## 🎲 Why do I need points?

The main purpose of RaidSharksBot is to increase user´s engagement and give group owners and admins valuable information about their ongoing raids. By gamifying the raid people get engaged to participate.

That said, we need to measure how intensive a user participates in ongoing raids.

The way we do that is an integrated point distribution mechanism which gives people points for every interaction with an ongoing raid.

{% hint style="danger" %}
RaidSharksBot does NOT count interactions done by Shadow Banned Accounts. That´s done on purpose, cause those Users won´t positively affect the range of your tweet.

## 💪 What is the main purpose of having a leaderboard?

A leaderboard gives admins and group owners the possibility to gain information about who supports their project best.

{% hint style="success" %}
Raiding becomes very effective if you use the integrated Leaderboard to reward your best raiders.
