I think people shouldn't take the points seriously. At all.
I think the owner of Pinside should have fun with them. Erase them periodically. Invert them. Whatever. They're for fun.
I think the reason this website is doing well is because whatever is being done simply works.
Make a good faith effort to keep it clean and good spirited. Allow for some threads to occassionally be dirty and mean spirited when appropriate.
Make more people moderators, and delegate more authority. But keep supreme power among the inner circle.
It is a good community and site. Don't overengineer it and screw it up.
