I somehow got a sad smiley next to my name in the leaderboard. Does that affect the grade? How do I get rid of that?

that must be written in the course rules somewhere. If not you could try and email the professor...watch out the language next time!

"To encourage socialization, there are some incentives for the involvement in the official Q2A forum of the course. Any activity in the forum is worth some points: asking questions, giving answers, voting and receiving votes, receiving the “best answer” mark from the asking user or the teachers. At the end of the course, there will be a ranking of the forum users. Those in the top ⅓ of the ranking will receive a bonus up to +3 points to the final exam grade."

Thats what i read so far... that doesnt sound like it matters more to lose points from moderators, right?

Yeah there's nothing about it, but I think Q2A is seen as a place where you ask questions to the professors remotely

When talking to a professor irl you normally can't use this kind of language (and even teachers mostly refrain from using it), so it makes sense you can't use it here

But I guess it won't worsen your mark, everybody makes mistakes, maybe you should talk to a professor when you get the chance!

@siriasannino I'm sorry but you did not understand the true nature of this forum.

Sometimes the moderator/teacher dislikes profoundly an answer or a question and downvotes it.
This reduces the number of points collected.

Last year, apart from posts with swearing, pasted code or forum spam, I finished my patience and started downvoting also incorrectly categorized questions.

@simone please leave the downvotes as they are
