I notice I have 41 Points. What are these points and how do I earn them? Can I exchange them for "favors" from the more unsavory members of our community?
While your post made me laugh, this thing keeps bugging me to accept or reject your answer and since it didn't really answer it, I have to reject it, lol.
Now that I'm home (it didn't look like I could do it on the mobile version), I marked you as having answered my question, WetRats. And apparently, you didn't even get one measly point out of it. That's a bummer. I'll give you a like or two.

There's more to points than badges.
@electric_mayhem and I have the same badges, but he has five more points.
This calls for YET MORE SCIENCE!
So far I have 1 "agree", and no "likes".
And no "LOLs"! WTF?
Only because you asked. Are points the new post count?
And I want to be the first to drop it
Badges? We don't need no stinkin' Badges!
Be glad I gave up my dislike button sir!
I suppose so, as long as the Scientific Method is respected and not exploited for cheap entertainment value.
