I know the points increase by posts...mine have so far & I doubt that it wasn't anything profound..

eh.. a popularity contest... ranks are the worst things to happen to forums. Eventually all people care abut is their status.. many forums I have seen turn to shit because of similar stuff.
Why not stick with rep.. and elite membership.. maybe post count

Besides, its not the size of the bar that matters. It's how you use it.
I never believe that when i hear it.
I have seen the mods take action for abuse of the point system but there is still some lingering residue of the mess it made. The points system here is not intended to be a status. It is more of a review of a persons knowledge and other information when they assist a person in resolving an issue, as an example. It should be treated as such, and only given when deserved and warranted. I dont know if thats how the admin/mods view the rating system but thats how I feel about it. Maybe there should be a detailed explanation of the ratings system somewhere, if there isnt already....I never thought to look myself for something like that until now.

The new system takes many things into account- most of which are totally irrelevant when considering which growers know their stuff, and which ones just post a crapload and are very active. But the rep still seems to be a big part of it, so I dunno. It is a reward for content system- the problem is the content can be very helpful in the growing dept., or totally OT...even completly worthless but it all seems to count.
Maybe I am high and am reading this all wrong

It would be hard, no impossible, for them to merit "value" for each post.
That is why I liked the Rep system as it was, not perfect but working.
I repped people that either set me on the correct path when I have an issue
or show me support in my journal (that is important as well to me)
and it was an excellent way to, as was said, keep track of a persons growing knowledge but...
Some people that really know their shit don't always troll the forums looking to help,
hence not as much rep as a popular person that knows less about growing.
What I expect we will see will be more short posts
and people "chiming in" to gain points for their bar
making it a bit more difficult to "weed" through all that to get to the valuable posts here.

Growers knowing their stuff...is almost a moot point..What some dude does in the forest might sound like crap to an advanced grower, who encounters all sorts of problems that have established remedies...I've heard & seen stuff done to grow plants like sound like utter crap....but worked fine for "joe"....Like myself...I'm no Green Giant, but in 6 years of growing I lost only 1 crop and still managed to re-start and get a good weed. My plants may not be "coma" weed, but for my $ out lay, it's better than the stuff I pay for..and every year I give away about 50% of my plants, and everyone one loves them..* throws out shoulder patting self on back*......I wish I had the place & health to do more...The new system takes many things into account- most of which are totally irrelevant when considering which growers know their stuff, and which ones just post a crapload and are very active.
