Originally posted by stumpyMy point is, there are some flaws in the system...it caters to bulk posters and not to quality posters. Hopefully this topic can avoid the trash bin for at least a couple more minutes than the last one.

I prefer to earn my points by posting rather then acquiring them through others posts. I have only made one topic on this site and it was not well received, only got 5 responses. However my points are very close to yours FULCRUM. I have heard you brag about your points many times so let me remind you of one thing that Gandhi once said: "It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err." Not trying to fight ya just giving you something to think about.

Well the points do the talking..
Those get points that post intressing topics that other people also like..
I rest my case to my points..

I'll back stumpy on the value of what he brings to the Forums - and that there are some idiotic posts all over the place.
Until there is action taken to castigate and punish the nonsense and filler that we all make sometimes, it will continue to get put up, and increasingly so in the 'higher value' Forums. That is simple operant conditioning, intermittent reinforcement at work, it works just as well on lab rats. Until there is a punishment to go with it - either an electric shock through the mouse, or 1000 points lost for inanity in a serious Forum, or even the old Warnings, it will be open game!

Brag? :F I have done no such thing..
And any ways i have posted Myself over 600 messages, and if my banned figure is counted well over 1100..
And also with FULCRUM i have spend around 5000 points at the store..
But lets keep it real:
Points doesnt matter what matter what one learns/or teaches to others here.. thats what matters.
And anyhow, im just supriced by myself as have this many points.. in such shot time..
That is the reason i have mentioned them.. Nothing more to it..
