What are points?
Points are intangible rewards for participating in the GameSkinny community. You’ll get them for posting, commenting, sharing, and following people. Their relative value ties closely with the relative value to the rest of the community. Things that take genuine effort (like writing a post worth promoting) earn many more points than simply voting on a poll or commenting.
How do you earn points?
There are many ways to earn points, and we will continue to add more as the site evolves. Here are the basics:
Write a post that gets promoted: 50 points Write a comment on someone else’s post: 5 points Leave editorial feedback on someone’s post: 5 points Follow someone or something: 5 points Share a post you like with others: 5 points Vote on a poll: 1 point
Got ideas for other ways to earn points? Let us know and maybe we’ll give you points for the idea!
What can I do with my points?
We’re working on building the rewards for points now. Our first reward, available with 1000 points, is the ability to upload a custom background for your profile page on GameSkinny. If you have 1,000 points, you can find this option when you edit your profile.
We are looking forward to showing you the rest of our rewards soon!
