How to earn points on the community boards?

[BillyTran]

Hello,

I see that there is an option to earn points on the community boards and that one of the redeemable prizes is a $15 credit on your bill for 15 points. If you can earn 20 points on the community like advertised, I can reduce my bill payment each month. Just wondering how the community points are earned. 

Thanks so much,

Billy T.

Giving bravos doesn't earn points.

no, one solution only. Choose the best or choose the first correct one

Why did you change your solution? That's not wise 😔. You will have plenty of opportunities in the future. Please change it back. 

We are all here helping each other and no hard feelings.  It's the poster's choice.

I see. Thank you so much!!

@BillyTran solutions should not be based on first come first serve but rather which response was the best, which could mean most accurate, most detailed but it's up to the person who created the post. In the event of a tie, meaning all responses were equally great then going for the earliest reply probably makes sense

[Sansan]

It's only one. Multiple people will always respond,  so it's up to you to wait and see. So choose wisely 😁

@BillyTran I believe only oracle's get the top amount of 20 points so that's pretty much off the books for us mortals as it will take a very long time, probably years of being consistantly in the top 1% to be considered for this level and even then it's PM that will approach you if you are worthy. Next best would be to be in the top 1% to get 15 points, top 5% to get 10 points, top 10% to get 5 points, top 25% to get 2 points and I think top 50% for 1 point

Are you able to mark multiple replies as solutions on 1 post?

Technically the maximum you can earn is 15 points.  The 20 points are for Oracles. 

Getting 1 point per 30 day is feasible Maybe 2 points.  Off course you can go to 15.

But it's A LOT OF work. Kinda not worth it, but every point adds up.

Just posts legit questions. Bravo answrs you like. Answer questions to the best of your ability and watch them add up. 

Points will be posted  to your Account about one day after your renewal under the Give Back tab.

These points are then kept running cycle after cycle. When you have 15 points you can redeem towards your next bill. Or redeem add one starting at 5 points.

👍🏻

How many points/replies and answers did it take before you became an Oracle??

[BillyTran]

It would be nice if they could go into detail about how things get tallied and tracked on the boards. 😕
