Off-topic discussions: Is RP subject to abuse by members padding their point totals with daily off-the-wall and irrelevant questions?

I guess my response would be, "who freaking cares". It is not as if you can take said points and purchase something with them. Believe it or not, I don't have a clue how many points I (or anyone for that matter) has. If I find topics that I feel are "irrelevant", well I just scroll right by without a second thought. Another thought, are you offsetting all of the "irrelevant questions" with relevant ones?

I think this might go with a little bit of community self regulation. People can post whatever they want, but if the community isn't interested, it will quickly we overshadowed and buried by topics that the community actually is engaging in.
If points are your goal, there are better ways. Sure posting a topic might be a quick 15 points, but posting stuff the community actually wants to discuss will get you far more points in replies, upvotes, badges and tags.

That may be true but some are simply nothing but inflammatory discussions that will get points for being so critical of something and some will come to the defense. They are picking a fight for points it seems at times.

Like should people on perm profiles be kicked out thread? I think he still holds the record for most down votes.

SGT Jinger Jarrett you have a good point. Possibly the leaders could create areas
Like Veterans In sports, Veteran assistance, claim help, job service, a military trivia area, etc.,....
A member could note where they wanted their comment. Like you’re about Veteran assistance, so you want your comment there..

SSgt Boyd Herrst - I had forgotten about this thread. I'm not sure what my thoughts were at the time.
