How to earn member points-

I'd also like to know. I have earned over 200 pts and its not all from reviews and logins. I have read the other points posts, but none of them seem to elaborate. It appears you used to get points for posting (then on 30 per day) and for buying items but that doesnt seem true anymore. 

I've also read there was some abuse in the past and a new system may becoming soon; can anyone comment on that?

Is there a way to view all of your points or just the previous 5 ?

Looks like 200 pts gets you a free shirt and 10% off

Click on your name up in the top right which takes you to your profile page. Or click on your name over here on the left of the page and select member profile.

You have 72 points

Maybe this should be stickied? Or just added to an FAQ or something.

Originally posted by supcadence can't even write reviews for half the items since I get errors when trying to submit it. haha

Same here. Tried about 5 times one night for a board I bought... thought, "screw it." Never tried again.

Good to know how the points break down though. Thanks!

Originally posted by kidboarder33 Just add sieraa to your homepage and every day you'll get a point. Or just do like a review a day or something and you'll have points in no time

did you not just read that they want legitimate reviews? i guess you could be some rich dude but i doubt your getting enough gear to write a review each day.

We are talking of getting the points for purchase (1 point for every $10 spent) back, and the programmers will also try to make it retroactive for this span that it hasn't been working.  But, at this point I have no idea when that may happen.

One more time for good measure

lol i over looked

Jenn can I have like 3000 points added please? thanks I appreciate it

Jenn!!! can you please explain the points system to me?  Thanks

"and the programmers will also try to make it retroactive for this span that it hasn't been working"

What time frame will that span back too? Would it be purchases made throughout the entire life of the account or back until just a few weeks ago?

just stayed logged off, youll get more points that way.  its like a bank, your points will gain interest.

i just noticed the member points tab. Looks like the return of the post whore. Also, just realised i have 1 point for forum posts which means they may have already started it.

The member points tab is at the top of the page, just under the main tabs (but I think it only shows when you're in the forums tab)

Originally posted by ippollite so right, lets see, i need 9870 points or thereabouts, and can get a maximum of 15 points a day... so thats... wait, carry the 5, drop the nine, k, and then carry the 7, right so then thats <counts on fingers> only 658 days, 1974 reviews and 3290 posts until i get a free snowboard! Ill get right on that!!!

Was looking at the Member Points page and didn't read there was a cap on points for the day. Is this limit of 15 points a day BS?

haha i just found the members tab. maybe they just put it up there. For those of you that don't know its 1 point/post (max 5 posts/day), 3 point/review (limit 3 reviews/day) and 1 point per log in (1/day)= 15 in one day however most of those 15 point would be from reviews. If you aren't going to demos every other day, you are just making up BS reviews if you can put up 3/day haha.

Although I love watching the reviews and points disappear when they get deleted, fake reviews just waste your time and make you look like a n00b, so don't make fake reviews. By all means, buy lots of stuff to increase your points and go over the cap.

hopefully we end up getting points for purchases :P

apparently so. Looking forward to it granting me a new cute star :)

I thought it was 5 points per review, but my last couple I've only gotten 3 each, and I don't write BS reviews.

at least it's very clear to all of us now.
