"Every ten minutes, an adjustment happens to every user’s points based on how many points that user has. This formula brings a user’s points back to the equilibrium (1,000) at a rate of half every six hours. Think of this as a six-hour half-life. If the user is below 1,000, the process gives them some points, and it takes those from the users who are above 1,000."
