Yeah, i'm new to TekRepublik and also noticed the huge mass of questions whose points were undistributed; Why is TekRepublik not dealing with this issue???

This problem completely subverts the whole premise of the point-driven economy.
(really, i'm serious)

TekRepublik should have a time-out feature for questions:

"If a question's points remain undistributed for 15 days after its post date, then the points offerred will be deducted from the author's own account."

Why, i can evensee the day that some accounts have negative point balances. ;-)
Why, i say, "Bankrupt the culprits!"

Now, i know this isn't a democracy... But, surely there's a better solution than the status quo -- a bunch of undistributed points, which is akin to burning paper money in a real-time economy.

TO THE POWERS THAT BE : solve this problem!

I agree many questions go unrated.
I felt bad as the first question I asked was very important So I made it work 1500 points.

And when I went to rate the answer I tried to give more than 2 people credit and found out that I could not do this.Many of the answers where excellent, I felt bad not being able to despense the points fairly. Not just between 2 members.

What's Really Going On!

Hmmm. I don't see that there's much of a problem with reneging going in.

Maybe once in a while, folks genuinely goof up with the interface, but the same folks tend to issue 'make-up posts' to make sure the points get disbursed fairly. In one case, a poster even went so far as to mail the techrepublic staff to make sure that the points went to every single respondant.

I was impressed with that man's sense of fair play.
