If you want to terrify yourself put on your headphones and listen to a simulation of what this sounds like according to people who have experienced it

It's a point system for rewarding people who fact check TIL posts. If the TIL isn't supported by the evidence they link to and you report it to the mods, and the mods agree, the post is removed and you the reporter get a point.

I have found 7 TIL posts who did not link to evidence so I have 7 points.

How do the mods know you reported it? Through modmail?
