That's enough. stop spamming this thread with political one liners, this thread is to help new members.

You can attain your 20 posts by replying to any of the threads on ATS.

The Introduction Forum is for introductions… To tell something about you; not to start a thread about a topic. ATS has a twenty post requirement before a new member can start a thread on the myriad of ATS fora… “Intro threads” that are really “topic threads” will be removed.
Mod Note: Please Review, Welcome to ATS, it’s time to introduce yourself

How does the point system and stars work?

Regards
E.T

New guy here. I want to thank everyone that is responsible for the creation of this site. I have been on ATS from time to time but never sign up until now. I think this is the most informative site I have ever been on, and WOW! the topics. Hope that I can help people from time to time like some of the members here have helped me, just by opening my eyes to the current world events on the threads that I have read.

Hey there, Info on points,

Points:
Every member accumulates ATS Points as you post in our forums. The intent of the points system on our forums is to provide a more meaningful measure of your contribution to the community than simple post-count. The simple idea being, that active members who do well to participate in collaborative discussions that contribute to the goals of building our communities, will accumulate impressive point totals.

Points are credited to you in the following ways (from lowest to highest).

Posting: Each time you post in an ATS, BTS, or PTS forum, you gain One Point.

Getting Replies: If you author an active thread, this means you've generally done well to contribute to the community. You earn Two Points for each reply to your thread.

Receiving Applause: Our staff (moderators, council members, and forum subject matter experts) have the ability to applaud posts we feel offer an excellent contribution to the discussion, or our community. You earn 250 points for each applause you receive.

Participating in research, fiction, and debates: These generally earn very high points, as each post in a debate can be worth 250 points, or more if you win your debate

Starring works in a similar way, but instead of threads you can star certain posts that you feel deserve it,

Hey I'm trying to learn more about the technicalities of this site. I tried going to Asala's link for Zedd's Handbook and it didn't work. Anybody want to show me the ropes?
