Brad 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2005 Hello, I was curious as to how you 'measure' Hosting Credits in terms of posts. Is it by how much words in a post, or how many posts/topics we make? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirfrancisdrake 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2005 I believe these are the three factors in determining the credits you get for a post:1)The length of your post- How many characters2)The organization of your post- How neat and easy to read it is. I think that includes spelling.3)The quality of your post- Not saying the same thing over again, not spaming, only including relavent information.If i'm wrong, sorry. But i think those are the factors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2005 sirfrancisdrake,Thanks for the reply. That sounds logical to me... I'll just try to make long-charactered posts, a lot of topics and stay out of trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Compute 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2005 I don't think it has to do with how easy it is to read your post because I don't see how a computer/program could determin that.I think its simply just how many words in your post.But thats just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted October 16, 2005 I can agree to what Compute is saying.According to OpaQue, the credit determining script is STATE OF THE ART script. All I know is that when you post common internet phrases, such as LOL or OMG, it does not count towards credits earned. When you type slangs it will ignore it out flat. And lastly, misspelled words will be left out from words counted. But I have noticed that a simple paragraph, constructed out of 5-7 sentences, will earn well into 2-5 credits. I'm saying 2-5 credits because when you start out as a member level "newbie" it will help you to gain faster credits. But once you reach certain member level, i.e. Level 2 or higher, the amount of credits earned for the similar length decreases. This is including the factor that once you are well familiarized yourself with our forum it encourages to participate even more. I also noticed that when your credit reaches zero or below, no matter what level you are, it will help you to bring into positive credit number by giving generous credits per post. The exact algorithm is still unknown and probably will stay that way So spelling DOES matter.Grammar matters, too, since if you cannot understand the post because it's missing punctuations or such, moderators will consider that as spam.
