Just Curious - Points and Posts

Besides @Paradisefound
How many members "Points" count is greater than their "Posts" count

Catbert

I'd think very few, but @cardinal qualifies.

Wen you collect enough points, print them and take to your nearest PCGS Point Redemption Centre. There, you can exchange them for exciting FREE GIFTS, surprises and other goodies. Before you do this, check your points to see if they are Green Points, Yellow Points, or the tasty Blue Points (captured wild from free-range herds).

PS: I have 6,235 points and am saving them until I have enough for a new combination half-slice muffin toaster and saddle conditioner.

Thank you for thinking of me!

I understand how the count of posts adds up, but I have no idea how the points get calculated! That being said, this is my 1,322 post, and system has me listed as racking up a total of 2,092 points to date.

'Points' is always 1.5824508320726172465960665658094 times 'posts' -- except when it isn't.

As far as I know, points come from getting likes/agrees/LOLs and by earning badges. I am not sure that raw post count in itself increases points.

I have no clue. Must be brownie points you're referring to.

Point count is 25% of my post count.
I don't say much and when I do...nobody cares.

@ricko you’re loaded with points and posts

chesterb

I have 122 points. Obviously more than my post count but I’m also a newer poster.

Akbeez

Never paid any attention to points. Not sure what they mean -- doesn't appear to be #likes, etc added up.

Those who post little but post good things earning likes/agrees/LOL can do this. One thing I tried here when I first joined was to take the number of points and divide that by the number of posts to see who the knowledgeable members might be. While not especially reliable it does give an indication.

Unfortunately, after a few years of posting, most of the great members show a drop in their percentage score.

Fortunately CU is not about numbers.

This point system is fairly new (few years old). A lot of members had high post counts prior to the implementation of the system.

My points 3,628, posts 3024 or 5 now. Is that a good thing?

Rather interesting...this one is now my 1,323 post, but somehow my points have gone up to 2,100. Go figure!!

Catbert

@cardinal - this whole point thing is dumb IMHO, but one accumulates points based upon the number of Likes, Agrees, and LOLs. It is likely that your points are rising lately because of your recent thread of tokens receiving praise from the thread readers.

For the mildly interested, @Proofmorgan fits the OP’s question.
