Accumulating points here...

Even I too struggled every week to accumulate 500 points and I see people who make 3000 points/week. Yes they are doing it through submitting quotes. They just copy/paste quotes from net itself. I think there must be someone who check them. Even commenting on quotes give points I have been doing it when I don't find threads to respond. :)

But copy paste of quotes from the net is allowed, an easier option is to click an article and there are ever so many and each time you get a point...

Yes clicking articles just to get points is spamming. :blink:

But there should be someone on quote section too who could check if the person is not pasting the same quote which already has been submitted by someone else before. :blink:

This game is on ever since this site was born and it has proved to be a near impossible task to stem it!!

Yes thats highly essential. A moderator is essential After posting so many quotes any body will lose the count and track. The user unknowingly will spam. Administrator has to give a serious thought about it

Usha, this always has been a problem here and for some time, it was not happening much. But I see that it has started again. It definitely might be via clicking articles and now by submitting quotes! :blink:

I guess quotes and articles together might be the reason....As long as it is done the proper way no worries otherwise it may not be very healthy for the site...

It never is healthy for any site, but stemming this kind of activity has proved to be a next-to-impossible task here!! The problem is we cannot actually prove any kind of wrong doing! :blink:

Clicking article links will not do any good now. There needs at least one minute gap between each click to get points.

I think that is a good idea, at least to some extent it will discourage members from clicking without having any intention of reading an article...

And to stop spamming, there is no other option but reduce points for quotes. Its not 1 for new quote.

The points are on different activities. Additional points are given on reaching certain stages in forum like 5000 posts, 10,000 posts. In such events there is sudden jump.

I agree with you. This is can be the only reason behind a good score. Presently the site has changed the points system and many errors have been rectified. Hence chances of scoring points unlawfully is less.

We can earn points faster by submitting articles, forums discussion, quotes, crossword, quiz and question answer categories. The other way is the one mentioned above.

devu, now no points for submitting articles :S :S

Yes, 'Reduce points' for Quotes. Quotes has become an easy way to get points without effort and creativity. Let 'Creativity' be given highest priority in all the activities of 'Boddunan'.

Too many shares for doing nothing but pasting quotes is too much, there should be a limit for every thing. There are many other features which need to be looked upon. I can see them being misused.

I agree, most of us take part in forums and other activities to get points and end up getting at the most 2000+ points a week and just by clicking articles one can gather 4000 plus points and walk away with revenue share as well...we too could have done that , but dint !

I see some members accumulating a few thousand points and reaching the top of leader board on a weekly basis without participating in forums, is it only on the strength of clicking on articles or answering questions ? or is there any other way they could do that ?
Because for me it is a struggle to get even 500 points or more every week, so I wonder if there is anything that I am not aware of...

I was always curious to know how "Vedavyas" - the current topper for the week got so many points. I am stuck to the site with such forum activities and somehow managed to reach only 400 points. I was going to start a discussion about this. But I stumbled upon this one.

That is something I am curious about too, only the admin would be able to find out how this Vedvyas is accumulating so many points in a matter of days!

Let me tell you. There are two parts in "QUOTES".

After pasting the Quote, there is a column, "A brief explanation of the quote". here the toppers of Quotes are simply pasting the author of the quote,This makes them post 60 posts in 60 minutes. Thats why you see 4000 points in a single day
Suppose if the administration insists them to write a brief intro to the quote, see how the points drastically fall down.

So this is being noticed by many members ....But I am amazed how one can even hope to get 4000 odd points in one week? :ohmy:
I mean other than bonus points to me it seems like a herculean task...

3000+ points is possible in one week through active participation in forum....10 hours a day.
But 4000+ is surely a herculean task.

That's too much a work - 10 hours. That will be too exhausting leaving little or no time for other work. I mean it will be very very draining indeed.

I agree with you. Give maximum points where creativity comes in to fore. Member's creativity should be duly rewarded

Request Maverick to check as Fazelath has copied the same quote on Ist and IInd page appearing in quote section at present.

That was happened because of the quotes section but that is not against the site rules so it is not the mistake of a user to blame. Anyway the points are reduced to 1 to get rid of such things happen again.

More than 700? That's indeed a huge number. I think you might seriously be working for 10 hours then. hahahaha :lol: I too am doing the same thing. I have more forum activities than articles.
