Correct Answer point didnt reflect on my overall points

[former_member193460]

Hi Team,

     I answered a "correct " and a "helpful" answer for two different question. however, only the helpful "points +5" is reflected in my overall points.

I know points are not everything, but i have set myself milestone for the year on (no of points), so please help me achieve the missed +10 points.

Thanks,

Tashi

you shouldn't set/accept goals that totally depend on the generosity and responsiveness of others.

Even the points are the easiest way to measure it, It is currently only a minority who are closing their questions as expected.

Measure your happiness, e.g. number of days where you was able to help somebody, number of answers where you were proud on your answer because it solved a real challenging issue. Number of likes given by others than the questioner himself.

These goals on point have already (especially towards years end) caused some negative spin-offs which finally led to  zero points and a lost user-id. I don't want to describe this in more detail to avoid giving examples to some weak folks which might think they can do it smarter than those who got caught
