Mystery of Points Generation

A member generates maximum points every week. No problems about that. But on a Monday morning by 9 am he has already generated more than 100 points without contributing a single post in the forum. Other member are in single digits. Mystery worth decoding. Anyone?

Do we get points everytime we read the same article. Your effort at digging out how points are generated is  praiseworthy. 

It's funny that he developed sudden interest in reading articles after the point for liking a post was discontinued. I wonder if points for reading an article is not given, what ll his next interest be??

The only thing that comes to my mind is that the poor guy is probably suffering from insomnia so he sits at his computer the moment the clocks ticks in a new day, well before any of us is awake and gets to work clicking articles. flushed

He is having the last laugh. He merily goes on adding points by revising already read articles.

I guess the only solution to such misuse is adding a minimum time duration between each point reward say 2 minutes.

I would suggest to keep a gap of  10  minutes with a maximum of five per day. Mo points for reading more than five.  Alternatively why give points for reading articles?

Yes suggestion of vijay is good but restricting post will loose activeness of forum so i approval process on each post will produce better result. 

The same suggestions had been given by me sometime back and if I remember correctly @ Vijay had mocked me . And Sunils efforts to discipline this said member we're set aside which encourages this shameless person, who still clicks away ..I don't see anything much happening here since the admin looks in once in a while which hardly helps since the moderators have very little say ..

I do not recall as to why should I have mocked you. Can you throw some more light. 

May be you will find them if you go through all your responses ..

Meantime Rambabu is busy minting points reading and re-reading articles. Great dedication to remain ahead come what may.

Indeed it is a strange unwanted point generation that just reduces the interest of people in the site. Some quality checks need to be implemented in this regard to arrest such continuous accumulation of points without any reading happening.

I request @epraneeth77 to avoid digging up irrelevant threads which is as good/bad as clicking on articles for points gaining purpose. The thread is locked now.
