Daily SCN: Point Bonus Chart

We've recently changed how bonuses are awarded, so please read the new bonus chart (there is an FAQ about the switch & your streaks at the bottom of the page)!
Every time you answer a question, you will be awarded points the next day for answering it! This applies to Question of the Day (QOTD), Poll of the Day (POTD), and Factoid of the Day (FOTD). The more days you have answered, the more each day's answer will be worth! For example, if you've answered a total of 19 QOTDs, your 20th QOTD will be worth 50 points instead of just 25 points. Read the chart below to see how your bonuses will increase as you've answered more QOTDs, POTDs, and FOTDs.

In addition, on special landmark days, you'll be awarded point bonuses just for reaching a new level of bonus! For example, if you've answered a total of 19 QOTDs, your 20th QOTD will get you a 200 point bonus just for answering it (in addition to your daily bonus of 50 points!). This applies for each Daily section -- QOTD, POTD, and FOTD.

Answer every day to rack up the points!

FAQ
  1. What about my "streak"?
    We used to only give you bonuses if you answered every day in a row. We wanted to award special bonuses only to people who were extremely diligent in answering every single day in a row. This turned out to be disappointing to people who were diligent 364 days in a row, but had to be on vacation on the 365th day, since all the hard work was flushed down the tube! We know it was annoying to lose your streak, so our new bonuses count the cumulative number of questions you've answered, not how many you've answered in a row. This way you don't have to stress out if you miss a day!
  2. I don't understand the new bonuses.
    Don't worry about the specifics -- you'll see in your Bonus Box on the daily page when you login what bonuses you'll receive each day. After a couple of days it'll be clear.
  3. But my streak was so far ahead of everyone!
    You should keep answering every day. We've expanded how many points you get for answering questions. Before, you'd only get 100 points per question after the 28th day. Now, your bonus keeps going up for higher numbers of days answered. The 500th day you answer your bonus jumps 50 points per day, and if you reach 1,000 answers or more, your bonus is 200 points for EACH ANSWER! That's 600 points per day just for answering QOTD, POTD and FOTD! Not bad, huh?
