The new scoring is live. Every September post has been scored under it, and the board and this month’s rewards now use it. Below is how the top 25 changed, with the reason for each.
Many of you said the board was filling up with AI-written posts. The old scoring rewarded clean writing and good structure. A tool can produce both in seconds from a Somnia announcement, so those posts scored as well as real work.
The judge reads what Somnia’s official accounts posted before your post, then scores your post on what it adds beyond that. A reply is judged against the post it answers too.
It is not AI detection. Nobody is accused of anything. It stops giving credit for the part a tool can do for you.
Rewording or summarising an announcement scores low, however polished. An image adds to your score only when your words add something too.
Most totals went down because the new scoring is stricter overall, by about 17% across the board. So the minimum to qualify moved from 10 to 8 REP to match, and the same people qualify as before. The pool is shared, so what matters is your place, not the size of your total. How far a total moved depends on which posts were rated lower. "Why" is the judge’s own words on that Guardian’s biggest drop.

| 20 | 19 | ▲ 1 | @trong_hatachi | 99 | 85 | -14% | 19 / 39 | 6 | The addition of ecosystem metrics (dreamDEX volume, Prophecy users, product names) is thin, all already in official posts. |
