Ohferpetessake...the hoops you see are in your own mind only.....

If not into the points then it just saved you a lot of time. You're not excluded from anything that I'm aware of. You're seeing exactly what we all see. You're just not spending extra time point-chasing as many are. And thankfully, you won't spend a single moment cluttering the pages with irrelevant click-bait posts and comments just to crank-up your points. There are lots of others that don't fool with it at all. Your choice. No difference.

The points system exists for a good reason and it's not hard to earn points, interaction is key. Not everyone could or would pay a fee to use this site, so I'm glad it is kept free to use.

Ignore the points, follow the gourd.
I think once you hit level 2 the points don't make a lot of difference, it does deter trolls, so I like it for that.

I really don't understand the point system or its purpose I don't believe I'd want to pay . At least i'm not on face book very much any more enjoy posts .

There's a reason for the points system. It deters scammers and the like.

Sod that. I'd rather earn points than pay. Wouldn't have joined at all otherwise. Also I want the free t-shirt.
