It seems HN changed it to old.reddit.com but it doesn't load. Here is the working link: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/community-points" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/community-points</a>
> People earn Points by contributing to the community, for example by submitting quality posts and comments. Based on these contributions, the community ultimately decides how many Points each person receives.<p>What does this mean? Is it just that votes get translated into "Community points", or is there some other process by which "the community decides"?<p>Edit: Ok, the Distribution section later describes it.<p>> To propose a change, publish an alternative list and create a poll to have the community approve it. If the poll meets the minimum quorum and passes (by Points), it becomes the official contribution score (except in case of significant bribery).<p>What the ...? It reads like an April fools entry. Unfortunately, we're far from April.
