#{{Support}} - As I have said before, the points system must be eliminated, and I give my unwavering support to this cause. Our Wikia must be kept in the utmost care of its real users, and this is the first step to a better future. We will win, no matter what the cost!

#{{Support}} How I long for the days of old when people actually edited to improve on something, other than for just points. - Grievous797

#{{Support}} I support this all the way, it's not that I don't like the points it's that I don't like the fact some users will make tiny edits to satisfy thier sin of self pride and to think they are "above all others". You made the right choice and I agree with you. -[[User:Halo Scout]]

#{{Support}} I do have to agree with Simon on this. It does encourage people to just edit articles. I mean, if you look at the number of people blocked, there are quite a large number of them for point spamming. I also agree with another one of Simon's points. The collaborative editing part is crucial to maintaining a good and accurate wiki, and if points were taken away, people would be more inclined to help out their fellow Halopedians, and not be accused of 'assisted point whoring.' -[[User:The abbo]]

#{{Support}} I am in favor of the removal of the points. or at least getting a better point system. -Lt. Cronin

#{{Oppose}} - No , i don't think the points should go, and yes, I feel all funny being the only one in the Opposing column, but I have an idea for the points: You don't see them, you don't know they exist, and you don't know how many you have. However, your rank still grows in the same way. People won't know what gets them promoted and what doesn't. This means that the newer users that come here that are likely to point whore will not know what they must do or how far they have to go. Upon entry, they will not even see that editing helps rank. [[User:Thecairocat|Thecairocat]] 15:55, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

#{{Oppose}} - I don't think points should go either. Maybe we should remove them, for say, a month and see what happens. If it mostly good, the points leave forever. If Halopedia turns bad, then bring them back. It's a sound plan. [[User:Kougermasters|kougermasters]] 22:06, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

#:But what happens when the 'n00bs' get lots of points from worthless edits? that makes them get more respect from other users who don't know they've been point whoring.- ONI recon 111

#{{Oppose}} As per ForgottenLord, though, he made the explanation humongously wider and larger than I anticipated...

#{{Oppose}} The point system is the most interesing feature in the whole site, and it helps me to contribute edits. Don't remove it, for god's sake. [[User:Kronos101]] 11:25, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

If the points system were to go, would it be possible to add a small section at the top of your page saying what rank you are in each usergroup? I know there are the userboxes but they just get stuffed at the bottom of the page with the other userboxes.
