Once points are assessed they will always remain. Originally Posted by SOULMANIKE

If I state why I got my points, will I get more points?

Points? I don't have ANY yet. Would anyone who has an overabundance of points be willing to sell some of theirs? After I buy some, I'm going to recommend that our sig lines display "Points," "Reviews," "Posts," kind of in order of importance and significance.

May want to look into that Ike...I'm fairly sure they drop off after a year.

The group we have now do seem to be more of a live and let live bunch.......that could change.

I have always subscribed to the idea that when you walk up to a hornets nest and wack the fuck out of it, you take your hits like a man.

Take "manpussy" for example. We had a Mod who issued points for the use of the term.........quite silly, actually.

I got pointed for using the term hooktard, not about anyone, but about a thread. But does it really matter? No, it is still a SHMB.

I thought you got a free session for 25 points.

I love you guys....I really do.

Points DO expire. In 6 months. In other words, if you can behave for 6 months....you'll have 0 points.

If you can't behave, your points will likely begin to add up. 25 is the magic number.

Now, if ya think about it, someone's gotta really be pressing the right buttons or pushing the envelope to rack up 25 points in a 6-month timeframe.

Well, yes it happens. What next? 3-month suspension.

3 months is a long time, my friends. It really is. We don't want any of you to be gone for 3 months. Would become a boring place around here. There's not a single one of you I would wish that on......I dig the dynamics of our Houston forums.
--------------------------

One other thing worthy of mention,......these point policies may be slightly different than what some of you had dealt with or become used to on ASPD.

On ASPD, points expired in 12 months and 25 points got you a year away from the board.

Not so on ECCIE. We initially set ours up similarly, but decided on a different structure for penalty and expiration. Why did we change?

Keyword: Membership participation. That's what we're about. We're NOT about member exclusion. That's just the way it is. That said, if there's a chronic problem child or someone that's a danger to others, we have other ways of handling them, it won't be with the point system........which is more of a corrective guidance tool for normal contributing members.....not a method to jack people up with points and throw them off the board. Just FYI.

PS. Farewell auknowho! Best of luck to ya, my friend.
