I'll just assume that the answer to the question is expressed in points it earned.

I'm not sure how that applies to my points?

I assume points being transferred would cover the post ranking.

Points.

OT: How does the point system work? I don't seem to understand.... I have a -1 on a post :-D

It goes by points, not comments.

Yes, but how do you gain points?

I'm not wanting to take any points away, I was just curious how the system worked. I don't like to downmod.

Only the points the post gets matters.

39 points within an hour or so. I'm not really sure what to take from this tbh.

I'd guess career-progression points, or even keep-getting-a-paycheck points at worst.

It is, or was, 500 points.

One would like to think that it would get more points than that :-)

How do you know that he got 8 points?

It’s just internet points

You can see the person's total points

I would downvote this if I could. I have no idea what your reference to 44 points means. Is that good? Is that bad? Why do I need to know?

7 points 18 minutes later. People really want to know! I imagine it will stop when/if it is answered.

I once asked the people behind this effort and my understanding is that they don’t really know either.

It’s just internet points I guess, except not with points and not on the internet.


What kind of question is that? The submission's points are awarded by the users who find the content interesting.
