Speaking for myself, I am pleased to learn that a points system will no longer apply to the posting of a blog beginning in 2023. While the intent had been made and initially served, creativity took second as has become evident in the frequency and content within. In no way does this single out or berate any member, the points had simply became a hindrance. So by elimination, you the staff have opened the door to restoring what once was and what will be. My only hope is that the points, or a variation of, continue for the YN program to further encourage their participation and contribution to our organization. 

Very well said. The kids left a message that they don't get dollars for points. I would have to look at my blog to see it.They get dollars  on projects like the dollar projects and others. So they will be fine. The members did this. I wrote a blog the members responded. I couldn't believe reading it on my blog page it popped up. In blue. Said effective January 2023 members will no linger receive points for there blogs. And something else. then there was a small x to get it of the page. I called Miss Kiick I know she wasn't in. I left a thank you for removing the points from the site. The governor's and your entire staff. It had to be a long discussion. But I wanted her to know that we were thanking her for listening to us. No more race no more of thousands of points in month. Were all equil. I have said it many many times take my points out put me  last just let me blog and learn.I was not looking for a new site. This one will be great again ! And its thanks to the members. Im only one voice crying in the wilderness

What impressed me. A member of over 50 active years not only agreed with us. He taxed me and he is very happy. Thank you my friend

Points will disappear altogether is what I read? No points for collections,  comments, or blogs? Going forward seems like an improvement. Looking forward to 2023. 

I sure hope this comes to fruit. Also nothing else is used to replace points and or standings. My opinion.

Looking forward to 2023. No points should be a good thing. Hopefully quality and or interesting topics will be the normal.
