    Betpoints value of a Post Nomination?

    How many betpoints do you think a nomination is worth? I struggle with what to give. I am vain and betpoints don't mean much to me. I have only used them to give away and get in contests and re-up pro, so I feel like the nomination is worth a lot...maybe... 20 betpoints???

    Is there an official guideline on this?

    20% of your points that you accumulated that day is industry standard

    I understand you grease

    he isn't asking what SBR gives for 10 nominations

    he is saying when he likes a post and nominates it, he likes to also be generous and give his own points.

    And he wonders wha a fair amount to give is....

    greaser hrs would be an example of a pos that you should give 250-500 points for

    if you get a post nominated 10 times. SBR will give you ten points.

    they don't give you 10 more when you get up to 20,30,40 though

    Yes, really, I had no idea SBR gave you anything for nominations.

    I was just thinking, what says "that was a fukkin great post"? Points or nomninations?

    Before this thread I was thinking a nomination was more of a "awesome post" gesture.... but when you consider that SBR gives 10 points for 10 nominations... nominations don't mean much.

    It's an SEO trick

    In some vbulletin boards you get notifications of "rep" which is what I believe the nomination is based on. SBR doesn't even notify you of that so most nominations are like trees falling in the woods.

    i think I put him over with the tenth; enjoy your ten points!!!

    on a side note, I should get ten points for my avatar.... the video I screenshot it from was worthy of nomination, as well..... not to mention worthy enough to make me lose about 3-4 ounces of body weight yesterday while the wife was away at a business dinner.....

    If I remember right it used to be getting 10 nominations meant getting a point reward. I don't know whether it's still true or not but the reason it may have been changed was because people in the service play forum kept nominating the thread creator to circumvent point awards from non pros.

    yep, when I got one of those messages with ten points for my 10,000th post validation vid, I thought, "hey, SBR Brass finally noticed the true artistry of The Donk."

    silly me, it was an automated gimmick generated by the no. of "nominations" I got for the damn thing......

    but now how I know how the system works, I'm surprised waves and sniper haven't found a way to scam it, by using ghost accounts to repeatedly nominate all their posts ten times to bankrupt SBR in a matter of months.....

    LSU4everandever, Ivanloko, etc. .... it would be the "Ten Horseman"
