How do influence points work on RallyPoint?

In your opinion, should rally point let people get more influence points if they log daily and do some activities on the website?

If you get Influence Points for interacting whether it is building your profile. endorsing others, creating and responding to discussions, etc.

Daily activity can create more pts than viewing once in awhile.

Basically they reward for participating in discussions, which increase content (hopefully good).

It does! The more you participate the more points you get. Are you really just on here for points?

Everyone should get .1% of their Influence Points as promotion points.

So now that your influence score goes up every time someone views your profile, I want to take the time to clarify why it is I have viewed your profile.
And as always, I am just being honest :)

1. I want to know your credentials
2. I forget what your credentials are after 7 seconds and need to refresh my memory
3. I think you're hot
4. You're a woman who looks prettier than me
5. Anyone who is Special Forces...just because I look at your assignments and picture you being all Rambo and well...that's just fun for me.

In order for RallyPoint to continue to be a useful tool to everyone, we need to have active members on the site. So yeah, as a daily user, I don't see anything wrong with getting more points for my commenting, liking, viewing, and other actions done on this site. But again, this site is not some place to race for first place. It isn't about the points, it's about helping each other and staying connecting and building your network. You are just rewarded in the form of points for the positive things you do on site.

I've only been doing this for a couple of months and I'm already in the top one percent. Works for me!
