I really believe their are vision challenged players at the tables sometimes.

I know we get a whole 5 points for posting in the forums, but could people at least keep the conversations relevant? I assume the point of giving us points to post is to try to build a community in these forums and build it up so as to kick start actual conversations.

So when you post some vague and random comment to a post, especially when you are digging up an old post from 2 months ago (I've seen much older post dug up for nothing as well), it just clutters the forums and does the exact opposite of what was intended. Instead of fostering growth and conversation it is a series of unrelated comments that no one can follow, and no one wants to read or respond to. Also, digging up old threads that aren't relevant bumps the relevant threads off of the front pages of the forum.

I'm sure this is falling on deaf ears especially since no one wants to read a thread full of nonsense, but I think paying people points just to post a 30 character comment is a mistake. I understand wanting to build up the forum but it makes the threads a joke. If we are going to reward people to make post then they need to be rewarded based on the quality of the content. Maybe you get a point for every 5 page views when you create a thread, or maybe we implement a "Thank you" system like I've seen in other forums where you can click on a comment that was helpful and each user gets tracked on how helpful they are. This way it promoted people being helpful instead of hateful.
