Topic: points

I posted a 12 line poem on Premium.  The first time I did it, I didn't have any content showing, which I'm sure I managed to mess up somehow.  When I went in to edit, I got the poem on, and it shows up, with the gold coins next to it, but none of my points were deducted.  Cool.  Please don't think I'm complaining about this, but I thought I should mention it.  I like it!

This is how the point system works. Once you make an initial post you can edit it without having to pay points. We had it so that adding content via an edit costs points but there was a huge outcry so we pulled it out.

This is a potential route for cheating the point system. I realize this wasn't your intention at all. The downside to this is that the content doesn't pay a lot of points and might not attract reviewers. My advice is to take it down and post afresh with the updated content.

Thank you Sol for your reply.  Since I don't know what I did wrong originally, I think I'll just delete the poem, and try it again in a few days.   arggh.
Thanks,
Janet
