This is a very common question, and we know that it would be very motivating to know exactly how many points you have at any given time.
We have just implemented a system that will tell you how many points you have earned for most actions that you have taken, such as publishing a blog post, writing a comment, or inviting a friend. However, this should only be used as a general guideline, as points for reads on your blog and any bonus point opportunities you have won will not be included. You will see a red notice at the top of each page after you have done something to earn points, telling you how many points you have earned (10 points for a comment, etc), and the total points you have earned for these basic actions.
You can get an idea of how many read points you have by reviewing your old posts and looking at the 'reads' numbers below each post. By the end of the semester many people find that tens of thousands of people have read their posts. Read points can really add up!
However, there are some caveats. ProgressiveU.org reserves the right to remove posts at any time, particularly if complaints are received about the post for violations of the Terms of Use or other official policy. Also, posts may be disqualified if our logs show that the read counts were manipulated by automated systems or by repeated access from the same computer. Please see the Official Rules for more details.
