What exactly does 'People Helped' mean on your SubTitle Scores on your profile? It says I have helped 216 people, but I know I have helped more than 216 people. Here is a screenshot http://prntscr.com/55s99t

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Is it like if someone tags you, and you respond to their question they tagged you in, and that counts as one person helped?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

I guess that is how many medals you got from a unique question asker...

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Not sure. I was wondering because someone tagged me, I answered their question, and my people helped went up 1.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

More like number of people that you have posted in a question from.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

???

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

You want to reword that> I am so confused...

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

If I reply to one or 100 questions that you have made, I have only helped one person.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

ohh

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

I have helped 239 people :)

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

It may also be dependent on if they are the one that gives you the medal for the question. That I do not know for sure.

sammixboo (sammixboo):

That is weird.. I have answered many questions from different users. I think I have at least answered more that 216 questions from different users

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know..

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

@e.mccormick Has helped like 929 users... :)

sammixboo (sammixboo):

And like you, E.McCormick you have answered over 5,000 questions yet it says you have helped 929 users

sammixboo (sammixboo):

See now it went up to 217 for me, and I have not answered anything, besides this post, since it was 216 :/

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

I am thinking the individual people that gave you a medal.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Yes, which makes sense because of how many times I answer questions for the same people. Also,I have a decent number of medals for the small number of questions I have asked. But I really do suspect is it when you answer a unique user AND get their medal. There are a ton of medals I got from other people viewing the question but I did not get the asker's medal.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

@satellite73 has helped 6663 people... And I see him go into each question that is vague and post noted...

sammixboo (sammixboo):

That makes a lot more sense
