No, your points never expire. Once earned, they're yours to keep. However, if you receive enough downvotes, your total can decrease.
Yes, if your point total drops below the threshold for your current tier (due to downvotes), you'll be moved to the appropriate tier. Focus on quality contributions to maintain and grow your reputation.
The Distinguished tier is manually assigned by administrators to recognize exceptional contributors. This might include long-time community pillars, moderators, or users who have made significant positive impacts. There's no application process - it's awarded based on merit.
Report weight determines how much influence your reports have in the moderation queue. Higher-tier users have demonstrated trustworthiness, so their reports are prioritized. A 2x weight means your report is treated as equivalent to two reports from a Newcomer.
