link What are medals?
We felt like our users should be rewarded and recognized for their good deeds and contributions to the communities so we designed the medal system. Based on your activity within a club tu can earn different levels of medals. Think of the medallas as a measure of reputation. The higher the medal, the más respected the user in that club. These medallas are awarded to those who regularly contribute quality content from:
* posting highly-rated links, videos, imágenes and articles
* starting active foros topics and picks
* and active participation
How do tu earn medals?
We have a magic scoring system that we like to keep secret so that we don’t promote abuse o gaming from users. fanpop is about collaboration, not competition. All tu need to know is that if tu keep on contributing great stuff to the club, tu will be rewarded accordingly. Think of it like getting that bonus present under the navidad árbol that tu weren’t expecting from Santa. It's that much sweeter when tu get a surprise.
