What reasonable changes would you like to see in the Rewards-Points system?

To quote an Admin in an earlier post.

'There's more information on changes to the Reward Points system coming later in the year. Just a few more things to finalise...!'

I would like to see Reward Points given not only for a reply to a question and, for asking one.

Reward points should be given for posting in the shared works section, a reply to a shared work and a reply in the blog section.That would encourage more members to post and post replies, but only if points accrued are worth having.

The rewards for accruing points needs updating. I would like to see books on all aspects of creative writing and self-publishing given as a reward. Also,copies of both the writers and artists yearbook and the writers and artists children's yearbook.

I welcome more reasonable suggestions.

Ah but I not only miss commas I misuse, them, entirely. 1000 points for every misused comma, with a bonus 25 points for inappropriate use-of-a-hyphen

We could play it like a game, W:

Each suggestion must be more reasonable than the previous one.

That would seriously shorten the game, though! If we reversed it:

Each suggestion must be more UNreasonable than the previous one,

we could theoretically continue forever!

I can just imagine Clare's: 'For every missed comma - 1,000 points!'

Do they have to be more reasonable, Adrian? Can't they be JUST AS reasonable as yours?

I'll give it a think...
