Even I too struggled every week to accumulate 500 points and I see people who make 3000 points/week. Yes they are doing it through submitting quotes. They just copy/paste quotes from net itself. I think there must be someone who check them. Even commenting on quotes give points I have been doing it when I don't find threads to respond. :)


But copy paste of quotes from the net is allowed, an easier option is to click an article and there are ever so many and each time you get a point...


Yes clicking articles just to get points is spamming. :blink:

But there should be someone on quote section too who could check if the person is not pasting the same quote which already has been submitted by someone else before. :blink:


This game is on ever since this site was born and it has proved to be a near impossible task to stem it!!

Yes thats highly essential. A moderator is essential After posting so many quotes any body will lose the count and track. The user unknowingly will spam. Administrator has to give a serious thought about it
Usha, this always has been a problem here and for some time, it was not happening much. But I see that it has started again. It definitely might be via clicking articles and now by submitting quotes! :blink:


I guess quotes and articles together might be the reason....As long as it is done the proper way no worries otherwise it may not be very healthy for the site...


It never is healthy for any site, but stemming this kind of activity has proved to be a next-to-impossible task here!! The problem is we cannot actually prove any kind of wrong doing! :blink:

Clicking article links will not do any good now. There needs at least one minute gap between each click to get points.

I think that is a good idea, at least to some extent it will discourage members from clicking without having any intention of reading an article...

Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!

And to stop spamming, there is no other option but reduce points for quotes. Its not 1 for new quote.

The points are on different activities. Additional points are given on reaching certain stages in forum like 5000 posts, 10,000 posts. In such events there is sudden jump.


I agree with you. This is can be the only reason behind a good score. Presently the site has changed the points system and many errors have been rectified. Hence chances of scoring points unlawfully is less.

We can earn points faster by submitting articles, forums discussion, quotes, crossword, quiz and question answer categories. The other way is the one mentioned above.

Yes, 'Reduce points' for Quotes. Quotes has become an easy way to get points without effort and creativity. Let 'Creativity' be given highest priority in all the activities of 'Boddunan'.
Too many shares for doing nothing but pasting quotes is too much, there should be a limit for every thing. There are many other features which need to be looked upon. I can see them being misused.
