See our FAQ for a list of points given for different activities.
Here are the current point values (these may change in the future)
KidzTalk registered members get points by asking and answering questions. Getting upvotes and having your answer selected as best is another way. A small number of points are given when you upvote another question. Users with enough points get ranked in the Users section. Points let you have things like an advice column, blog, and an avatar. They also give you badges and entry to exclusive KidzTalk online clubs. More points mean more special privileges.
