Point System Fixes

I think there are a few places where the point system doesn't make sense.

For example, why is it -1 for replies in the How To section? I think people post How To's to help people, but if people run into trouble, they can't ask questions unless they want to loose points. I think people should be able to ask questions so the writers of the How-To can help out further.

There are a few other places that dose not make sense. Anyone one else want to share one?

I think now registrered members can't post in the how to section.. so their is no problem..

i think it is better to block all excpet admins to post replies in how to and remove that -1 from forum description..

I agree; that is stupid. Maybe just make it 0, however only allow questions to be asked, not anything like: "Great how to!".

Any reply made in the 'How To' section costs 1 point. I think that does make sense coz the one who posts will be either the one who has a question or the one who wants to help.

The one who asks a question deserves to shell out atleast 1 point to clarify his/her question.

The one who helps out is usually the author, and as a necesarry condition of the 'How To' section, it is the duty of the author of that topic to help all those who have doubts.

Registered members can post in the 'How To' section.

Ok, I change my opinion after reading this explanation. The point system seems to be fine now.
