Awards, Points and Kudos Explained
Awards
OK... So you like the medals in the table and you want one... Here's how... Pro Submitter award... This is given out by the guys in the backroom that go through the hundreds of submissions that come in everyday. This particular award is given based on the consistant quality of your submissions, we look at spelling, layout, ease of reading, and informative quality, and if they feel you meet the bar, then you get the Pro award, the main benefit of this is that Pro submissions are always processed first.
The other awards are related to your 'Expert' status, basically for the more games you are listed as an expert for, better expert medal you get. You need to be listed as an expert in multiple games before getting the first of these expert medals. To become an expert you just need to have a Top 5 points score for any game, and that score must be 10 or over.

Kudos
This is basically our formula for trying to work out who has made the most submissions, or is really active on the forums. Basically, we take your points score from submissions, your forum posts (from video game forums only) and if you have mod spots or are a 'pro' submitter, stick that into an equation and out pops your individual kudos score in the form or a cool graphical bar.
