Of course it is. +5

I don't see how it could be. There's no finish line, no trophies or monetary gain and once you get to where you can award six points, there is no real value in raising your level.

That depends how you wish to look at it. And of course how it is done. If I simply went to your Q and A and just up-rated your answers without reading them and judging for myself if they should of been up rated to begin with. that would be wrong and dishonest. Now If I read your answers and thought they were worth up-rating and I went ahead and up-rated those that were deserving then how could that be wrong? I have noticed many people answer with great answers with little to no reward and many times their answers are ignored and pushed aside. We simply do not reward all the great post that should have been rewarded. I see nothing wrong giving credit where credit is due. Just today I found a great answer that should have been up-rated and placed to the top but instead was down-rated -20. I could only give them +6 up-rate which still remained -14 which in my book is dishonest and wrong. If doing what I do is wrong I guess I am the worst member here but I am the proudest worst member.

Why? I miss so many of the questions my AB friends have submitted. I feel it is the least a friend can do is to go through another friend's questions and try to answer them. And many of my friends have answered hundreds of questions and received no points or acknowledgement for their efforts. Why do so many people ask questions without replying or awarding points?

It can't be unless you only do it to one person.
