# Earn Points

If you're posting about a tracked community on X, you're already earning points, and points are what turn into your tipping allocation. There is nothing to sign up for and no wallet to connect: everything happens inside the Motion system, and the only on-chain moment is when you claim your tips.

## Who earns

Almost anyone. Two bars to clear:

* **25+ followers**
* **Account at least 30 days old**

That's it.

## What earns

The same four moves from [How It Works](/how-it-works.md):

* **Reply** to a tracked post
* **Quote** a tracked post
* **Retweet** a tracked post
* **Post or mention** the community yourself

Each eligible action earns points when the cycle it happened in closes, and your points across the cycle set your tip allocation. Not every action is worth the same: the scoring algorithm weighs what you did, where you did it, and the reach of your profile.

The exact weights are not published, on purpose. A scoring mechanism only works while it can't be gamed, so the algorithm stays private and changes over time.

## Why did my post score zero?

The usual suspects, in order:

1. **Account too new**: under 30 days old.
2. **Too few followers**: under 25.
3. **Duplicate text**: the words match a post already scored, ever. Swapping a link or emoji on a copy-paste won't get past it.
4. **Already counted**: same action on the same post, same cycle.
5. **Spam filter**: the system flags spam patterns inside every 30-minute window to keep bots out.

On top of the automated filters, the team manually reviews top accounts every week. Bots and spam accounts that slip through are removed from indexing, and their activity stops counting.

**Check that you scored:** open the [leaderboard](/leaderboard-and-tip-allocation.md) after a cycle closes and search your handle. Your strongest posts are listed right on your row.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.motion.tips/qualify-and-earn.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
