Some guy gave your tutorial a 2, that probably did it.

Don't know how recent this is:

? quote:

snarkmarks = ceil[5*(#tutorial or map comments) + 10*(#tuts)*(#average tut rating) + 5*(#answered qs in editing forum) + [(#forum posts)+(5*(#topics started))]*(#your user rating) + 10*(#average map rating)*(#no.of maps you've made)] + (#profile hits)

So... you've got ten thousand SnarkMarks and you don't even know why? Did I read that correctly?

I'm guessing ceil is a really small number. [addsig]

ceil is the ceiling function, it rounds up a number, e.g. ceil(3.2) = 4.

There should only be a certain amount of Snarkmarks and we can play a FUN GAME where we steal them from eachother. We lose them for every flamewar and thread resurrection we get involved in. And you have to BUY access to tutorials with them!!

heh heh

The formula has been changed seemingly hundreds of times since it was first implemented. I'm sure that one is far out of date.
