Blind Dev community

Community points

Blind Dev has two separate scores: main community points for useful activity and task points for specific actions completed through the bot.

Main points and task points

• Main community points reflect helpful participation: useful answers, discussion contributions, manual admin awards, and other actions that support the community.
• Task points are stored separately in tasks_scores. They are used for bot tasks, reviews, feedback, and bug reports.
• Completing tasks does not increase the main score, the daily activity leaderboard, or the weekly activity leaderboard.
• The separate task leaderboard is available in the bot through /top tasks_scores.

Where to check your balance

• /profile shows your profile, daily points, total main balance, skills, and linked data when available.
• /top shows the top participants by main points or by a specific skill.
• /top_dayly shows the activity top for the current day.
• /top tasks_scores shows the separate task points leaderboard.

Active skills

The current active skill list contains these skills:

• #help — helping members, useful answers, and discussion contributions.
• #bug hunter — useful bug reports and accessibility issue reports.
• #feedback master — useful feedback: improvement ideas, UX observations, unclear places, and suggestions for copy, menus, and user flows.

Donations remain a way to support the project, but they are not a separate skill: not every transfer can be tracked automatically, so donation points are not promised.

If an admin awards main points with an unknown #skill, the regular points are still awarded, but the unknown skill is not saved to the public skill list.

How points are roughly awarded

These are guidelines, not an automatic price list. The final award depends on usefulness, accuracy, and context.

• A useful answer or helping another member usually gives +1–3 main points.
• A notable discussion contribution or useful help with analysis may give up to +5 main points.
• A useful bug or accessibility report usually gives +5–10 in the #bug hunter skill.
• Useful feedback without a specific bug may manually receive the #feedback master skill when it helps make the site, bot, copy, or user flows clearer.
• Bot tasks have fixed rewards shown in /tasks and go to separate task points.
• Reviews, feedback, and bug reports are awarded after moderation. They usually add task points, and bug reports may additionally add #bug hunter.

Main points may be awarded by admins for useful messages, helping other members, contributing to discussions, and sharing materials carefully without spam.

#feedback master is a new skill, so it is not included in the first award based on already accumulated ratings. The first award remains based on the main leaderboard and #bug hunter.

These awards may be connected to an active skill when a known skill tag is used.

Bot tasks

The /tasks section gives task points for useful actions: trying a project, setting up needed data, leaving a review, sending feedback, or reporting an issue.

Current task examples include:

• try @price_informerBot and add cryptocurrencies or stocks to favorites;
• log in to @readdle_bot with a Viz account;
• add at least one wallet in the Wallets section.
• submit a review, feedback, or bug report for moderation.

Check the bot for exact current conditions and rewards: the task list can change as projects evolve.

Reviews, feedback, and bug reports

• Reviews, feedback, and bug or accessibility reports are submitted for moderation.
• Rewards are awarded only after admin approval.
• Approved reviews, feedback, and reports add task points, not main activity points.
• An approved bug or accessibility report may also add the same amount to the bug hunter skill if that skill is enabled in the bot configuration. The current reward for such a report is +5.

Fair use and moderation

• Points are meant to support useful activity, not spam or manipulation.
• Admins may decline points for questionable activity.
• If points are awarded by mistake, they may be corrected.
• Links, self-promotion, and mass messages without value may be limited by chat rules.

Why points exist

Main points help show active community members. Task points separately show contributions to project testing, reviews, feedback, and issue reports.

Public leaderboard

The leaderboard can be switched between different types of contribution: main points show community activity, task points show specific bot actions, and the bug hunter skill shows help with bugs and accessibility issues.

Data is loaded from the Blind Dev Bot. The public view shows only rank, display name, and score; Telegram IDs and private data are not published. If the leaderboard is temporarily unavailable, the same top can be opened in the bot with /top.
