question about the forums.

Tell me about the points system here. How do you give them, and how do you receive them? If a large amount is accumulated do you get a prize or is it more bragging rights? I don't post much but I do see people giving points out to members posts.

Thank you.

I'm just learning about the points system myself. I have been gone a few years & back then we didn't use them much. Now it's a big part of the forum. You give points by clicking on the green thumbs up at the bottom of a post. You receive points when someone clicks on the thumb on your post. Etiquette says that it's good to thank those who give you points. No prizes! No bragging rights either. Just knowing that your post or thread was helpful or worthy of a point is what it's all about.

Just a " Pat on the Back " from members. They don't mean much other than to the individual. There is no way to give any Prize as the longer you are here the more points you have likely accumulated. Not to mention a couple of guys could agree to give points to each other to run up their numbers...JJ

Thank you.

As the others have said they are a type of award to the person receiving them, for posting good info or some tips recipes any thing that you like in a post.To give a point just click on the thumbs up

It a great way of showing appreciation to fellow members and gives one some self pride to know someone though it was good job.
