What's the point of giving points away?

Do We get a cookie?

Happiness in the receiving end :)

most secretly likes points, even if they don't admit it.

Re: What's the point of giving points away?

I love points, but what's the point? I'd rather have a cookie.

Re: What's the point of giving points away?

exaxtly, especially when its too easy to accumulate points  with one line comments.   I mean I went up a level after only 2 or  3 comments.

I would think it would be more benificial to work on things like getting spell check working, edit posts, reply to specific posts. etc which have greater value than points given easily.

I really like my privacy, its nothing personal against anyone here. especially in light of having accounts locked on sodahead.

I would rather have karma than points but even that is pointless IMO.

Re: What's the point of giving points away?

the levels are too close together and and umm... i don't think we need points period but the Mod has it set up like sodahead so its all good..

i wish replies to opnions wouldn't look like regular posts. and i wish we had notifications on here (i did subsribe to the section but i kept getting emails from other users who awnser in the catagory)

i wish we had a like button.

this site is still far form perfect but it has potential to be the next sodahead-like site.

After detesting the whole points scam on SH, which led, IMO, to a host of mediocre question and discussion, I welcome the opposite, and in fact am making it a point to get rid of every one of my points.  As you can see, some things never go away and we have people racing on to nowhere once again.

Not me

Do you get points for giving away points?        

Re: What's the point of giving points away?

Just to spur people to generate silly polls one ritht after another, for no other reason than to amass points.
