Are points an achievement?

I haven't been on chess.com for very long but I have done a fair bit of research and I have a PhD in private investigation so I believe I know a decent amount about the history of the chess.com forums. After digging through the forums I realized that some people are utterly obsessed with 'points' they believe that it's some sort of achievement. So, do you get some sort of reward for points?  Or is it completely useless?

I think there should be some kind of reparation, after all its our contributions to the forums that creates content.

Should we punish people who just say indeed, yup, sigh, and other useless comments for no reason other than to gain points?

Yeah it's called spamming. Sadly stamina is diamond so I have to get a whole bunch of it together to get any punishment.
