a level back?

no...i jumped a level forwards

wow I didn't even know there was a level 16. Most people skip it so your moderation made you not skip it.

yh, i suppose

I still don't know what these "points" are supposed to do...

points=percentage i believe

you lucked out that you got modded when you were at the glitch levels 16-19. Level 20 is a real hard one to level up taking months.

Here is something I found on the newbie forum
The Level 16 - 20 Glitch:
Once you get to around level 16, it is possible to jump up an entire level and some points. It has been recorded that users will go from level 16 - 17 or 17 -18 or even 18 - 19 in one day. These jumps in levels are common and are usually preparing you for the level 20 glitch. Once you reach level 20 you usually gain a maximum of 2% points per day. It is not uncommon for a user to take up to 3 months or more just to get through level 20. The number of points gained returns to normal once you have passed level 20. Here is the link for the percentages and leveling up.
