Question

What exactly improves your SS?

Answer 1

Is it only medals, or is there more?

Answer 2

Like my tutorial says:

How to increase your smartcents? Every little thing you do on OpenStudy can increase your smartscore. It's how well you do these things to increase it. There's no fast easy way to increase it. It takes time.

For the problem solving portion, you must answer questions not only in detail, but guiding the user to understanding the problem. Giving direct answers is not only not allowed, but it doesn't even help the user understand anything. Plus, direct answers don't increase your smartscore as fast as answering in detail would.

Teamwork! One thing people consider to be somewhat hard to do. By gaining fans as well as fanning users, you are then increasing your smartscore even more! The more fans you earn, the higher you go. But be aware that creating accounts to fan yourself doesn't increase your smartscore by much. Also, it's not allowed and could lead to your main account being suspended forever. You best bet would be to enter chats, as well as help out a lot.

Lastly we have engagement. Here is the fun part, when you ask questions you're increasing your smartscore! Isn't that cool? You can increase your smartscore just by making threads you need help on! Not to mention the amount of medals you earn and give out can help increase it faster! But keep in mind, spamming yourself with medals isn't allowed on here and will not increase your smartscore fast at all. Another thing about engagement is that the longer you're on here, the higher your smartscore goes too!

It's as if almost everything on here will increase your smartscore. It can be fun and I hope you find it very fun too. I hope you have the best time on OpenStudy and good luck with the journey on here. c:

Answer 8

Other people who happen to stop by on that post might give you a medal. ;P

Answer 9

Got to thank @sleepyhead314 for compiling these replies. :D

Answer 10

Also, why doesn't making accounts and fanning yourself help your SS as much?

Answer 11

Fans do help your SS.

But making accounts to fan yourself is called "gaming the system."

Answer 12

Yeah but why doesn't it help your SS as much? Like it says up there ^ ?

Answer 13

being medalled/fanned/etc by Higher SS users counts more than being medaled/fanned/etc by new users

Answer 14

It does, but it helps it very smally.

Answer 15

Fanning is the main thing that helped :D

Answer 16

Oh thanks @sleepyhead314 for actually explaining it! :)

Answer 17

for example, I probably need only 3 medals from satellite to get to the next SS, but 10 medals from normal users xD

Answer 18

Actually no. Medals are equal from everyone.

Answer 19

I'm pretty sure higher SS counts for something ^_^

Answer 20

Thomaster's list said that it was equal for all people :P

Answer 21
