For about a week now, we’ve been using a different system to track EXP points. I don’t know when exactly we’ll be switching to the new system entirely. It could be this Sunday or next Sunday. In the mean time there’s a few things you guys should know.

1. You get more points commenting in a blog posts than a Newsstream story which will give you more than a forum topic. This means, you’ll get very little for playing forum games relative to other areas of the site.

2. Free points everyday! Each day that you log in, you get some points. Each day you have an avatar, you get some points. Each day you hold a record in a game you get points (lots actually). If you hold more than one game, the effects are even greater.

3. Everything gets you points. As mentioned earlier, commenting gets you points. Playing games gets you points. Playing in MLG matches gets you lots of points. Promoting Newsstream stories gets you points. Even clicking on Newsstream stories to visit other sites gets you points. We’re currently tracking 70+ things an adding new ones in the coming weeks.

4. You can get multiple points for doing one thing. For example, giving a quality comment is worth extra than just a one line comment. Being the first to comment gives you extra. So giving a quality first comment is big points!

5. EXP points will decay (or decrease) each day. This only effects users greater than level 10. This is to prevent EXP inflation and discourage inactivity. The amount will be small, but enough to make a difference over time.

6. Bloggers will be counted separately from now on. They kinda had an unfair advantage over other users.

Other new features include fan points, charts/graphs, and hourly EXP updates (instead of daily updates). We’ll get into more details on those when all these changes are finished and tested.

Is double posting really an issue? I don’t see it much and deleting one or two comment a week isn’t a dramatic loss in points.

The negative points is to control spamming. So we would have to spam delete for it to make a difference in score outcome.

OK. Thanks.


I can’t wait to see the results come into effect.


^ ah thanks for clearing that up, it doesnt happen too often, but i do see that it somehow posts the exact same thing twice every once in a while

Forgot a couple of things. You lose points, a lot of them, when we have to delete something. And pins are going to have values soon to show rarity. Wonder who has the most valuable pin collection?

So what if someone accidentally double posts and then deletes on of them? They lose lots of points?


It’s working now. Thank you very much Hoc.


^ ok try again. The system favors a small number of promotions a day rather than a mass promotion for points. You could do the latter, but stuff won’t always appear on the popular page right away until others promote it too.

For you level, I think you get 10 promotions a day.

I’m having a problem with promoting something on Newsstream. I click on the medal and it says I’ve promoted it. Although, it’s not showing up when I do that. Maybe I’m just having that problem, but yeah.

Also, the EXP changes sound like nice upgrades to the site. Also, Hoc when you said about deleting something, well what do you mean by that?

The way stuff gets promoted in Newsstream is, it takes multiple votes from different people. However, high level users, such as yourself, can automatically promote stories. But you can only do this a certain number of times a day so as to not rack up too many points.

Deleting comments cost a lot of points. Deleting newsstream stories that don’t fit Ningin or is inappropriate is also costly in terms of EXP points.

The ability to promote anything is unavailable to me. When it was brought up on the first day, it was working just fine. Now it never goes anywhere for me, while someone can promote the exact same thing, that I had already tried promoting. I unfortunately don’t know why it’s not working.

i also forgot to ask, does the other websites, like ziggytek and stuff count for this?? like the commenting?

Comments on all sites give you points. Comments on newer sites are worth extra too.

ohh coolyo! thanks for info~

This sounds like really advanced upgrade! ;D
Could someone explain to me how to promote Newsstream stories, please? I don’t really understand it, haha. xD

Click Newsstream > Click ‘Latest’ next to Pending (link directly underneath Newsstream tab) > You’ll see a feed of all the latest Asian news. Instead of going to individual sites, you can just view them all through Newsstream.

If you like a blog article, then you click on the medal to the left of the link. If enough people also like it, that blog article will get promoted to the front page.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the explanation, Jinra! It helps a bunch! ^_^

I always wondered whether pins contributed to experience points, haha.

I like this one the most

4. You can get multiple points for doing one thing. For example, giving a quality comment is worth extra than just a one line comment. Being the first to comment gives you extra. So giving a quality first comment is big points!
:D


Whoa, that’s a lot to keep track of. Keep up the great work! I’m looking forward to the charts and graphs feature.
