    How do I get activity points?

    I have just installed WOT and registered.
    Now I want to rate two sites.
    But I have zero Aktivitätspunkte (activity points).

    how do i get activity points

    you get them by visiting sites and rating them peter.when you visit a site you click on the wot circle and a rating card pops down and you rate it on things like is it child friendly.is it free from spyware and other nasties.and how you yourself found the site.trying not to be biased or prejudiced.also by putting posts on the forum as you just have.its obvious you want t participate and am sure you will soon have lots of points.also the points seem to go on your card once a day so you have to give it a bit of time to work through.

    By being active...

    Primarily by rating sites, as cod head mentioned. Or by any other activity, like posting in the forum, commenting the blog, suggesting new ideas to improve WOT, inviting friends to join, etc...

    PS: I think there's an intro video somewhere that demonstrates how to use WOT,
    Mayby Sami can remind us where it's located..?

    Getting activity points

    You an also find an answer to this question in the November Inside MyWOT newsletter. Plus an explanation of the confidence value, which can be a little confusing. See page 5, Ask WOT.

          Anyway, yes platinum is the best rank. :)

    How do I get activity points?

    Post...!

    Rating is of course the primary activity, but you can also post:
    In WOTs forum and blog, your own and other peoples profile board,
    and finally WOTs Google Group. Plus you can invite others to join...

    Several ways

    As others have said, the primary way is by rating websites. Commenting on websites, making forum posts, and inviting a friend to WOT, are all other ways to increase it as well

    WOT ROCKS!

          Just click the "I agree" button on the scorecard comment.

        Why not..?

        Sami: "No, agreeing to comments doesn't affect your activity score."

        Why not? I've always thought that comments happen in two ways:

        1. Write a comment, if nothings been said yet
        or write a comment to add an important aspect.

        2. Click "I agree", if someone else already worte my opinion.
        Why clutter comments with lots of duplicate entries...?

        PS: Maybe "I agree" is a simpler activity then writing comments,
        and therefore adds fewer points, But still deserves more than zero...

          agreeing

          but agreeing does make their comment have more weight on the little bars.

    What is United Universe, and what does it have to do with this thread?

    Do you really think it's a good idea to spam the WOT forum?!

    united universe

    I believe the reference to United Universe forums and the URL are JirachiFan's Signature.

    Note to staff:
    Idea.
    place Signatures in a CSS container with a lightly shaded background.
    this would visually separate the SIG from the message of the post.

    just a though...

      Good idea

      That's a very good idea. Maybe it could also be in a lighter font color such as gray-128.

        gray, blue, yellow, red

        If the ability were offered, it would be easy to select from a "color list" via user profile.
        A "box" color with a separate border color...
        My personal preference would be a light gray box with a blue border :-)
        Custom Signatures are "a personal touch" and so should the color choice be.
        Naturally the shades of color would be very light pastels so as not to contrast the Site's layout.
        A good example of Yellow (box and border) would be the color used for a post preview container. Notice the border is slightly "stronger" than the text area.

      Signature

      When you add a forum/blog comment, your signature is already a part of the comment form. This way you can remove your signature from the comment if you want. The downside of this is that we can't change the signature's color/font or anything as it is just text in the comment. Sorry about this, but there's nothing we can do.

        template edit

        you can not edit the template (Drupal - right?) to place the signature into a DIV with a simple background-color: #F0FFFF ? Then if no text is entered it is simply an empty DIV and no background color is displayed (changed).

          Re: template edit

          The method does not work. We could trivially add or tags around the signature, but since most html tags are filtered out form comment it wouldn't work.

          It is possible to separate signature from the comment and then style it differently. If we do this then old comments would have two signatures and I think it's not so nice. I can't promise that we make the change but I will investigate how it could be done.

        Redesign?

        Does that mean you cannot change your signature for current posts?

        Maybe some minor code changes could help here...

          Re: Redesign

          Yes, you are right. If you change your signature it does not change old forum/blog posts signature. We might change this behavior in future.

          In the scorecard comments the signature does change when changed in profile page.

    points

    By commenting and inviting friends, how many points do we get?

    • User picture

      Depends...

      It depends on your rank. For example, if you are a bronze level member and you comment on a site, you get x points. But if you are a platinum level member, you get x-y points, as the system is logarithmic.
      The higher you get, the more difficult it will be to increase it.
      As for inviting friends...I'm not so sure about whether it increases your activity points. Someone help?
