Maybe there should be someone who can give more points for something manually if outstanding effort has been put in?
Otherwise I'm all for reviews over a certain word count being given a points upgrade too.

Theres no point giving extra points to someone who lists 100 films jsut to get the points. There must be effort!
100+ lists of Zombie/Dog/Dinosaur/Pirate/etc films without putting anything else in it do NOT deserve a bonus.

EDIT: Perhaps that was a jab at me, perhaps it wasn't. Whatever, the point (no pun intended) isn't to bicker over what would and could possibly earn extra points. In fact, I'd be OK with the way points are awarded right now. And to take it a step further, sometimes I wonder what would happen if the point system didn't exist; maybe some folks wouldn't feel their high horse was any more special than anyone else's.

Without people contributing tags, ratings and lists to the site it would be a very boring place. Just allowing the basic listing of items would make the social side of the site redundant, and users wouldn't be able to find new stuff that applies to their interests. Points are really just a way of rewarding us for sitting infront of our computers entering data, relieving us of the feeling of the pointlessness of the task. ;) That and it adds a degree of competition with other users and the self. I know I've sat there saying to myself "Go on, just another 3 tags and it'll be a round number..." :P

I've added point increase for long lists and lists with notes to the todo list.

html codes take forever, so I actually haven't done any of those yet, but I will, eventually...
