In about 10 days we are going to do a points audit on the site. Every time someone makes a comment, post, etc. they receive points for it. It's recorded in a log.
I know, from casual inspection, that some people have far more points than their available # of comments and articles could possibly warrant.
Now I have a confession to make, I've been very competitive in my life and I've played the system my share of times. I haven't done so here since I'm the #1 user because I know the easiest way to get lots of points -- get other sites to link to what I write which brings lots of readers. I have many articles with over 50,000 points for instance that have only a couple of comments. All because people came here to read them.
But many others have taken other routes that we're aware of to get their points up. That's going to come to an end soon as all scores will be recalculated based on what is actually present on JU.
