I fixed a few bugs in the points system. You can no longer get points for your own questions. And when you publish a new question or quiz, you get 3 points (previously 5), but you get one extra point if the question has feedback, and one more extra point if your question contains more information in the form of links or text. (So that is still 5 in the end.) Here are the new rules:

• Only logged on users can get points, so join for free to keep track of your score!
• You get or loose points when you answer questions.
  • If you answer correctly, you get 1, 2 or 3 points depending on the difficulty of the question. The difficulty of a question is determined by how many people have it right.
  • If you answer wrong the first time, nothing happens because everyone makes mistakes (but smart people only make them once).
  • If you answer wrong on the same question again, you loose 1, 2 or 3 points depending on the difficulty of the question.
  • There is a grace period of 30 days wherein you cannot get scored for the same question again. You can see if you've done a question lately by the green or red squares in the overview tables.
  • You cannot get points for your own questions.
• You get double points when you have 7 or more on a quiz.
  • When you score 7 or more on a 7of9 quiz, the points you scored on that quiz are doubled. You only get the extra points when you have made all 9 questions.
• You get points when you publish a question or quiz.
  • You get 3 points when you publish a new question or a new quiz.
  • You get an extra point if you provide feedback with your question.
  • You get an extra point if you provide more information (either via text or via links) to your question or quiz.
  • You do not get any additional points when you republish a question.
• You can loose all your points when you are violating the code of conduct.
