Okay. So loads of people on this site are going around begging for points. Which is fine if thats how they'd like to waste their time, but really, this website isn't really supposed to about gaining points is it??
Its not like the amount of points are that important, they mean absolutely nothing outside Livewire. And i really don't care about them at all. Am i more likely to respect someones views and opinions if they have more points or a higher rank than anyone else.. No! Its doesnt matter. At All!!
It just makes me kinda infuriated. But i don't really expect any of you to agree, because I'm sure a few of you just clicked this topic becuse it said 'Points' and you thought you could get some free points. (You can't. That would really go against the whole idea of this little rant.)
Thats All.

Because that way newbies and trolls can be more easily pointed out, and therefor disregarded. Also, some people would like to get to the top and customise their title.

I don't look at other people's post and go "oh they aren't blue bar + they don't matter." So it's not important to me in that sense, but it is addicting to see how high up I can get. I enjoy the points.

I think points are good. If you care about points, you will keep posting so it keeps LW alive. With the rules, it kinda forces you to make your posts relevant to the topic.
