Points what's that all about ?

Post by Bruv »

To be honest I don't take a lot of notice of what is beside each posters name.

Lately I have noticed there is total Posts and a Points figure.

The Points figure doesn't seem to have any relevance to the total posts.......so what is it based on......and why ?

They're a gaming module that was tried out last year, I've not turned it off because it might end up amusing members. Quite how I've no idea.

A gaming module ?

I have never been anywhere near any games, wouldn't know where to find them, are you sure ?

After saying that, I might have popped in once, not more than once, and sure enough didn't play anything more than a few moments, and definitely not long enough to accrue the points shown against my name.......because I am not really into games.

It was applied promiscuously across all members regardless of their dispositions.

But if it is as you say for A Gaming module, how are the points scored, if someone doesn't play the games ?

Could in not be something to do with the ratio of replies against threads started ?

My Points score seems disproportionate to the posts I have made or the games I have played.

I've wondered about the points too but I was too lazy to ask about it.
