Hi. Sorry about that. I am looking into what happened.
This has not happened before so trying to ask what could have caused it.

Hi! I had a doubt regarding the point system. I was at 980 points until yesterday after getting 4 kudos from Moderators. However, this morning when I checked my score I realized it had dropped to some 600 points with only 1 kudos reflecting from the moderator. Also, according to the table I have posted only 1 explanation, while in reality I had posted explanations to 6 questions. Hoping I can get some clarification behind this, since the drop in my rank has really demotivated me :?

Hi bb

Bonus for 30 Timers (for Jul 21) has not been added into the score.

Request if the Timers could be checked, and the points credited.

Thanks


Hi. Sorry about the 21st.
I have looked into your error log. Most of the questions you took on the 21st were Reading Comprehension timers.
Unfortunately RC does not count :|
Let me know if I missed anything for the 21st.

My guess is you miscounted the timers. Does 8 really look like a 30?
I see you got bonus 18, 19, and 20th.

But 21st you don't have enough. Did you not count them?

Can we use Forum Quiz for Taking 30 timers in one day or we have to use individual question timers ??

Hi bb

Such a restriction regarding RC timers have not been specified as part of the main listing for the competition; it doesn't even form a part of the 'Competition Rules and Fine Print'.

Request if the Bonus timer pts for 21 Jul could be credited.

Thanks

Hi Thank you for the links. It is very mysterious. For some unknown and not very traceable reason, the posts you have made and got kudos for got deleted. It is a strange instance as I can't easily locate the posts that were deleted due to system limitations and to find them we would have to involve our tech team to go through logs, which will have to be done in a few days (I want to know what happened) but meanwhile, we will have to restore your points in a another way - we will give you 3 kudos for 3 other posts that were incorrect and otherwise not deserving a kudos. I checked and you only have 1 other explanation. So the best suggestion I have is for you to participate in the competition and we will catch you up with 3 kudos for incorrect explanations. That's the best fast solution I came up with. Keep participating! :cool:

Thank you,
BB

We figured it out. Your posts were deleted due to not meeting the minimum post length requirement (there is a warning message that shows up that says your post will be deleted in 24 hrs) and that’s exactly what happened.

So… happy to help get the points back but highly recommend following the instructions and posting at least the min number of characters. (20-25 chars)

So far we are yet to find an issue with the system.
Usually this is because people take the timers spread across multiple days or use RC. Which one of these is you? :lol:

Ah alright got it! I think the reason the explanations didn't meet the minimum character requirement is because I erroneously posted them within the question quotes. I shall definitely be more mindful going forward. Thanks for the alternate solution though! I really appreciate it :)

I still haven't received points for "30 times in a day" I attempted on 24th July (none were RC questions).
Could you please look into it?
