What is shown on the Ciao Member Statistics
Page?
The Ciao Member Statistics Page is a record of all of the actions
that you have performed on Ciao for which you have earned Community
Points. Included in these actions are writing reviews and comments,
rating other members' reviews, receiving reads and ratings for your
own reviews from other members, and inviting new members to join Ciao.
The number of points awarded for each activity varies and you can
see how the points are calculated on the "Statistics" page.
What purpose do such statistics serve?
Your member statistics allow you to gauge how helpful your contributions
to the Ciao community are to other members: the higher the number
of points you have earned, the more helpful your input. They also
allow you to see a more detailed record of your actions on Ciao than
you can find in your Account.
