Point Sistem

I want to be able to use all my points. I think its unfair that all the points I won just sit there useless. All the time I spent to win that many points, and not being able to use them seems really unfair. I don't think its worth it to be put in a drawing for a premium account that isn't that great, and not being able to use
my points. You should make it so you can chews to have your name in the drawing if you make that many points, or not be in it, and use all your points.
Also its unfair that users under 1 milion get to use there points, and users with or over 1 milion don't.

I think I've seen this brought up before, and the fact that it has should be making a point (no pun intended) if nothing else. I understand that a lot of people are saying that the current point system is more fair than the old one, but I think what the issue here is the fact that the old points just sit there and do nothing. Why should they be there at all if you can't use or transfer them? At the very least, if the points can't be used to actually play the games, you should be allowed to transfer them to other users.

agreed here, the points are just sitting doing nothing, and I could do with mine back into my account. come on admins, when will this drawing be? points are just sitting doing nothing!

we did vote on the points system a while ago, and most of us voted for the newer way, that is with the usable points. if you didon't vote, i guess you have to live with the choices made, well that's if the admin decides not to change it back, but doubt it

Well I can see where the current point system is useful, but I do agree that the other points should be able to transfer.

i thought there was to be a draw for a membership? if the draw has taken place, then people should either lose their points, or after the draw, the actual points should be released for use.

I'm one of the people who voted for the new system, but I've been sorry I voted that way for quite awhile. I spent a lot of time building up those points and would like to be able to use them or at least transfer them to others.

if there was a draw, at least the winner should have been anounced by now. i think it's not going to happen otherwise

Yeah, they indicated there would be a drawing every few months. So far, other than the first one, there have been no follow-up drawings.

becky, they indicated lots ages ago, advert contest, drawing, another zone icon...maybe they will do it eventually, it's just not the top of the list right now. i'm a bit confused why it did not happen sooner though, but i guess like the advert contest and the followup to zone icon, it's just been forgotten about. what ever the case, with all our suggestions, i am sure they are very busy!

These people do have lives off the zone you know. We can't expect them to do every single thing people suggest.

i never said that, i mean, a lot of the suggestions we've posted lately have actually been coded, for example the extra profile fields, the book club, etc. :). just, hmmm... more organizing would be good

I like the idea of being able to use them once the premium membership has expired instead of them just bein' gone.

I had heard the drawing would only happen once a year. those of that want our points should may pay a billion for one ticket. then if we don't want to be in it we dont. its stupid to see the points I made last year just f---king sitting there. sorry its a pride thing, plus it would be more for me to gamble with hahahahaha!!!

i think a mass release of points. i think there should be a cut off point where you are able to accumulate points for the next drawing, then, a cut off point, then, once the draw has been made, the points are released for general use. having my millions sitting there in my account is just crazy. I need them for gambling on blackjack, and that terd called high low which rapes my points total something cronic.

Agreed with everyone on here. mass release,
