Your Points on this Board
1. You get a point for each Submission. It can be an article you write for this site (limit 5000 characters including spaces), without a link. The Submission could be a link to another site without comment. You can link and comment both, also, of course.
2. If you comment on another post, then you get a point for the Comment. Whether your comment is short or long, insightful or whimsical, the tally is still one point.
3. If someone else likes one of your Submissions or Comments and they give you a Thumbs Up, then you gain a point. Thumbs Down is a subtrahend. When people like each other's quips they support each other with Thumbs Up. Thumbs Downs are also freely given on the same basis.
4. If you send a private message to another member, you get a point.
