I recently posted a video from the Five Finger Death Punch 'Wrong Side of Heaven'. I got over 30 upvotes. I did not get my bonus at 10 and 25 upvotes. I am baffled. Has this happened to you here on RP? This is different when they edited my story.

Sir,

With all due respect, If you are here for point/bragging rights, I think you are in the wrong place.

Maybe I am wrong, but I came here to hear from my fellow veterans/active service to keep a "finger on the pulse" while exchanging ideas, pleasantries, and if I am lucky, KNOWLEDGE. I am not here for points, I thank everyone that "votes up" something I have posted (I consider it as a "LIKE" on FB) as it tells me someone appreciated reading it. They do not have to agree/disagree, just take it for what it is worth (my experience, my opinion, my joke, ...)

Thank you RP for being here to re-connect with some friends and to meet new ones. I appreciate that you actually do something to verify the people and it is not full of "wanna-be's".

You sound like Gunny on the history channel LOL!

Many here appreciate my candor, jokes and serious topics and it rarely is about me. There is no I in team but if its wrong the system only gives me points for one time in five in last 24 hours for five stories i posted here with over 10 votes. its just for FYI to RP management.

I am not in a popularity contest. My life has meaning outside this domain. There is no such thing as a dumb question. I am not a wanna- be. I just a humble contributor who hopes the glitch/issue can be corrected or explained so others learned from it.

I just wanted to help and its not a selfish thing to ask about the points. Management here is looking into.

Look at the posting just under this where the guy implied that I was out of line. The RP staff and other contributors here backed me up saying I saw supportive and selfless in my posts.
look/scroll for the ME-262 German Jet from WW2 and you will find that post LOL.

I'll need to confirm, but according to the support section... only "questions" are awarded Accomplishment Badges
http://support.rallypoint.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1391688-what-are-rallypoint-accomplishment-badges-
Same general idea for influence points for "responses" to QUESTIONS or discussions...

http://support.rallypoint.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1338230-how-does-the-influence-score-work-

Sir you posted a link...which I dont "think" qualifies for Accomplishment Badges and or the accompanying influence points for responses... But Im not positive so lets ask...

SSG Carlos Madden Links are a relatively "new" thing are users supposed to receive response influence points and or Accomplishment Badges for up votes, or responses on links?

LTC (Join to see) - And again sir, that is a link you shared, not a question.... I "THINK" links do not accrue the influence points..or at least that's what the support article implies...
SSG Carlos Madden will clue us in for sure as he comes back to work.

SGM Erik Marquez - OK, Erik, I did review my file and I did, in the past, get 250 points for a response and you looked at my profile and I did get a few 250 points bonuses at the 10 up-vote point. Today I had 2 stories (Laugh-in and Special Forces Canadian General negligent discharge) that did not get the bonus. I know the points are not a big deal but it is more the principle. I wonder once you go over 300k if it stops?

Usually I receive a bonus when 10, 25 or 50 up-votes LTC (Join to see). Over the past month or so I noticed I didn't get a bonus for 10 up-votes to my response to one question.

Stephen did they tamper with your story subject line? On this particular one they did.
There goes the theory if you get it edited by RP its chances are high your bonus at 10 and 25 upvotes does not kick in.
