Quality Post Score Clarrification?

What prompted that stat was @Dynamo's goal to get rid of spam posts that are made by members on the last day of the month in a race to make their 20 posts.  There were a few members who were making all of their posts on almost the last day, in quick succession to the equivalent of one-liner spam posts.  Dynamo and the staff then decided to limit the number of posts a member can make to 4 posts per day. Some members complained and he then went to considerable effort to find a way whereby quality posters would not be impacted. Where the quality stat comes in, if one has reached past 3 quality points and the points turn green, then all posts that are made in excess of the four quality posts get added.  This way @Dynamo wants to ensure quality contributors don't get penalized at the expense of the target group with low quality posts whose posts have been marked for cut off at 4 posts.

You can read more about this in Dynamo's Announcement about the Quality Points and his post:

Yup! Thanks! I already read that thread and it didn't quite spell out what *exactly* the numbers reference.

At the end of the day, it's pretty much a moot point. I'm not much for one-liners and I'm able to be a pretty prolific poster. Of course, my ego insists that all my posts are awesome! ;-)

I think I have finally decided what to do with my VPS, when I get one. I'm going to work on developing one of the Reddit clone scripts and see what I can do with it. It will just be for development/fun. I don't think any of the VPS offerings really offer enough to make it truly public facing.

Seeing as I'm here, can I ask you a question?

When it says they want a backlink to the various sites, where am I supposed to put those - if there's no public facing website on the VPS? I see quite a few people put them in their signature. Is that the expected behavior? (Thanks and I realize it's an off-topic question, but I'm pretty curious.)
