Searchwarp is a community, a place where you want to become a part and belong. Participation is encouraged as in any community. I have outlined the seven easy steps to promote community interaction.
When you are logged in at Searchwarp.com, click the Control Panel then click the underscored "Your Community Interaction" which will then take you to the Community Interaction Score Calculation. To accumulate points you will have to do the following:
COMMENTS: Leave comments right after reading an article or when you read articles through the Reader's Club. Read the suggested Reader's Club article, you earn two points when you submit comments of up to ten words. You will not earn any points if you opt to skip. (Remember the "Be Nice" rule when leaving comments, mean and irrelevant comments will be removed by the editors.)
WELCOME NEW AUTHORS: Under the heading "Interesting Stuff" at the right hand side of the home page, click New Authors! Read their articles and leave comments, welcome them to the Searchwarp community, the more authors you welcome, the more points you will earn.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS: Click Control Panel. Click the black Q & A icon at the lower left-hand corner. This page tells you your current Q & A points, the number of questions and answers you posted. You can also enter your new question here. Please note that when you post your question your picture will appear in the homepage. You will see the drop down list of categories, question types, status, points offered. You can post as many answers here and earn as many points by clicking each questions and answering them..
BIRTHDAY WISHES FOR SW MEMBERS: Under the "Interesting Stuff" column, right hand-side of the home page, click "Upcoming Birthdays" Scroll down and type your birthday wishes in the white box at the very bottom of the page. If you do not see the box where you can enter your wishes, visit it again until the box is available. Remember to add your birthday here, so that members can post birthday wishes to you. The wishes are posted weeks in advance and will be emailed to each celebrant on his/her birthday. You earn points here, too.
FAN CLUB: You can earn a maximum of 100 points here when you join the fan club of your favorite writers. Click the red heart symbol right below the writer's name and you will become a member of the author's fan club. There is no limit to the number of fan clubs you will want to join. In the "Community Interaction" page you will also see the total number of fan clubs of which you are a member.
YOUR PROFILE PICTURE: Upload your profile picture and you will earn 20 points.
RESPONSES TO COMMENTS: When you post an article and readers leave their comments, it is good etiquette to respond to their comments. A number (with a minus sign) will show up in the Community Interaction Scoreboard if you have not responded to their comments. For example, there are six comments that you have not responded, it will show -6. Once you posted your responses, that number will disappear and 6 points will then be added to your score. Responses to Comments Needed will appear as 0.
The first 100 members with the highest interaction score are listed in the Searchwarp Writers' Community Interaction Hall of Fame. At homepage, at the right-hand side under the caption of "Interesting Stuff" click the 19 th item, Community Hall of Fame and you will see a list of members who are actively involved in the community. You can also view your community interaction calculation in this page.
I hope this article is helpful to you. I am very thankful that I am a member of this community. More power to the Searchwarp editors and staff!

"FAN CLUB: You can earn a maximum of 100 points here when you join the fan club of your favorite writers. Click the red heart symbol right below the writer's name and you will become a member of the author's fan club. There is no limit to the number of fan clubs you will want to join.

Even though I don't have a lot of time to interact at Searchwarp these days and have already joined a lot of writers' fan clubs, I put it to the test and joined a couple more that I actually wanted to join....it's a notta with no points or, at least, for me!!! Write on! Suzy
Hi Suzy. Thank you so much for your kind words and for your encouragement. I appreciated your stopping by, reading and commenting.
The number of fan clubs you joined in is the number of points shown in your Community Interaction Calculation under "Writers You are A Fan of" For example you joined 85 fan clubs, in your Community Interaction of Suzy, 6th item down (Writer's You are a Fan of) you will see the number 85, those are the points that you earned. If you have joined 105 fan clubs, you can only be credited for 100 points, 100 is the maximum points you can earn. The Community Interaction Score is not part of your popularity rating, the number in parenthesis next to your name.. Please let me know if I this explained it.
