Just to build on this:
This of course also means that if we see spam attempts and low effort comments such as "good post" or "keep going", etc, they won't be counted towards any points and may even get you minus points if overdone.
The moderation team has recently noticed several instances of unacceptable behavior in the community that has put us on high alert. I, personally will be paying much closer attention than usual, so do try to behave.
That said, it also means that those fostering postive engagement in the community will be more noticed and thus more rewarded with upvotes if their comments appear to be genuine. View this less as a warning and more as encouragement to be active and social, as we'll be out there lookin' for ya! :D
Remind me this blog that you may want to have a look.
