The points propel you up the "levels" of this board. And there's a good side effect of being a high level AB member: the points you give to or take from other people weigh more and more as you "level up". The -6 points given to you by six stupid trolls could be effectively erased by a high-ranking AB member once he clicks the "helpful" button to your favor.

Why are some people all hyped up over the 'points' on here? Am I missing out? Is there cash money for higher levels?

Have I single-handedly lowered the "Leaderboard" bar now that Bornabrit is gone? C'mon 40 answers?

When will AB update its point system? A "like" can be misleading to people who aren't familiar with the site. How about "helpful"?

OK, I still don't get this exactly. When I see a question or answer, I'm seeing the total number of points it's already gotten from other members, right? So I can add more points to that total or I can deduct points from that total? I understand that points are worth more the higher you are on the expertise chain, but what's a typical amount of points someone might give for an answer they find helpful? 5? 25? 100? The same for rating a question. If I'm a beginner (which I am), and I think a question or answer is good, how many points, say, equals an "A" (really excellent answer); how many equals a "B" (good answer), etc.?
