One brownie would be added for every given time period (15 minutes?) that the user spends actively working on a waypoint/challenge.  \r\n\r\nHowever, if we're going to be granting points for time on site, we need to scale the points of other activities to give them the appropriate weight.  \r\n\r\nNote:  we should do some due diligence to ensure that actual \"activity\" is occurring, we shouldn't stress too much over it.  Brownie Points are a simple incentive and, ultimately, not \"worth\" anything.\r\n\r\n### Proposed values\r\n\r\nActivity | Points\r\n------------ | -------------\r\nActive Time on Site (Per Unit) | 1\r\nWaypoint | 1\r\nCamper News Upvote | 1\r\nThanks on Chatroom | 5\r\nBonfire | 15\r\nZipline | 50\r\nBasejump | 150\r\n\r\nThese are very rough values and open to debate.\r\n\r\n### Transition\r\nUsers will keep all points they have already received.  We will re-reward all points at the new level on top of existing points.  This will reward people for the activities they have already completed, while setting the overall scale properly for points generally."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/issues/comments/161769450","html_url":"https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/issues/4676#issuecomment-161769450","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/issues/4676","id":161769450,"user":{"login":"Narshe1412","id":15770711,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/15770711?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Narshe1412","html_url":"https://github.com/Narshe1412","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Narshe1412/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Narshe1412/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Narshe1412/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Narshe1412/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Narshe1412/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Narshe1412/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Narshe1412/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Narshe1412/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Narshe1412/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-03T20:11:40Z","updated_at":"2015-12-03T20:11:40Z","body":"You are right. Unfortunately I haven't reached Ziplines yet to see how time consuming are. I do however consider that engaging with the community should be rewarding, somehow. It's very nice for when you need to have a break and just have some chit chat :)"}}
