If there wasn't the incentive of +5 points, would you still report duplicate questions and spam answers?

Yes. The site deserves to be kept in order. We need all our members to help the staff in their duties. Points shouldn't come into the equation
-
Yes, even if only because quite a few of the duplicates I see are duplicates of my own questions, so I know what it's like to see someone getting the credit for a question that *You* thought of a long time ago, very frustrating. And spam answers are just plain annoying. I couldn't care less about the points, I just don't like seeing frivolous Q&A.
-
I probably would. I don't do it much, except for blatantly duplicate questions.
-
Yep,I hate those kinda answers and questions.
-
Yes, It makes it less confusing if there aren't duplicates. Neat and tidy and easier to use. People looking for answers can fuind them in one spot and people responding won't have to do it twice.
-
Yes. We don't need points and we should lend a hand to a website that benefits.
-
No. I don't really see it as relevent that a question was asked 6 weeks or months ago. It gives newer arrivals a chance for their answers to be read. What point is there in answering a question that already has 89 answers or so as since your answer has 0 points it will go to the bottom and never be read. Frankly I don't see how it would be possible to ask a question that hasn't been asked before.
