Itembuildr does not affect buildr score.

The calculation for score goes like this:

There are three variables: submissions, submissions that get accepted into the forum, and submissions that get -5’d without any upvotes.

If you submit anything and it isn’t downvoted to -5 without receiving upvotes, you get +1 score for the week.

If you get even 1 submission into the forum and nothing gets -5’d with no upvotes, you get +2.

In order to lose score you must have at least one more -5 with no votes than you do submissions that get in.
