According to the list, I have more than 8000 community points - that clearly isn't the number of posts I've made, so how does it get worked out - anyone know?

Hi moomin - I can't see community points anywhere *wonders how many I've got and, more importantly, what I can spend them on* 
Hi Rexi - if you click on most active members - to the right - there is a list of everybody's community points.
Sorry to disappoint, but I think they're stuck there - no spending allowed, otherwise darloboy would be on a mega shopping spree!!

Community points are earned by doing anything from making posts to inviting new members to join the website. Community points are used by the system to determine your community title.
Pffft, only 8000 
I have 25000 - oh yes .....

Yes, you may also use community points for bragging. 
Are you sure I can't trade them in for a kettle, Benjamin ...
I think they have carried post counts from Gaga over here... and added them to any points accrued over here.
Would that make sense Moomin..... in terms of your Gaga post count?

possibly - I seem to be a bit of a nonentity with regard to my paltry number of points - that seems about par for the course.

Actually moonie they have probably got our points mixed up as our forum names are so similar - so it's you that only has 8000 points - what do you think?

What an absoloutely ridiculous, effin stupid wast of time.
what's wrong with having a forum where people post with each other simply because they enjoy doing so? do we need bonus points to encourage us

By taking part in the community, and by that I mean more than just posting. Inviting people, forwarding topics, starting private messages... basically everything that you can participate in earns points.Reference:

Oh not even close, no worries. I was serious, it is not right in front of you, so if you don't like it, you don't even have to look at it.
