      1000 bean points can be redeemed for a high-quality bean hug!

      100 000 bean points can be redeemed for a bean birthday party!

          You can calculate it yourself using the following:

          • +10 bean points for every bean post having a positive score
          • +5 bean points for every contributional (i.e.: not spammy) comment on a bean post where the comment has a positive score
          • +1 bean point for every upvote received beyond the initial
          • -1 bean point for every downvote received
          • +2 bean points for each bean pictured in a bean post having a positive score

            This is a bit confusing as I am borderline stupid, so please bear with me. Tell me if I got it right.

            Each comment I made on this post is worth +5 bean points, and THEN I add up all the upvotes on each of those posts? Does the initial upvote count too? Can this not be abused by posting a lot of comments?

            Thank you.

              I have provided some revisions. Thank you for analyzing the game theory of the bean points rules!
