Question: ### How are points awarded at rating levels? Consider an answer receives 1,000,000 likes. That's a great mark as that answer must have been well reasoned out and educational for the community. In such a case the answering monkey would get at most 8 points. That does not seem very fair to the monkey with brains ;) Also what happens if we dislike some answer or question?

How are points awarded at rating levels?

Consider an answer receives 1,000,000 likes. That's a great mark as that answer must have been well reasoned out and educational for the community. In such a case the answering monkey would get at most 8 points. That does not seem very fair to the monkey with brains ;)

Also what happens if we dislike some answer or question?

A

Sharmila, Notemonk found this out and asked us, his humble admins to fix that :) So we did fix it in the latest upgrade. The brainy monkey gets extra "item owner bonus" points for adding an answer.

When you dislike and answer you are in the opposition party in the voting round. If there is simple majority on the opposition side, then you get points as a responsible opposition monkey :)

Hope that helps!
