Who moderates this community?
The short answer is: you. This website is moderated by the users. Points system allows users to earn rights to perform a variety of moderation tasks.
How does the point system work?
When a question or answer is voted up, the user who posted it will gain points. These points serve as a rough measure of the community trust in that person. Various moderation tasks are gradually assigned to the users based on those points.
For example, if you ask an interesting question or useful answer, it will likely be voted up. On the other hand, if the question is poorly worded or the answer is misleading - it will likely be voted down. Each up-vote on a question will generate 6 points, whereas each vote against will subtract 6 points.
The following table lists points gained per activity:
| Posting a question: | 10 points |
