Where can I read what points are all about? Where do they come from? How did I merit them? What good are they?

I'm not sure if it still applies , but once you accumulate 1000 points you are sent out a free chess.com t-shirt .

Say thanks you guys. It make sence to attach some kind of merit to players comments. Then we can direct our attention to those who have a real contribution.

I wish we could attach a tag to advertizers and phone solisiters and other who require our attentio.
