The Points Charter
rev.iew.me runs on a points system.
Why the points system?
The biggest flaw with most community sites like rev.iew.me, is the lack of a "you pat my back, I'll pat yours" ethic. People pop in, get what they can, and disappear again. By working out a points system we can enforce users to give back to the community thus increasing the likelihood that it will be of use to the users.
So how do I earn points?
Earning points is not hard. You get 1 point just for signing up.
To earn 1 point
- Post a review of between 100 and 299 words
To earn 3 points
- Refer a friend to rev.iew.me
- Post a review of between 300 and 999 words
To earn 5 points
- Post a review of 1000+ words
The first review of a site that currently has 0 reviews earns double points.
How do I spend points?
Spending points is the easiest part!
- It costs 3 points to plug your site on the rev.iew.me plugboard
- It costs 5 points to add a site to rev.iew.me (8 points for commercial sites)
- It costs 5 points to push your site to the front page spotlight
