Earning points weakness

Actually, every user recieves 1 point for each page (post) view he/she did.

Can we do the limitation for that to count only unique page views after post content changed (new comments added, new attachments, any other stuff). Because now any user can just hold F5 button and recieve 1 point for each page query that may easily break user activity stats, I think.

I think they should disable the points totally until they figure out exactly how they will be used.

It makes sense.

I actually don't mind 1 point for page views. When the system is complete it will reward lurkers.

It seems points equates to usage, so the more points, the more you have used the site (reading, posting, etc)

Some usage actions are worth more than others.
