Northwest Fishing Reports

Would someone enlighten me on the "points" we're collecting when we post or comment?:-k

Im not exactly sur but the more points you get the higher your rank will get. The first step is newbie then deck hand then 1st mate. Im not sure if it gets any higher than 1st mate but once you get 300 points thats when you are a"1st mate". 1st mate is the highest Iv seen. Later on when mike or aaron get on Im sure theyll answer this question for you. Theyre pretty good about answering these type of questions. If they dont answer with in the next couple of days you can PM them. But remember they are pretty busy with this site so it might take a couple of days for one of them to get back to you

I hear that when you get to 10,000 points you can cash them in and get a free toaster.

Maybe 20,000 points will earn you a microwave...

And 1,000,000 gets you a new boat.

and 10,000,000 you get your own private stocked lake to put your newly aquired boat on:-)

Has anyone seen someone with negative points? Whats that about?

Aren't they the people that have to give you the toaster, microwave, boat and lake?

cracks me up. :-)

I don't know how the ponts work, either. But this does present a contest opportunity. Most points at the end of the year gets all my garage junk, which may include some nice fishing gear...

I'll have to ponder this one.

Now your gonna get 2352463820546224 different topics about random crap just so people can get your garage stuff

You wouldn't happen to have a spare boat in that garage would you Mike???? Just kidding, haha.

well actually...

sold my old wooden sailboat a month ago. But it was in the back yard so that doesn't count.

I have 336 points what does that get me?

Quick Question for Aaron:

How does someone get NEGATIVE POINTS ?
I was going through the "Introduction" Forum and there was a Newbie by the name of LORI who actually has negative points ?? ( -85 )

If a post of yours is deleted, for any reason, you are docked the points you received and then some...

To make this celar to everyone, the points system came with the forum software and the software did not come with a manual... so I really don't have any concrete answers for anyone about how the points work. Best I can do if it causes too much confusion is to turn them off.....

Don't turn them off I am hoping to win Mikes junk LOL. I think we all were just wondering if maybe it was some sort of a handicap.

I like the points, keeps everyone guessing how the heck they get them. Hey, maybe less is better...
