New rules regarding Content awards; DKP for comments

As the simExchange grows, it is necessary that the rules evolve with that growth. In the early days, to encourage users to submit content, the focus of the rules were just to provide an incentive for users to submit anything. Now there is a strong flow of content and it is more important to the Community that the submitted content be helpful—with descriptive headlines and quality content. The awards for submitting content have been revised to the following:

Articles: 750 DKP
Images: 250 DKP
Videos: 1000 DKP

For each up vote, the submitter will receive 200 DKP. For each down vote, the submitter will lose 100 DKP. These changes are made to the submitter’s Vote Trust so that only the net transaction is recorded.

If an article, image, or video makes the game’s stock page and has at least 5 votes, it will be awarded “Popular” credit, which is paid immediately. The awards are the following:

Articles: 1500 DKP
Images: 1000 DKP
Videos: 3000 DKP

Players will also be awarded 100 DKP for each up vote they receive for their comments, but will also be deducted 50 DKP for each down vote they receive for comments.

These rules are effective immediately and are applied to all content and comments on record. The Rules page has been updated.
