Does anyone get the feeling some post just for the points?

I love reading the posts on here. I really do. But other times my email/phone starts blowing up with posts that make me scratch my head and say why. I do believe some will post just for the sake of buildng up those points.

Lind of what I'm doing right now.

Yes, many people do that here. I believe everyone does it sometimes, though. It's the same with tagging someone. However, in another way, it does encourage people to continue a conversation and many times contribute with relevant information from personal experience and/or newfound facts and resources.

There are quite a few who seem to. There are also people who seem to be on EVERY thread for some reason...as if everything posted has the utmost meaning in their lives. Sometimes I wonder what else they do. Of course my responding to this could be seen as this, just as your posting can, but I most recently saw the awards for the most influential person of the month. If people weren't doing it strictly for the points before, they might now. That's a pretty cool bottle opener. I may find myself creating memes and spending all day asking what color their favorite unit coin is.

I cannot answer with absolute certainty about others engaging in this practice, but I can confirm that I DO!

Occasionally I also manage to insert something of meaning, use, or even helpful into the conversation too.

Every blog site allows people to comment on a wide variety of topics and to place their two cents in the ring, Rally Point is no different.
