It's a sign of social activity. There are some Achievements tied to points as well.

Not officially, but they've inspired about a dozen threads like this one.

The site is big enough now, offering anything for activity would just invite a lot of low quality content (and spam) or at least a more of it.

So do you get 1 point per post?

Yes. I believe blogs are worth more.

Of course, writing a blog on a site that uses bots to mute members is risky.

They're not. They are just a measure of how active you are socially.

If your points exceed the number of puzzles you’ve solved or the number of games you’ve played, you would be better off spending your time on Facebook.
