How do some people get so many POINTS in a week?

[Mr_GO_HERD]

Ive already done all the extras like fixing 50 map problems and driving 500 miles in a week etc. Ive never gotten near the amount of points in a given week that I see many people getting week after week after week. I report stuff I see, gas station prices, etc all day every day and yet I never get as many points.

Am I not doing something?

Spending hours per day editing the maps will get you lots of points (and carpel tunnel, and blurry eyes, and angry family ) Additionally I get my points in batches because I actually do not have a daily commute. You get bonus points for edits, so when I do get in the car, I have bonuses for 1, 2, or even 3 weeks worth of edits waiting out there for me! Every 500 edits gives you a bonus candy. So I tend to either be at the top of the scoreboard for my state or somewhere at the bottom.

Thanks for the reply! I have recently started updating the maps myself. So based on your reply you get more points for continuously updating maps?

How are points calculated?

You receive a different number of points for each activity as listed in the tables below. Note that the number of points you get for distance related activities is different when measured in miles and in kilometers. In effect you get the same points, the table just shows you the translation of the two measurements system.
Activity Points Unit
Road reporting1 6 per report
Report comments 3 per comment
Editing the map2 1.5 per edit3
Solving map update requests 3 per request solved
Adding street names 3 per name
Adding house numbers4 3 per house number
Forum posts 2 per 3 forum posts

I noticed that Even with the truncated name on the scoreboard I knew it was you!
