Why not just disable it?

Here are some stats from 'another' popular site..

Total member accounts: 146,225
Members who have posted: 75,592
Percentage of members who have posted: 51 %
Number of members with 20 or fewer posts: 61,931
Number of members with 20 to 100 posts: 7,521
Number of members with 100 to 500 posts: 4,072
Number of members with 500 to 1,000 posts: 889
Number of members with 1,000 to 5,000 posts: 757
Number of members with 5,000 to 10,000 posts: 76
Number of members with more than 10,000 posts: 38

Now while there are some that post simply to get their numbers up... the stats also show who the main contributors are


Your right ZAP the stats... award for content quality not quantity



Unless your points get you a free coffee mug
