Points and posts in FAQ

matdonna · May 17, 2008

"On Absolute Write, if you've made at least 50 points and have a reputation score of 10 or more, you'll become a "Super Member" and be able to have your own custom title and avatar, and you can add events to the calendar."

Am I confused, or should "Points" be "Posts" in this FAQ entry? If not, what points are being referred to here, and how are they different from the 'reputation score'?

Looks like a typo, it should indeed be "50 posts"

...Uh, you're quoting from a casual reply written by an ordinary AW member in a thread that's over 3 years old?!

Thanks...I've been signed up here since last year but really didn't notice the stuff about rep points till now and have been trying to figure out how they work!

Hey, do I get rep points for finding typos?

No.

Of course, if folks would click on the FAQ link to the right of User CP above and read all the items listed in there, we'd see a helluva lot fewer "How do I...?" threads in FAQ forum.

That so doesn't sound like us, though, does it?

Maryn, realistic

I absolutely loved finding out how to use my astrolabe.....

good grief-- I just now noticed I'm now rated a 'board fanatic'. Thank you to everyone who added to my rep point, I think!

Now that I'm getting the hang of it, I look forward to opportunities to return the compliment...
