Points and levels

JosiahGately · 05-10-2010, 09:52 AM

Can someone please explain points and levels. What are they and what is the reason for them?

Hello Josiah,

They are something that we are working with and still in development. Our current promotion method for the academy (post count and registration date) are simply not cutting it. We needed something more advanced.

The point system mathematically distributes points for tasks like completing your profile, how often you post, how helpful your posts are, the quality, etc... However we have not been able to get all the bugs worked out. So until we make the official announcement, its just for bragging rights

What is the requirement for academy?

Currently you must be registered for at least one week, and have ten (10)* QUALITY posts before being granted level one access. The whole breakdown of the levels can be found in the Academy Promotions Issues Solved topic. QUALITY is in caps, posts that do not add to the topic (Such as "Cool." or "Thanks" or "Awesome") will be deleted by the staff. This prevents laymen just looking for a quick reveal of an effect to get very far. Posts like yours, that ask questions, provide solutions, or state an opinion with a reason ("This is good because...") are what we at ExoMagic like to see.

*Technically you need 9 or more posts for level one, but ten is such a nice round number.
