I made some changes to the point system.

First of all, there was a problem in the way we were storing the point history for user ratings. When a user was rated, the point change would be stored correctly...however, we keep track of point changes through time so that we can regenerate people's points in case of error. Anyway, long story short, there was a glitch causing your level not to serve as a multiplier when first rating someone.

Also, we have decided to reward users with +1 point for each user/mixtape rated, this should encourage people to partake in the ratings.

Additionally, we have increased the mixtape rewards to net you +50 points for each level your mixtape reaches (this was previously +25)

Finally, you will get +25 points for each badge you unlock on the site.

We're hoping that some of these changes should make it a little easier to go up in the first few levels, and as we all know, things will get a lot more interesting when everyone is at higher levels!

All of your mix and profile ratings have been reset, so go back and rerate! (artist/album/track ratings are fine)
