We're making some tweaks to the Warpcast rewards algo based on your feedback. First a quick recap on how scoring worked last week: 1. For each cast, get points for likes, recasts, follows 2. Only count engagement from known good users 3. Divide by sqrt(active followers) where (active = last 7 days)

"Known good users" was chosen carefully to prevent spam and gaming. It was a few thousand users that were classified as not spammy, had connected twitter accounts and a few other heuristics that were hard to game. "Normalize by active followers" was basically taking the number of followers in the set of known good users that followed you, taking the square root of that, and dividing your score by it. This was to give new users a leg up, so that it wasn't impossible for them to earn a reward.

Any chance we can include frame activities in the algo? I like playing the mini games like FarVille & Ball frames. Maybe also adding a feedback feature for users wanting to test out new frames. I’m not a builder/developer, but would love to participate more.

might be a good idea to have a separate rewards program for frame usage
