Answer 6

i think they calculate it depending on how many times you ask a question and when you repond to a question hi :)

Answer 7

that kinda makes sense. but then you have to ask A LOT of questions to get to 100. i'm been here for like 1 month or so and i'm at 56, so it's going to take a while.

Answer 8

It gets harder to level up after you reach 50.

Answer 9

Also, if you hover over your ss, and below the Twitter and FB thing, it'll say "What is SmartScore?" click that.

Answer 10

ok. thx

Answer 11

yup

Answer 12

The calculation is a relative scale. Each action on the site triggers what we call a point grant. Point grants have categories. Your categorical smart score is an indication of where, in the rank of all users, the value of your point grants for that category place you. The overall smart score tells you where the value of all your point grants place you relative to all other users on the system.

There's some more magic that happens behind the scenes, but that's the summary.
