The advent of the points system in the samsung members app is certainly a welcome step. But a lot of members here are simply misusing this points system to garner more and more points by simply posting or commenting worthless stuff which really is of no use towards a productive discussion on the forum. Most of these posts are simply one liners, without any context or relevant information. I do not intend to curb anyone's freedom of speech but in the midst of these nonsensical posts the relevant posts get overshadowed and become tough to find. A few example of such posts...
1. When is the update coming ? More than half of the posts here are pertaining to this topic. Asking the same question over and over and over again. I mean what's the point?
2. Peole commenting smileys and other blabber on relevant posts, and posting multiple comments for the something which can be said in a single sentence.
3. Posting shady website links and trying to spam other members here. I recently saw one user posting bitcoin website link, other some shady friendship website etc. They are abound.
4. People posting ads for other mobile companies. I mean what is the use of it here? If you are not happy with samsung go buy it. 
5. A couple of users are just creating new posts by simply typing stuff like "gfhfhfdhdj" , "ffffyysydj" etc. 

All of this only to increase their points or kill their joblessness which these members certainly seem to be. 
The adverse impact of this is:
1. No fruitful discussion can take place between members.
2. Other members do not get information of relevant posts and common problems a user is facing.
3. The conversation is really not about topics which matter to you, to samsung or to us members.
So my humble request to Samsung is to put a check on such frivolous posts. And to my fellow community members to report such posts when you spot them.

you are absolutely right mate but if you see at their perspective...it is a good marketing strategy...as non-active members are also becoming active and spreading the word around them which is incresing the traffic on this app...more and more people are getting to know about other products and benefits which Samsung has to offer.
So according to me that is good marketing strategy for them!

it maybe a good marketing strategy but one with a very high nuisance value.
