With some options offering more than points at once than others, some being immediately more than obvious than others and some having a meliorate pay-off for what you are doing than others, it'southward likely at to the lowest degree some of them may go unnoticed by brand new users until a few months or maybe years go by, or they find out nearly them by pure chance.
That is why this Wiki goes through all the possible ways to earn points on the site in the about detailed and articulate way possible, so information technology tin exist referred to new members that may accept doubts about the system or wants to larn information technology more profoundly.

Here are all the methods:

1. Submissions:

Beingness the most obvious one, submitting just nearly anything that has to practice with skins, sounds, maps, etc will get you+25 points, yet not all submission types are equal and in some of them the pay-off can be up to+50 instead of the expected+25 while others volition offer fifty-fifty less.

In that location is however a bit more than when information technology comes to submissions as the quality of what you're submitting tin can increase the full amount of profit in the adjacent ways:

1.2. Featured submission(south):

You also get a few neat stars on the submission based on the feature blazon to avowal at other users for your achievements as a modder.

Although a prissy way to become rewarded for hard work and sheer dedication, competition e'er ensues, making it a tough spot to reach!

1.3. Getting "Thanked":

From time to time your submissions may catch the attending of someone who enjoys what you've put forrard a little too much, possibly what you lot did is something the needed or wanted to run into but couldn't bring themselves to ask for information technology, maybe they are grateful for your hard work and dedication, or maybe they're merely some very kind-hearted folks.
Whatever the case, on every submission at that place is the choice to "Thank" yous (or for you to "Give thanks" someone), which will give you (or them) as little as+5 points or every bit much equally+thousand points, all dependent on how much the thanking user (or y'all) decides to give away!
And remember, do non enquire for points through the "Thanks" system, that's what the "Donations Module" on a user'due south profile is for!

2. Logins and Perks:

Login-in every 24 hours is a guaranteed+1 point every time, making it worth your while to come back every day to visit at the very least.
Remaining in the site however has a greater advantage as there are several "Perks" (or Medals) that work somewhat similarly to "achievements" which can heave and help yous earn that little extra every time you come up back:

2.1. X year member:

Bananites that manage to stay on the site long plenty tin become higher/rarer perks which will increase their amount of login points based on the corresponding account age. This are chosen "X Years a Member" awards.
They become from the lowest being awarded after your account has reached one month of age, up to the current maximum which is 10 years of business relationship historic period, each one offering more and more daily login points!
The first 3 awards (1 month, 6 months and one year) will grant+1 betoken each combined with the default daily login earnings, thus making it+two points per login, in one case you get to two years, you'll get an additional+twopoints per login then on~. An fifty-fifty greater characteristic is that they can substantially stack on top of some other, for instance if your account has half dozen years of age the daily login, ane month, 6 months,1 twelvemonth, two years, 4 years and vi years perks will stack up, significant that for every 24 hours you login there will be a total of+sixteen points waiting!

Turns out getting old isn't all that bad subsequently all, huh?

3. Community and posts:

Not anybody was born to brainstorm the best ideas or handle game modding software like a paid professional game developer and that's perfectly understandable!
That is why the site offers the ability to gain a few extra points past simply beingness part of the community and not behaving like a child whose mother won't purchase him Lego.

If your shining traits lay on your neat personality, observational skills, or an odd taste on writing long walls of text, this fashion of earning points volition surely audio the most appealing equally it can yet exist as assisting every bit submitting your life away!

These methods are:

iii.1. Exemplary posts/awards:

You can read almost this bit of the Wiki on tom'due south Exemplary Feedback page, just just for content reasons, it'll also be explained here (albeit somewhat differently).

This is easily 1 of the near tempting ones for those who wish to wholeheartedly become a leading example for the remainder, and offer their time to help those in demand, or just to assistance someone ameliorate their submissions!
Having been created equally a ways to promote proficient behavior and helpful feedback among the community, Exemplary Posts are notnecessarily awarded to those who write the longest posts, but rather the ones that have done their best to help someone who required it in a clear manner, neat formatting, and with all the information required.
Alternatively, it is too awarded to posts that give well idea-out and detailed feedback (or reviews) to any sort of submission that could be improved upon, for the sake of making GB a site that offers quality over quantity!

One time y'all receive an "Exemplary Postal service" perk, information technology volition grant you+1 point for every post you lot brand on a submission (Information technology does not work when you post on someone's profile, or on threads).
Depending on how many posts accept been exemplified, information technology can too "level upwards", giving an actress signal for every post to level, thus making information technology+2 per post...+3per mail service... etc...

If yous have some difficulties agreement the concept of being a skillful user, and condign helpful to the community, make sure to read Will2k's "The Art of Being Helpful" (and besides the Part II) article equally well!

At present leave in that location and be a good instance!

3.2. Bounty hunts:

Some people lack the skills in a sure modding attribute, or maybe they don't have enough time in their lives to fulfill their own wishes, that's why there are what's known equally "Requests"!
The requirements of every request tin can vary profoundly, though all of them have a bounty arrangement in common with points gear up by the requester or even another users in order to reward the "compensation hunter" that successfully delivers on what's existence requested!
The minimum corporeality you lot can become from a bounty is+20 points, notwithstanding if the asking is of a bigger calibration, the bounty may exist higher than that.
If y'all tin discover a well-paid bounty you may stop up getting a very neat profit if you lot are willing to cede your time filling what'due south requested!
There are bounties that cease upward reaching+5.000 points from time to fourth dimension, so make sure y'all keep your eyes open, and acuminate upwards those modding skills!

iii.iii. Donations:

Kind users and bananites that dear to share or give things to others can use the "Donate Points" module that can exist onto the profile in order to brainstorm receiving complimentary points if someone is willing to send yous some!
The module has to exist placed in order to begin receiving donations as there is no other way to receive them as far as information technology's known.
Recollect: Do not use the "Thanks" system on submissions as a replacement to the Donations Module, and don't try abusing the donations system past asking for them constantly!

three.four. Subscribers:

If your submissions quality is always to a higher place expectations or if you're someone legitimately interesting who would entertain anyone past just simply writing or posting, people may pick upwardly an involvement and subscribe to you!

If they exercise, y'all volition receive+25 points, and then on for every subscriber you lot get.
Nice as it sounds, this won't turn upwardly to be as profitable unless y'all milk your creativity and power to create mods to the max and gather what can be called an "audience".

And that is every way GameBanana offers points to it's users, information technology's a site full of opportunities for such!
There is no better style to get them than to brand the best of everything and go on active in the community through all it'southward aspects, every bit whatsoever type of difficult work isalways rewarded (more or less)!

All the same, always proceed in heed that these systems can be exploited even on "accident", which may count as some type or some other of "rule breaking". Brand sure y'all go through the Site Rules whenever in dubiousness, and if you still are unsure of certain things contact an Admin to ensure yous stay trouble gratuitous!
