If you want to decrease your points just ask a question and offer them as a valuable prize for the answer you seek.

If your points have decreased without asking any questions, I would contact TechRepublic Support and find out what's going on.

For details on Tech Points, click on help at the top of the TR page, and then click on the TechPoints link.

Hi,

As far as I'm aware the only reason they decrease is when you ask questions and allocate some of your points towards them.

You gain points as per the TechRepublic's page...

I believe TechRepublic is planning to introduce some sort of scheme whereby you can "spend" your techrep points to get discounts on products they offer.

This hasn't been implemented yet. There is more information on this in the FAQ section re: Tech Q&A.

Cheers,
Tim.

Hi! You can increase your points by answering someone's tech problem and decrease your points by asking for help from others. Also, check out other peoples answers to tech problems to learn a lot more than you will from a book.
