How points add up
- 2
points when someone marks your thread or reply Useful, or marks your post Helpful.
- 15
points when the person who asked marks your answer as the one that helped.
- 1
point for any other reaction to your post, and each reaction to your comment or reply.

points when someone finds your review helpful.
- Nothing you do yourself counts, and points can't be bought.
- Each kind of point has a daily limit. One person's votes and reactions can give you at most 6 points a day. An accepted answer has its own daily limit.
- Points come off again if a vote is taken back or a post is hidden for breaking the rules.
What doesn't count
Votes from your own accounts or your household don't count, and nor do votes from accounts in their first day.
