Wow, so I haven't been on all day and I feel like I've missed so much. Anyway, I've just checked and apparently I only have 35 points How do I get 50 points? Is it just dependent on how many likes you have? I'm so confused

This is highly frustrating where is the moderators post that explains this? yesterday I was fine today when i logged in i was a new member and was restricted I liked and agreed on a few posts and bam back to being a normal member.....great way to treat people pfft
Just follow the steps on the front page and it's be back to normal in no time
Cool - I just figured out if you leave a thread and come back it will bring you back to where you left off. That is better at least.
I'm finding that really confusing to be honest. My posts aren't appearing in the order they should be until I hit refresh again - wonder if it's related to that.
Yes - the messages that are popping up at the bottom will take some getting used to. That was confusing for me too.
Click on your profile and then scroll down past your badges (left hand side). There will be a grey box with your info in it.
thanks I did and have 236 points so how do you get them and what do the do with them or what are they for?
As far as I know they're not for anything (fun fact:- if you click on activity and look to the left you'll see the top 5 or so posters who have the most points, it's like being back at school and seeing whose the most popular). It really doesn't matter how many points you really have, it isn't important once you get beyond the 50 point buffer IMO.
Shouldn't it just go by how long you've been here and not "points"? -__-
This. I've been here a grand total of 1 and 1/2 days. I've already got 400+ points because I post a lot.
If somebody wanted to troll they could just be a social member of the community for a couple of hours and then start spamming the same rubbish that was happening before.
Edit: Well, I say I've been here for 1 and 1/2 days but it's probably more like just 1/2 since I've had to sleep, go to work and basically didn't spend all day and night here. It'd be reasonable to assume a troll could spend a couple of hours building up enough points to then completely thrash this place.
That's true, but if disagrees and flags really do reduce your score, those trolls can be buried much faster and it gives us some power too
By the way, how much the requirements for posting changed on these forums? before, you needed a TS3 game registered to even post here (That's why I didn't posted until today, I only have TS2, the cas demo, and TS4 preordered on origin). If they eliminated the game requirement, we could see a troll attack soon (lucky for me, I avoided the last one)

Well, at least I'm new and it's two weeks before launch. If I'm not a member yet (doubt it; haven't posted much yet.) I'm sure I'll get there by the time it matters. If this is what needs to be done to make the forums safe, so be it.

My guess is that they'll require having Sims 4 or one of its expansion/stuff packs registered in order to create a new forum account. But since they haven't been released as of yet, it's currently wide open to anyone. But this is only a guess.

Maybe, but they might just go by your Origin account too, since it's now required.
Maybe that means if you act like a big enough tit your Origin account will get banned so you'll have to re-buy your whole library again.

They should do it like that when the game launches, so in the next 15 days we can say that registration and posting is free for all. That is a dangerous path, let's hope that the new member restrictions works.

Huh, that'd be a pretty good deterrent actually.
I didn't considered that, in fact, my name is actually my Origin ID (I have some TS4 CAS simmies shared, in case someone wants to get a look lol), now we should be careful with that.

There should be something in place where not only you must have "points" but also must have a registered Sims game in order to earn those points. I really don't want to see retina melting photos popping up on these forums all the time.

Sounds as though they are tied to the amount of likes and agrees you receive.
