To be honest, perhaps we *should* get "Kobe points", which would be the opposite of a Tommy Point.

That would be decidedly different from having one stack of points, and giving/taking from that one stack.

I kinda like it.

Someday there will be a draft where GC, Lucky and I team up. It will either be legendary or a sign of the end.

I just think "Tommy Points" make the site unique.

I mean, what other blog has them?

Lakers? Magic points? I could go with that...Kobe points? Mikan points?

Just doesn't sound the same.
Kobe points? Is that a bad thing?

Or can you only give those points to yourself?

Well played, sir!

LOL!! Awesome

Neither.

Stars mark volume, and nothing more.  Maybe longevity, but that's about it.

TPs are trivial, and while they were originally meant to mark a "hat tip" for good posts, they've morphed into currency in CelticsBlog games, and a fun thing that became way too competitive.  As soon as I heard the first allegations of members creating duplicate accounts to reward themselves and "TP cliques" where people would reward their friends as much as possible in a quid pro quo system, it was pretty apparent that TPs had jumped the proverbial shark.

My advice would be to focus on the quality of a poster's arguments, rather than the number of stars or TPs next to their name.
I would prefer an up-vote system where the actual comments say how many people liked them. I guess that is more a comments thing than a forum thing.
