I think I have a +20, but that was from a mod as well.

That makes sense. Since it costs at least 2 mod points to rank someone and you only get 1 mod point per rank-up, I knew the extra mod points had to be coming from somewhere. I just figured it was coming through contest winners.

Well, contest winning counts as getting the points dumped on you in my book... Note that I didn't specify which reason. Oh, and I'm out of points...

Contest winners only get rank points. They don't any get mod points as far as I know.

The trick is that the admins and several non-admin people have an arbitrarily large supply of mod points, which Schik resets every now and then. Essentially, they have infinite mod points. This is how the system is seeded - they can mod to their heart's content.

Aah... but they can also just give mod/rank points without giving the other. That's how I got a large supply of mod points without the corresponding rank points.
