Booshaka FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the point system work?
- Posts, comments and likes are all worth 1 point each. But don't just try to create the most posts and comments. Your score is weighted by the quality of your participation. Higher quality activity (on topic and engages with the community) will earn extra points. Lower quality activity (off topic and spam) will earn less points. And consistent activity over time is more valuable than repeatedly performing the same action, such as clicking the Like button on every post.
- How many points did I just earn?
- When you post or comment or Like while on Booshaka, we'll let you know right away how many points you earned. But keep in mind that those points will keep growing if the community rallies around you! On the other hand, if your activities are repetitive or off topic, then they'll be worth less overall.
- Do I get points for posting directly to the Facebook page?
- Of course! Although your score won't be updated until the next day.
- How often do you calculate the rankings?
- The rankings for each page are calculated at the end of each day. The rankings reset at the end of each month. So you can always climb to the top!
- How do I, the page owner/manager, reset my leaderboard?
- You do not have to do anything. We reset the monthly leaderboard at the beginning of every month. However, we do not display the new month leaderboard till the 3rd of the month (depending on your time zone). This allows a few days for page owners to recognize the previous month's top fans.
- What kind of rewards do I get for climbing the leaderboards on a Facebook page?
- For many of those pages, finding out about their top fans is a brand new idea and we're encouraging them to recognize you for your support. We're providing a simple way to figure this out, so that promotions are built around engagement rather than randomness. And let those pages know that your efforts deserve a reward!
