I agree with the arguments already noted and have made similar comments before. Since this problem has been ongoing for over six years I don't suppose it is likely that Administration's policies will change because of my comment but... I am a major contributor to the site so I feel I should be rewarded for that, not penalized.

Any comment Admin?

I have to weigh in on this...I too am a heavy poster like Somerset. We are both honest posters, posting only our own stuff. I would not post as many as I do if I did not get the positive feedback that I get. It drives me to post more, but the point system restricts me. I guess if it is needed to keep the fakes and abusers in check, then at least keep it at a fixed amount....currently it increases as the number of pics increases. Some days I do not have enough points to post, so I wait a day or so.....just my thoughts.
