Are points awarded for reviewing articles (rating articles)? I am asking since this is not mentioned in that link. Please let us know.

Was it ever given ? I am not even aware of it...from what I know you don't get anything of reviewing and rating a article , it is just done out of goodwill..

Yes, it is our continuous process of review and re factor best possible scenario. Presently, more members are inclined towards replying to forum posts and resulting in spam/un-related posts. If users find nothing to do they are simply posting unrelated posts instead of doing something on other sections. So the comments for forum posts, quotes etc are set to 3 points.

Also when you reach 20000 posts, you already got 500+1000+2500+5000+10000=19,000 additional points. So from there a fixed 5000 points are given for each 5000 posts. For answers it is 2000 answers from 10K onwards.

Never given not planning to give as well. We don't want cooked up rating on articles.

But Sir,
it is also possible to give points on the basis of character count.
even if I post lengthy posts and short posts, i get the same points. but, for lengthy posts, if more points are awarded it will be an encouraging factor for persons who posts long replies. otherwise, for getting 3 points, all will opt for small posts with 50+ characters

Character limit is just an eligibility. If you participate on forums not just for points. the limit doesn't matter to you. And do you know why only few people are praised/respected here for their presence irrespective of their points or whatever? Those who just concentrate on points will leave subsequently or turn to good writers later on. So it doesn't matter how many characters are there. After all forum will earn you enough knowledge to be social and be a good writer. That is the main intention of forum, not the points.

yet it would be a better idea to grand more points for lengthy posts.
there are a few persons here who write lengthy posts without caring points :)

Although I would really like to get the Comments feature back on articles section, is there any possibility in the near future of it coming back??
