Points and leaderboards

Points are how the site remembers who did the work.

| You | Points | |---|---| | Document an egg | +20 | | Finish the write-up: a description of 100+ characters, how to find it, a type, evidence | +10 | | A moderator verifies your egg | +10 | | A moderator features your write-up | +25 | | Your discovery credit is verified | +100 | | Someone upvotes your egg | +1 each, up to 50 per egg | | Your report is accepted | +3 | | Your report is rejected | −1 |

Removed or merged eggs give their points back. Gut a finished write-up and its +10 goes back too (it returns when you restore it, but never pays twice at once). Every point is a logged event you can see on your profile.

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: clear steps, good evidence, 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. Prizes? Maybe. We'll see.
