Removed or merged eggs give their points back. Gut a finished write-up and its +10 goes back too (restore it and the +10 comes back, once). Every point is logged as it happens. Your profile shows the total and a month-by-month chart, and Download my data lists every one.
Fastest way up the board: Quick post the moment you find something, then come back and finish the write-up. Featured picks go to write-ups that make the next hunter's life easy, with clear steps, good evidence and the right connections.
There's a leaderboard for every basket and one for the whole site, all-time and last 30 days. Ties break on verified discoveries. Some hunts have prizes; each hunt's page lists them.
