know if anyone actually has anything other than that.

Next to that, moderators have little icons indicating so. I'm guessing there are other icons too.

I'd be interested to learn how the points are calculated.

[WillR116 60]

mine too, That may be beebs, I have the SCFA blog (maybe 5 things there), 2 STEX uploads (same thing just fixed) and would leagues count? cuz I have 3.

Yeah, it seems like most people have.

 I liked the other guy better, he was happier.

Oop.. now I have a really eager fellow up there.

simsamerica- No, I don't think leagues would count. If it's anything like the old Sporeum evo system, it takes a bunch of factors into one big calculation that spits out a final number.. it'd be too difficult to keep track of all the leagues that are out there and input them manually.

[your_adress_here 11]

My guy has changed as well! Somebody is up to something.

Especially considering dirk and a couple other admins are online...

[Streetwise 3]

I have 360 361 points as of now, and edits don't add points.

[Legosim 14]

 110 points i though i would have like 20

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Hmm...  I've got the cheesey smiley guy... too...

[your_adress_here 11]

Is that your flame shield beside it?

Oh that has been there for ages...  apparently us moderators need 'protection'.

[Chptrk 86]

So the points are the totally number of posts you've made, both on the Stex and the forums, right? And how come you (abcvs) has a bigger smilely then the rest of us? 321 here for those that care!
