I noticed a trend that every time I click on new 'Answers', I always see same folks first in line answering questions. A bunch of mumbo-jumbo thrown together trying to beat the competition in order to earn +100 Trailblazer points. Are you really that desperate and have no life? What are you REALLY getting out of it?

And good luck trying to beat SFC Mark Merino, because, hate to break it to you, you won't beat the ultimate Rallypoint thief :-(

Come on now, get a life then! Breathe a little. Let someone else be the first to answer sometime and REALLY deserve them with some good insight you big NERD!!

PO1 Jacob Dronzin I believe the designers of RP put those points out there for a reason - to keep RP members engaged and keeping the discussions moving along. Even if you just have a few chasing points, at the end of the day who cares. I think it was a brilliant idea that they came up with. Yes, and you will have those who don't contribute and then you have guys like me who can ramble on for about 14 or 15 sentences. A lot of hot air sometimes. I try to bring value to my responses like many others who contribute.

If someone is out there for the points let him or her keep going for it. I believe the purpose that the gang at RP developed is working and it keeps it interesting.

I have nothing but praise for the way they developed this application with the point systems and individual involvement at the Member Administrators and Ambassadors Level. There are some really great Top Influencers out there like TSgt Hunter Logan and Sgt Richard Buckner that really take what they write seriously.

Is it perfect? There is always something that can be tweaked. If you have ideas on improvements send them into the Ambassadors or staff members listed on your Leaderboard or identified on "About Us"!

Just my humble opinion like always! Have a great RallyPoint Day!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs When first joining,i thought that "trailblazing" was just for someone chasing points.Later,began to realize that without some on my contact list seeking points and "trailblazing" ,i would have missed some interesting post,especially as the community grew larger.So IMO it actually serves the community in a positive manner.

Points don't matter!!! You will get more points from GREAT answers earn more points than any trailblazer points.

PO3 Bob McCord - Something relevant instead of "good job" would be nice,Bob.But don't really give a s**t,at times the "Trailblazer" actually draws me into an interesting discussion i might have missed.
I agree with the camaraderie statement.

I am going to use the same thing I said in the last complaint I saw about points; welcome to whose line, where everything is made up and the points don't matter. Seriously who cares? Are you so competitive that you have to "win"on a discussion board?
