It's never so much as to why but more as to why not.

Hi. Magne.zw of Zhamlotian Works here. Wish I knew how to use this site so...

Well answers for most of the basic questions can be answered here: <a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/lit/faq/">http://www.newgrounds.com/lit/faq/</a>

But I find the FAQ to be lacking in some areas, so I´ll give a brief explanation of some of the basics.

EXP points. EXP is used to determine your voting power and level, and is raised by voting on five portal submissions (flash) a day, which gives 10 XP for each day you do so (max 10 XP a day!!).

What currently says "Rank Civilian" on your userpage, and blam+save. This is your number of total flash in the portal that you´ve either helped SAVING or BLAMMING, at certain checkpoints the text next to rank changes (you gain a level in Blam/Save), which increases your voting power by X% (lvl 2 gives 2 percent extra voting power, which would give you a voting power of 1.80 instead of 1.5. Then level 3 gives 4%, which gives a voting power of 2.1 at your level). To gain a BLAM or SAVE point you need to vote on a flash that is underlined with purple in the portal, listed on the left side. By voting 0-1 you get a BLAM point, should the flash get a score of less than 1.6 at 200 votes and respectively you get a SAVE point if the flash gets a score of 1.60 or greater at 200 votes. Flash that do not have a score of 1.6 or higher at 200 votes are deleted from the site (BLAMMED). You do not get negative points if your vote is different from the result, ex. if you vote 3 on a flash that gets blammed.

Whistle status - normal. This is another stat, this one is based on how much rule breaking (abusive) content you flag (the little yellow X on reviews, right under the flash on under judgement flash ("purple flash") and in "report abuse" on art. Of course the content needs to be deleted in order to give points. Also note that if the content you flag turns out not to break any rules, or compensate for its rule-breaking by being very helpful otherwise ("BLAM rule" for reviews) you might get negative whistle points from your flag. This is to prevent abuse from stat-whoring users. Also you gain levels at checkpoints, which increases your whistles power (Broken<Normal(starting point)<Bronze<Silver<Gold<Deity). Power and checkpoints are unknown, except for the power or Garbage, which is 0. The purpose of the whistle is to find rule-breaking material that would otherwise not be found by the mods.

Medal points. These have no purpose other than motivation to play games, there is a ranking list of the top 50 medal points holders, but it´s unofficial.
