Is this one too hard? Should I give a hint?

[Tycho Magnetic Anomaly]

i think so

Morgan LeFlay: 0 points
Tycho Magnetic Anomaly: 20 points

I guess the hint that I will give is that most of the posts follow a certain rule and there are a few outliers. Find the usual rule first, and then figure out why some of the posts are so different.

Another hint: The username itself is not used in point calculations.

I am pretty stumped dude, is it something to do with post number + unique words or letters that a user has said in context to something else they said in a previous post?  Stumpted

[Kitty Trouble]

Tycho Magnetic Anomaly: No. (25 points.)

Further hintage: The minimum score is 0 (though usually 1) and the maximum score is 676.

You will have to look outside of your own post to figure out the solution..

That's a lot of points

[Kitty Trouble]

I think I'll begin giving hints every 24 hours so to not hold up this post on just mine

[Kitty Trouble]

Alright so the hint for today is that the maximum number of points (676) is 26 x 26, which is important. How could the number 26 be related to word puzzles, I wonder..

Sorry, I don't do math

[dayowlron]

Well first off when u mentioned the maximum score was 676 I knew that was 26 x 26 and with 26 letters in the alphabet it would be something related to the alphabet.
Also seeing a lot of scores of 20, 25, then your 156.
20 = 10x2 or 5x4 or 20x1.
25 = 25x1 or 5x5
156 = 12x13 or 26x6.
Assuming you did not mix up the letters and A=1 to Z=26 or the reverse A=26 to Z=1, the easiest one to figure out would be 25. that is either AxY, ZxB, ExE or VxV. hmmmmm.

[Kitty Trouble]

My 156 was actually 130.

[dayowlron]

Oh, ok. well 130 is 13 x 10 or 26 x 5.
