I know this question has probably been asked before, but I can't seem to find it. I guess you earn points from editing pages....but if you don't want to edit pages....is there another way? Wrote a blog...no points. Wrote a couple of reviews...no points. I'm confused.

I did write an FAQ where I attempted to briefly answer this question which can be found here.
Unfortunately it hasn't really taken off so it's no surprise you can't find it!

You sit around and look snazzy. Karma points, baby!

I think it's all what TheBeast says. The purpose of points though? To look snazzy!

You earn points by editing pages like you do your profile....after 1000 points you should be able to get them instantly :D

Just dont add any bs though....

Man, I've been editing the shit out of some HALO pages. I already got 33 points :D And the two full articles I wrote haven't even been accepted yet, which should give me a nice amount of points methinks.


Only problem is it's gonna take FOREVER to get to 1,000 points, and I don't like having to go through moderation :(

Well, it's either that or having the pages vandalised.

So it seems that the best way to earn points is by writing info in articles for games, characters etc and adding images right? But how come we can't get them for reviews, because that's what I'm planning to do most.. Or should i just put my reviews for games in the article, cuz that way i will get points, or will it just get rejected?

POINTS!!!
POINTS!!!

If there was no page moderation, imagine the horrible things that would happen to the wiki pages

What do you mean Blackwater? I was just asking whether i could do that, because if not it's unlikely i'm gunna be able to get to 1000 points by updating game info only. And I'm very impatient and don't want to wait 24 hours to update sumthin :)

Writing a shitty blog shouldn't get you points. Reviews? MAYBE later down the line, but thats just too much approving to be done. Just add photos and articles to games to get points, dont be lazy, CONTRIBUTE.
