You'll find this information just below your avatar picture in the membership sidebar of the main pages. A few people have asked where they can find it, though, so perhaps I need to move it at a later date to somewhere a little clearer...

When your previous actions relate to forum/gallery posts, then YES, all previous participation is recognized. The credits system simply reads the vbulletin posts score. Unfortunately this does not extend to webindex votes, which require a new logging field, and are therefore only counted since the system was put into place.

There are no set limits, but I'd say that at least 3-4 steps makes a good tutorial. Its mainly about quality as opposed to quantity. The reputation bonus that you get is directly relational to the overall usefulness of your work. I'll correct spelling and grammar mistakes, so don't worry about that. As a general rule, a translation will earn you 5 rep points, a simple 1 page tutorial will get you 10 points, a multi-page masterpiece 30 points... and it goes from there. I also offer out reputation bonuses from time to time for the winners of various design competitions, etc.
