you recieve points by posting non-spam posts, i'm also new. I hope i answered your question also, before anyof them will work, you have to update your library files
also, when you become level 1 user and later on a level 2 user, you get an additional chunk of points as well
The rules should say this but just incase you didnt see, dont make spammy posts to gain points thats an easy way to get banned. Just point worthwhile posts and you will get the programs some day. Just be a good member your stay will be much better
You get points for doing non-spam posts, and donating to the site. You get 25 points when you turn level 1 (at 125 posts) and 75 points when you turn level 2 (at 300 posts).
Spam. The answer was already given, and a link to the rules was enough... everything is explained in the rules...
