Points for reporting?

Does any body else here think we should get points for reporting? But it must be a ligit report, not just because we get an answer that does not agree with our point of view. What do you think?

    I'm really not all that concerned about points, but, considering some of the vile, hateful people that troll around here, I'd like to see them suspended a lot more quickly for their nastiness. It's sickening some of the nasty, ignorant bigotry we still see in this day and age.

    I come here to read and share ideas, have fun, and maybe even make some friends....

    Good idea, but then people would report any questions just for the points, even the good ones.

    Yeah i think we should. There's a lot of people in here that spreading hate and we should be able to get points for reporting them.

    I could give an answer if I knew what the value of "points" is...so far, I have not figured out that one...do you have an answer? I tried to use them for airline seating...didn't work. I tried to use them to pay for McDonalds...didn't work. My lawn care guy refused to take them as payment...what good are they, why are so many people so concerned about stupid points???What does it get you to have 10 points or 100,000,000 points? Nothing!

    that sounds like a good idea. But I would add that you should lose points if the person you report does not actually break the rules.

    No points but rather suspension should be what those that report get unless they are reporting serial reporters .

    Seeing that points don't really ever do anything for us I don't see the use!
