Modifications to the Scoring System

Hi everyone!

We're working closely with users to fine-tune the way points are awarded on Udorse. More changes to come, but in the meantime we've made the the following changes:

  • Instead of a 25 point bonus for adding a second hotword, you get the bonus after your first.  We want to make it easier to earn that reward, and encourage users to add a hotword to their udorsements even if they can't come up with two.
  • The first two hotwords remain worth a base three points, but hotwords beyond the first two don't automatically score points any more.  Users were saying they felt like every non-hotword in their udorsement was a waste of characters, and we don't want to provide a disincentive to write out a descriptive caption instead of just a string of tags.
More changes coming soon!  Have fun!
