Do we still get points for every download of our uploaded content?
Yes - 5 points per download.
What is the purpose of the point system and levels?
Mike,
Points help you see your engagement in comparison with other community members. We are also exploring ideas around creating a store in which you could redeem your points. But, right now, points are an engagement and participation meter.
Thanks,
Michael
When are Thwack points awarded? I did the census a couple of weeks ago and still have not been awarded anything.
I don't think THWACK points are working properly. I do a lot of the things in the point list above and I haven't seen my THWACK points move ever since we went to the new THWACK platform was upgraded. Is there somewhere I can see my THWACK point activity to confirm what I suspect?
