Previously I believed that I was clear as to how these points are metted out. However after perusing a few comments here and there, I now feel somewhat unclear about it. I *was* under the impression that it all had to do with number of posts and to what forums they were posted on.(some forums give you more points than others) I now understand that there might be more to it. I hope someone can offer me a definitive explanation as to how these points are earned-thanks. (If this explanation has been given on another thread, then I've missed it)
There is a list of the trophies you can earn here https://forums.digitalpoint.com/help/trophies and it tells you how you earn them. --- My favorite trophie I earned: Hand of Justice "You were the first to report 100 different items that had action taken."
@indyonline, I knew that there was an award system involved, but I *also* thought it had to do with postcount as well. Guess I was wrong on that.
Ya, if there was trophy or benefit from it people would be posting a bunch crap (more than usual) to run up their post counts.
They don't seem to be given out automatically as I should have received for another "best answer". So what's the timeframe on points? Once a month or something?
I guess there is some for 1st post, 30 post, 100 post, 1000 post and 5000. Guess I was wrong... =/ lol Didn't think there would be but I guess since it don't grant them any extra features there would be no real reason to run 'em up.
Obviously I'm confused.(nothing new here)But...when we started the migration I had 2 "best answers". Then I received a 3rd a week later but no new points........?
Because you already had 2 and should have calculated when he switched over or an hour after your first login or something
If you look here: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/help/trophies It shows the date you were awarded each. If there's something not already awarded that you think should be, let me know and I can take a look. If that were the case, I'd have a lot more points. . And people would be getting points for every post too.
You get trophy points for different things, for example: If you report violators(rule breakers) and were the first to do a set number of times, you would then receive trophy points. If you get a set number of likes or best answers etc., again you would receive trophy points. And there are more other points for different things. Simply go to *Help* and click on "trophy points" and it's all explained there for you.
