Hi
I'm new to using this, I made an account years ago but only made to view posts x.x I looked at transaction stuffs of tbt bells and I'm so confused what's going on

That's because you commented, the more you comment, the more bells you get.

What part are you confused about, exactly?

It just does that when you edit a post. Then it recalculates the bells and give them to you in a new amount. You should see an earned near each spent because of this.

Ah, we actually see this question a lot! Jake explained it very well a while back so I'll go ahead and quote him for the sake of convenience.

When you edit a post it recalculates the bells as if it were a new post.

Say you make a post and gain 5 bells. You then decide to edit your post. When you edit your post you will lose all the bells from the post, but once you hit "save" you'll gain the amount for your new post. So if you made your post shorter you'll get less bells, so you'll lose them, but if you made it longer you'll actually gain bells.

TL;DR - it's a recalculation. And you'll lose/gain bells depending on whether you shorten/lengthen your original post.

I know it can be confusing, but rest assured you're not actually losing bells or being penalized.

EDIT: Jeremy you smelly ninja get out of my thread.

when you edit a post that earned forum bells, you earn more bells for the new post, but then the system deducts the bells you earned on the original post. the system calls it spending even tho in reality its a deduction.
