Points: instant good karma!

DeviantART is proud to introduce our newest feature: Points!  The perfect way to show your friends you care, Points can be used to reward fellow deviants for a job well done, to support commissions, buy awesome gear from deviantWEAR, order Prints, or to simply give a gift with love. The more Points you've got, the more you can share!  :heart:


:hug:  It's easy to share the wealth!

You get Points by gift or purchase and the reasons for sharing are endless!  You can transfer Points to someone for an inspirational deviation, wish them a happy birthday, or give props for an amusing comment.  When you give Points, you can even include a special note as part of the transfer.  Additionally, Points can be used for every purchase in deviantWEAR and throughout the Prints Shop.  


:megaphone:  Ask and you shall (hopefully) receive!

If you need Points, go ahead and ask!  Friends, and all deviants, can easily give Points from their My Points page or from your own Profile Page using the 'Give' drop-down menu.  We've also given you a link that you can put in comments or journals so deviants can give you Points with a single click.  

Simply use the following URL:  http://yourusernamehere.deviantart.com/?givepoints  

Just be sure to swap out 'yourusernamehere' with your actual username!


:note:  But wait, there's more!

You get 80 Points for every U.S. dollar, so you can load up quickly and start sharing a lot or a little without having to whip out your wallet for individual transactions.  Giving deviants one Point at a time is a great way to validate what deviants do and getting one Point should be as exciting as a thousand.

When you give Points, a special message is sent to the recipient's Message Center, the transfer is instantly registered in the accounts of the sender and receiver, and a private transaction record shows up on the My Points page.   Instant good karma!


:eager:  Now's the time!  

There's no time like the right time.  Take a closer look at Points now!

P.S. - Groups will be enabled to use Points very soon!  ;)  :groups:

I think that DA should make it easier to get points.

For example: an artist gets a DD, DeviantArt could give said artist a certain amount of points; or when reaching a certain time in DA, some points would be given; or when a deviant is featured as an artist of the month, it gets an amount of points.

Rewarding artists with points would be a good idea, I think.
