Here are the (first) settings for the initial conditions when we initiated the new
Bits system. We will update this table (and perhaps add new activities or substract old ones) from time-to-time based on test results (over time) and user comments.

Note that Admins and Moderators receive more Bits for their activities since they have considerable more experience, cultural knowledge and spend considerable time on the site helping others.
We are considering adding new primary user groups for experienced members, who are not moderators or admins, with higher points than regular members as we move beyond the alpha stage and into beta.
Your comments and questions on
Bits are welcome.
Consider this the "comment phase"
