Articles for rewards points
Do you expect customer's
Do you expect customer's response to be publishes, or technical details to be published.

I have seen in one of the post for the contest, I have been awarded on 250 points instead of 1000. So getting an answer to the above question is imperative.
I still feel that if you say it's a 1000 points, it should be 1000 points.
Customer's experience published
Customers may submit detailed articles or blog entries with a fairly business-focused level of detail on how Symantec has helped them saved money. I hope I'm answering your question here...
Points Awarded
Hello Tejas,
Thanks for your question about having points awarded. In order to be awarded double points for a content type (for example, 1000 points for an article), the submission must meet the guidelines for each content type - an article should be approximately 1500 words or longer, and include examples, screenshots, etc. Once your submission is reviewed, the community manager will award points if it meets the criteria of the contest and content type submitted. Wondering about the difference between an article and a blog post? Check out Leslie's blog entry which describes all of the content types in detail: http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/whats-difference-between-blog-and-article-content-explained
If you think you've posted content in an inappropriate content category (blog, article, forum, etc), you can always delete your original submission and resubmit in the best-suited category.
Hope this helps,
Kimberley
