The messages for Social Activity configuration for a site are misleading, because they imply the same user will get both participation points and contribution points for the same action. However, the content owner gets contribution points, which is often not the same user.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Log in as an administrator
2. Navigate to the site's Configuration -> Social Activity page
3. Check the messages for a specific type of content (e.g., "The user gets ___ participation point(s) and ___ contribution point(s)."
   Expected result: the message indicates the content owner gets the contribution points, not the user doing the various actions
   Actual result: the message incorrectly implies the user doing the action gets both types of points
