# Points System

Points System, as the name implies, is a system built around a currency that members accumulate as a reward for their actions on our Discord server, or other activities. Points hold value across the server, as they're spendable on many exclusive rewards.

There are numerous ways to earn Points, and it's not a hard process at all. The system has been designed so that members can earn points alongside their natural activity on Discord, and can earn  more if they "play it right", depending on the quality of their engagement.

Technically, every interaction you do in the server has its own way of rewarding you points. This includes, but is not limited to:

* Chatting with members
* Inviting new members
* Helping and replying to other members
* Creating artwork (daily limit)
* Posting memes (daily limit)
* Participating in events and giveaways
* Winning random airdrops
* Engaging with official announcements and sneak peeks (daily limit)
* Engaging on social media (daily limit)
* Getting & giving reacts
* "MAEC" multipliers

Each criterion mentioned above has its own methodology to determine the output of Points, taking into consideration user activity and quality of engagement. Anti-spam measures and limiters are also put in place.

New criteria are also being developed and will be soon introduced, such as: activity streaks (actively chatting for a set amount of days), "Happy Hours" (double points events/hours), social media integration, and more.

In the close future, upon collection of enough data to be analyzed, a model will be trained to allow the integration of Machine Learning to the bot, meaning that more points will be accredited based on the quality of conversation introduced by the member. This is to assure complete fairness and differentiate them from others.

These implementations allow our members to easily stack up points. Collected data shows that on average, members earn 5,000 Points by naturally engaging for a few hours a day. However, try-hard grinding has proven to grant them up to 10,000 points a day.

All in all, Points are simple yet complex at the same time. To the user, it's meant to be a very simple and natural way to track their progress, as well as to create an economy and value of work/reward.\
On the backend, Points are very complex to account for all user behavior, both good-intended and bad-intended (abusive), and make the whole process natural.

The following sections will cover more details of how Points are used and what is upcoming in the future.
