A: Sparkles are made-up points. They have no exchange value and can't be used for anything. Think of them as Kudos, something nice to receive but has no intrinsic value.Q: How many points can a user give out? Is there a max value of points a user can earn?
A: Unlimited! And there is no max value. Q: When do Sparkles reset?
A: Sparkles do not expire.Q: What is the point of all of this?
A: Glad you asked! Praising is a big part of culture. We are often encouraged to praise our colleagues, and sometimes we even make the time to write a long message in the #praise channel. So think of Sparkles as micro-praising. A way to publicly praise someone and award them right on the spot. Users are inspired to accumulate Sparkles and be proud of them. You've earned them, you deserve them!
