Why did RallyPoint drop the "vote up" points from 40 to 30?

Congratulations... you must have received your 2000th vote up!
After 2000 votes up, you receive 30 points per vote. It gives a chance for everybody else to catch up a bit. More info here: http://support.rallypoint.com/customer/portal/articles/1401605

Sir, are you sure you're not being discriminated against? I'm getting 50 points for "Vote Ups"... of course, that may be because I'm so far down on the totem poll that RP is trying to bring me up to ground level... or, they wanted to make me feel good (which I must admit has been successful) ... or, possibly, in this game, the points don't matter... just a few thoughts.

The choices alone brought a smile to me face

Well I hope they don't raise the number of points needed to redeem them for gifts. I've had my eye on the One Free Cup of Coffee at AAFES gift card for a while now and would hate to see them move the goalposts back now.

Obviously, it is to slow SFC Mark Merino's inevitable march to 10 million points..

Redistribution of points due to point inequality? ;)

Why do people care so much about their points? Does it pay your bills? Does it make you a better leader? People should be more focused on actual contribution to a discussion. Many of the top "leaders" rarely contribute any real intellectual content to a discussion. They usually just post something like "I agree" and then link the discussion to their friends so they can vote their comment up for points. I think the whole system detracts from any real intellectual commentary as most of the top contributors are just spamming for votes.
