Can anyone tell me what points are for? Can you do any thing with them? Do you have to earn a certain amount of points to do any thing with them? Someone please help me!!!

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!

The member points are not redeemable for anything. They are just a fun statistic to show member activity within the Chess.com community.

They don't do anything. They are just so that people can see how active you are in the chess.com community.

 Really? I didn't know that!

That's because it's not true.

They really don't mean anything, but they should (in conjunction with a post rating mechanism so that we could all rate bss10506's and diu7's posts zero in order to negate their points).

 I agree with the idea of a method of rating posts, so instead of getting a point for each post, you get a different amount depending on the rating.

You seem to be making full use of that feature, don't you?

A post rating system is needed and it is needed ASAP.

They could do a mini-badge system like boardgamegeek.  Over there, points can buy little badges under your avatar.  The badges are designed by users.  Maybe there could be badges for prefered openings, pics of favorite gms, scholastic chess players, people who drink while playing, etc.

Why do the moderators put up with all the rubbish crap that is being posted here?
