Trophy Award Points

Thursday I received a notice saying I had 30 trophy award points making my total 93. What exactly are these points for, I mean other than I like a lot of post, I have comments that have been liked etc. etc.. Do I build up points to exchange for fabulous prizes, will I get a password to a secret collectors society, I'm just curious. Is there a list of which member has the most points? Should I be setting point total goals? Does everyone win a trophy just because they participated? Please explain this to me.

Pretty sure that the scoring system maxes out at 113. I'll see if I can dig up the scoring table.

 

Yes the max is 113.. when you get there you will be part of the "in" crowd

No, you'll need to become a supporter to enter the "darknet" part of CT ;-)

 

Goals that need to be achieved I'm sure. I've always striven to be part of the in crowd. (NOT) I'm sure being a supporter has been covered but I can't remember just what that entails but I think I can probably accomplish both. Thanks for the info

 

OK I figured it out. When I get to 1000 post i will get the 20 points needed to hit the illustrious and coveted 113. Now just figure out how to be a supporter and I will be in the upper echelon of the coin collecting world.

 

Last I looked you can be a supporter you can do by month or year. It's not much. Look for it on your profile page. I've considered and eventually will.

 

@MKent it's on profile page under Account Upgrades

 

We should form a union and demand they raise the ceiling. 113 points aren't enough to get a bronze painted name plate, much less qualify for rehab.

 

113 points and $6+tax (where applicable) will get you a foot-long tuna sub on Friday at Subway.

With 113 points you get the secret handshake, but Doug still won't give you a "like"

 

crap I have 43. I need to do something right.

 

Oh! I'm on the notable members list! How did that happen????

 

Oops! That was a clerical error. You should have been on the Potable Members list.

So you're saying CoinTalk is the website where everything is made up and the points don't matter?

 

No, Jason! They don't have maid service to make your bed.

LOL - I can rest easily tonight I learned something new today. Was not even aware of the points.

 

Well I have reached the pinnacle of Coin Talk Award Points. I reached the 113 mark I consider myself a success. I am in the rarefied air of the numismatic forum elite.
