Can moderators score points in different ways ?

[stuart_campbell]

Hi there

Is it possible for Moderators to score points in different ways from non-moderators ? or can Moderators only score points as follows

Contribution	Points Awarded
Discussion posts	Points assigned by the original poster of the thread, or by a moderator ·         5 points - helpful answer (limit 15 times per thread) ·         10 points  correct answer (once per thread)
Community Topic  Blog / Document	·         10 points ·         Additional feedback points given by the community
Wiki contributions	·         40 points - page publication (limit of 120 points per day) ·         2 points - page edit/update  (limit of 10 points per day)
Taking the annual SCN Survey	·         10 points

Was this ever possible ? - even before the new SCN/JIVE platform ?

Also what constitutes an edit/update in a Wiki ? - can you provide some examples ?

Best wishes

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

  Moderators receive points in the same way as all other SCN users but collecting points shouldn't be a goal for Moderators. Moderators tasks (e.g., handling abuse reports, moving threads etc..) do not generate points.

Any change made to a Wiki page constitutes an edit/update.

Hi Stuart,

There is no difference with respect to earning points in SCN, be it moderator or a normal user. All are treated equally. Please do note that moderators do not have any advantage to earn points. Rather normal users/contributors are at the advantage as moderators can mark their answers helpful/correct in case the author of the thread did not close the thread even after their query is answered/resolved.

And regarding the wiki edit, whenever you edit and save a wiki page, you get 2 points for each. There is no parameter for what you edit and how much. You can take it literally. But edits should be worth enough. One should not do it just to earn points.

Thanks & Best Regards,
Leon
