One community, two distinct measures

How points and reputation work

Read the complete program guide
01 · Lifetime progression

Contribution Points

Points recognise eligible effort across questions, answers, knowledge, events, mentoring and service. Your lifetime total determines your PKOUG rank and never resets.

  • +2 Normal question
  • +5 Post answer
  • +25 Accepted solution
  • +40 Approved article/tutorial
See all 11 lifetime ranks
02 · Quality and trust

Reputation

Reputation is earned only when activity carries a quality signal. Posting more is not enough; helpfulness, acceptance and reviewed work matter.

  • +2 Eligible upvote/helpful received
  • +15 Accepted solution
  • +3 Five votes on one answer
  • +5 Ten votes on one answer
Ordinary disagreement and downvotes do not automatically reduce reputation. Any meaningful deduction is audited.
03 · Period view

What this leaderboard shows

Period boards highlight current forum problem-solving. Top Answerers prioritises accepted solutions, then helpful answer votes, then answers. Community leaders and Top Contributors use contribution points earned during the selected period; a reversal counts against the period of the award it cancels.

  • Month recent impact
  • Year annual contribution
  • All time forum history
Lifetime rank is separate and does not reset when the leaderboard period changes.

Fair scoring: self-votes and duplicate events earn nothing. Withdrawn votes, removed content and changed acceptances create auditable reversals. Sponsorship, partnership and credentials cannot buy points, reputation, ranks or leadership.
