There's a member on the forum named "Wolfcastle." Apparently he has made no posts and has no highscores. But somehow he has 60 rank points. Is there something wrong there? -_-

I so want to know how you found this out.

There are some possibilities. For example, Wolfcastle could have done something by e-mail, and received those 50 points directly from someone who can just give them. Or it could be something totally different like deleting an only post that got to +50 (Hey, it could happen). But I'm not really that interested, to be honest.

How I found it out? If I see a member who is visiting the forum I haven't heard of before, I visit his profile and check it out. Just to see what type of person he is. Well, Wolfcastle was on about five minutes ago.

Okay, makes sense. Somehow I only thought about the less logical explanation (I mean, you'd have to be pretty lucky, no?) :P

And no, apparently I didn't think about the most logical explanation for the points either...

Well, does the bar actually give out rank points?
I've got all ten goodies, but never any rank points... Oh well :)

A habit I have to break. I'm doing that so very often now. As for the Bar and Rank Points theory, I checked the statistics and WolfCastle does indeed have 10 goodies.
As for the Delete the +50 post theory, who would? I would keep it as a monument of my awesomeness. :glasses

Keep posting,

- how did you know that Wolfcastle (or anyone else for that matter) was on the site?

Ahhhh. I didn't know that. That'll teach me not to ignore the small print at the bottom of a page! :rolleyes

Thanks! Elfstone.

Thats how I figured out he was a bar clicker.
