Just always wondered why aren't replies valued more? Anyone can just click the like button. I'm more excited when I get someone to engage in conversation.

Because the founders of this site didn't have their rational thinking caps on. Truth be told, the points system is the singlemost negative element of RP.

While I do have a fair amount of points, I never hunt them. I'm not a huge fan of points, though I wouldn't do away with them, but a reshuffling of point values might be good. Points are an engagement tool used to get people involved because it is a motivator. I think--in general--you get more thoughtful and valuable engagement with conversation than a simple thumbs up/thumbs down.

A fair question. It would perhaps engage more people in a conversation rather than enable point hunting I think. Perhaps there's a method behind the madness. Admins, any input here?
