Spring/Summer 2013: Leader Board and Completed Tasks
Mod
Claiming your points should look something like this:
Just finished "This Book" for "this task" for x points.
New Total: x points
BEFORE YOU POST READ THIS:
Please check the leaderboard before you make your FIRST post claiming points to make sure nobody has your name. If somebody does have your name, please put your last initial or something to distinguish yourself. You don't have to change your name for GR but rather every time you post, in addition to your points and all that jazz, put the name that you would like on the leaderboard. Please do this every time you post. We get triples and doubles of SO many names. It took so long to figure out who the heck was who.
Also, please wait until you have finished the WHOLE task before you post it. A lot of people were just posting one book for a 2 book task a month before the other one and then not reposting that book when they actually finished the book.
