What the ****ens are the Points for that appear under people's avatars (under the number of posts they've made)? Do we trade them in for valuable cash prizes or baked goods? (mmm, brownies...)

I have to admit, I've been wondering that too. Especially since mine seem to rapidly be decreasing. (I think perhaps I oughtn't have made all those **** jokes.)

I'm glad you asked -- I have no idea; I am actually looking at how one turns them off. I realy should look into that.

I seem to be losing them at a great rate of knots. I am guessing they are worked out depending on everyone elses points or something like that. Maybe I should read the documentation?

I did wonder quite what they meant, but assumed that they were part and parcel of the forum software. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason as to why anyone should have points in minus figures (and some do). Have they been naughty??? :d/

Not looking good for me on this front, is it?

There must be a way I can pad my own. Maybe that is what I need to do, just so I don't look so pathetic when it comes to the points situation.

I reckon the points are for good behaviour - 3 when you post, and points are removed if you say naughty words that engage the censor.

Even pointless comments receive points now.
