why so many new updates and they haven't yet made the 60 range ss score easier or faster I should say? Why must it remain difficult?

Question

To give users a challenge. Hope it encourages you to help .

the way the smartscore works will remain the same
it is a comparison of activity between all the users of OpenStudy
the more active and contributing you are, the higher and faster you would rank

the 60-70 range is where most users choose to stick around but have not really made a major enough contribution etc

its only difficult because a lot of people are within the 68-74 ss range, this slows it down a lot for people within that range and a little below to gain ss... after you get higher the scores are all over the place, SO this causes users to have to gain a LOT more in some areas then others, as more users become 99 and the one whos 100 make it gain approx 20 more points with every medal they give, approx 70 points for every post they answer, so basicly its those above you answering and being active that sadly makes it much much much harder for everyone else to raise there ss.

^ some people like to medal spam just to reach 99SS. I don't know why though. It's just a number and there are no added benefits to it...besides getting masstagged.
