A quick mountain project question

I was looking around on the different destination areas and found some stuff that made me think of this.
mountainproject.com/scripts…;mode=&daysold=90&locationId=106007071&filter=
and this
mountainproject.com/scripts…;mode=&daysold=90&locationId=106007071&filter=&page=2

My question is, if routes and boulder problems like these are worth 10 points should'nt multi pitch, Big walls etc etc be worth more?
What kind of point scale would be fair?
Just seems to me if you go to all the bother of writing up a say a 5 pitch rte you should be rewarded.(Thats off course if you care about getting to the top of the points table!)

As far as Alpine rtes, should that be another different scale?

You're right in principle: you should get more points for better content. We've been toying with algorithms that take that into account (such as using the number of "great" ratings a page gets), but haven't implemented anything yet.

I don't think you should get any points without a picture

Pics or it didn't happen

3rd the Pics request, gotta have'em!

I think points are just an anachronism left over from the early days when it actually was an incentive to get climbingboulder.com started. I'd love to see them vanish entirely since the site has already reached critical mass for contributions.

Agreed.

Thirded.

What are points? And how many does it take to get a free pizza?

agreed!

First one to 1,000,000 gets a used- but still in good shape, chalkbag. Some dirtbag stole the brush for his teeth, but there's still a little chalk left.

Points? What is this, rc.com?

A low-rent site that exceeds the acceptable maximum of gumbies.

I agree with everyone who posted up.

Andrew's...Scrap the whole point system.
Marc's...Give a Pizza to the winner, so Blitzo it is.
Nick's....You have to get a "great" rating vote on your post to get points.
John's...Get an extra point for pics.
Matt's...If you get to 1,000,000 you get a slightly used chalkbag/brush.
JML....I hope it does not turn into rc.com
