I recently started doing transliterations and I noticed that every time I post one, I lose seven points and gain three. I keep losing more and more points, why is this?
This is a way how system works, transliteration is awarded 3 points only, and it goes like this - system gives the user 10 points for a translation, and then it deducts 7 points, because it is transliteration. So the bottom line is 3 points.
That's a bug. I encountered another bug with the point system recently. I've now forwarded yours to the admins. Thank you for reporting it.
Thanks for a heads up. The thing is fixed, points are restored to correct numbers.
I just posted another transliteration and the same thing happened. :-(
Hmm, odd. Could it be related at all to the way I remain "Junior Member" despite having passed the 120 point mark?
Yep, it is related. The points given as correction to the bug bypassed the rank giving system. We'll fix that manually.
Still losing points, I hope it's fixed soon! :-)

Ohh ok, now I understand. I'm sorry about all this, I was just really confused.
Ah gotcha... just saw this too and I was wondering... Thanks for clearing it!
