There is a thread or two in the site discussion forum where I have explained the reasoning behind the PQ points system.
The other option is ti get rid of the green dots and the points so that people aren't too focussed on it.
A quick history (again):
1. People were just signing up to sell things and not contributing to the forum / helping others out
2. We then put a post count restriction. This resulted in people just posting to get their post count up (ie with silly replies)
3. We then introduced a post count and time restriction. This still didn't address the problem of people not contributing / helping others out
4. Hence why the PQ points system was brought in. It basically meant that you had to be a member for a short period of time AND help another user out in return for being able to buy / sell. A small 'price' to pay given that the For sale forum is only for private use.
u call me young and immatureQuote:

simple

But the bottomline is that people give rep for help that solves their problem and not because you know good info.Quote:

I don't do it for the points, I do it because I know the frustration of working in the blind without any help. Just like how I don't like working without basic info or guides, I try to help so that others are not in the same situation.
In fact, it should be called Helpful Points instead of PQ points. :)
This may be the case - however I can show you a dozen examples where you intentionally provoke and belittle people (me in a few cases) by twisting their words or insinuating a different meaning to what was intended.Quote:

BTW Evan and others , make points but keep the spam out.
i feel bad, i have been on here for nearly 2 years and still have tiny green bar.. damnit.. people ask my Q's i can help you with :p
I likes the system.. but seems not much Repping happens any more :s or maybe I just suck
True, Ive noticed repping has gone down hill lately as well. I havent received any from Mods for a while, only the occasional user - most of them with no rep points to give :pQuote:
