    I share many of your sentiments, but its not about levels and points, as much as it is about respect and credibility.

    Welcome to the Bag.

    Actually, I can't stand the current points system. It has turned Answerbag into a video game. But I, as you, remain an AB addict.

    Yes, I certainly do share your sentiment about the site as a whole, although I really liked the site better before points, myself.
    Once you get to know the people, the points just kind of fade into the background.

    Welcome to the site, let me the first to wish you good luck here.
    If you stick around and give decent answers, you can go very far here.

    G'day Devo v3.36,

    Thank you for your question.

    I like it as well. The points system works much better and you don't have the system of just having one best answer chosen which means that other worthwhile answers are not fully rewarded. It can also lead to a bad atmosphere.

    Regards

    I too feel exactly the same way. And I am 3 months old in the Answrebag. I have gone through the grind of many other questions & answers sites and I think I have finally settled down with AB. The unique system of the users awarding points and the self monitoring system by the users is certainly unique to AB. And it works. Enjoy it. Welcome to Answerbag.

    I wish AnswerBag used a thumbs up, thumbs down ratings system that showed the exact number of upratings and downratings given to each question and answer. Why does AnswerBag allow people with low + ratings percentages to downrate -4 and -5? That's inviting trouble.

    I am about 72 hours old and new user too, and never going back to that negative messed up glitchy yahoo answers site either, way to many trolls on there too it was sickening.
    This is more enjoyable and addicting!
