    Post Points - What is its purpose?

    This isn't really related to the section, but I really couldn't find anywhere else to post this.

    Does anyone know what the point of these "Points" we're gaining by posting are? I am seriously confused, and I feel this might attract the wrath of spammers at the very worst, or even people giving uninformed data towards other players in the forums of their selective games.

    Re: A question.

    Well this is the section to post questions that have not real area to post them. Although somethings are better asked thru emailing UDE with the question. I just noticed the points also and I bet they are for something that will be explained by UDE when the time comes. They love to use the phrase "More information about this will be posted in the near future".

    Honestly, Points makes me think they plan to actually bring in a type of 'shop' into here to help give people reason to join these forums for YGO/WowTCG manners.

    Re: A question.

    On that note, why is it the spam-like posts get more points (I've seen a completely illegible post get 55 points, while a majority of my posts get like 5-20). I've also seen a 5 word post get like 45 points while I write like 50 words and get 10 points.

    Re: A question.

     might be based on how many post you make a day as you post more your points go down

    Based on what I have been able to see...

    You get 5 Points for posting.

    If your post gets replied to, you get an additional 15 Points per reply.

    Lets look at my current post for example.  I will be receiving 5 Points for posting.  Because I replied to your post (Not thread, but individual post) you will get 15 points for this reply.

    I also do not know what the point system will be used for.  Might just be something we can have fun with that will have no impact outside of having fun.  I hope it does not promote spamming though.

    Ironically, that theory was quite stable...

    Now we just gotta find out what it's for. I'd love if they began selling packs per say 2k Points :D.

    Oh alex how cruel you are.  Throwing points at us rule shark trolls and getting our hopes up.

    Edit: wait a minute! he said CURRENTLY there are no plans

    perhaps secret plans in the future that you have yet to tell us about?

    Well it was/is interesting. I could see some fun uses for this... just hope it doesn't create a bunch of unnecessary posting.

    So if you want to rack up some awsome points all you need to do is quote alot of people?  WOW that will make for interesting long and redundant posts. lol
