Point Whoring
Great description, eh? Thought of the name myself ;)
What I mean by "point whoring" is the attempt to get as many points as possible on this site, no matter what, even if it means making stupid two word responses. I think it's just ridiculous and kinda defeats the purpose of the point system, that's just my opinion anyways. I've always seen the point system as a way of showing how much you've accomplished on this site, not how many times to you write "nahhhh uu stoopid" or "yehhh ur all a bnch of idits, im rite!"
Just my view anyway, what do you guys think of the point system?

Shortly after joining the site I discounted the point system as next to worthless. Partly because it is so easy to point whore (approve of the term, btw). A large number of points does nothing to indicate your debating competency, but rather your dedication, popularity, or amount of time spent on the site. |
