I see.
I had him blocked for fouling up my threads with his junk. Guess that's not an issue anymore.
You're still blocked, rich, but I may take you off for your 18th birthday and we'll see how it goes.
Yep I think I get it now. I am liking the policy and a little surprised that it actually happened.
Guy's, we'd better be quiet or big bad Karl will hear us!

Me too.

What topic? The last post was made well over a week ago. I think we just about covered member points and what they are.
Yes indeed

ok we know how we get points now but does anyone know for sure what the benefit of the points are.are there any benifits
huahua like that old old story about the T-shirt:
There used to be a reward for 1000 Member points from erik if you reached that amount however they stopped doing it in around 2007. It was a Chess.com T-Shirt!! You can read more here -http://www.chess.com/forum/view/help-support/how-do-i-get-points
Member Points: Chess.com keeps track of all of your contributions to the site such as comments, blog posts, forum participation, articles, etc. Each contribution counts for points. This helps members know how involved each other are in Chess.com!
some are worth more than others. the kinds of contributions that are more meaningful (articles, etc) are worth more.
at 1,000 points i get you a free t-shirt 
(as long as they are not achieved through spammy methods)
UPDATE => Nov 11 2008 - we do NOT give out free shirts anymore (we did this for a few weeks and stopped in 2007).
Still, AWARDCHESS is a good answer. He's been quiet in recent times though. No self-aggrandizing spamming and weird stalking of pretty faces.
Thats because he has been silenced by the powers that be ! You dont believe he has voluntarily fell silent do ya ?!
I was unaware of any official action.
I remember not so long ago he was posting reams of games in a thread (I forget which one) and he mentioned what's the problem with posting chess games on a chess site? I assumed that he was merely kicking against being warned about his spam habits. I think that thread got deleted in the end lol.
Maybe he's mad? or has been warned? or?
