Points & Ranks
You probably noticed the fancy badge on your profile. It's a result of your activities on the Network. Literally everything you do is rewarded with a fixed number of points. We do the math for you and award you with a badge displaying your current rank.
But watch out! Points expire after 12 months. So you'd better keep going...
