Hey, I have a question. I'm not sure if this is where it belongs or not, so if it's wrong, mods have every right to move it.

Why did I lose 199 exp points when I posted in a thread to help someone? It was an older thread, but he bumped it with his own question, so I posted in it to try and help, and I lost a lot of exp points because of it? It just doesn't sound right to me. Could someone please help me understand?

Thanks.

this is how they are calculated. if you ended a thread you get X points. if someone else posts after your last post then you lose those points.

 

Thanks, but I'm still not sure why I lost points for trying to help someone. Is it because it was an older thread?

were you the one who had the last post, way back when? If YES, then you had points because you were the last. When someone else chimed in and bumped, then you no longer had the last post...which means you no longer had the points for the last post.


edit - experience points don't do anyone a bit of good here...they don't mean anything...why are you tracking them so closely?

 

I just noticed it took a big dive, and wasn't sure why. And I had just went through all of what was on my profile out of boredom and noticed I had lost a large amout of points, and it didn't make sence to me.

And that's good that they don't. I just thought that people would be more susceptible to what you're saying the higher your exp points were.

no, people listen to you if you know wtf you are talking about... not how high some number is.


the only number that may factor in here is your itrader feedback score, if you gonna be buying and selling on here, check that ish.

 

So if I'm the last person to comment, I get lots of points?
