I've mentioned this on another Q&A, but I'd like to point it out to a wider audience.
I've noticed many examples of a questioner replying to others' comments along these lines:
"Thanks so much for your advice/comment/feedback. I found it really useful."
This pat on the back is all very well, BUT... you could go a further [tiny] step to prove your appreciation by clicking on the "thumbs up" symbol under the comment that you liked so much. In doing so, and without any cost to yourself (aside from the energy expenditure of moving your mouse and clicking it), you win 5 points for the person who gave you that good advice.
These points help your helper to reach 200 points, at which point they get a free book from Bloomsbury, and there are further advantages for higher point scores.. See further details at https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/rewards-points
You can also "thumbs up" comments that make you laugh or that give OTHER people good advice.
This practice also applies to comments on "Share your work" and blogs.
Let's get those points flowing!
Anybody have any other advice on mutual support on this site?
e.g. It's easier on your readers' eyes if you separate your paragraphs with a blank line... as in this "question".
I agree Jimmy, more books. a book every 200 points. It was really exciting when I got my first book through.
Also seconding a campaign to push Lorraine's points up, she's really helped me over the last few weeks.

I agree, but It's a pity there are no incentives for those of us who already have many thousands of points.
Jimmy: I think they should keep on offering us more and more BOOKS!
Oh, and they also need to fix the points system, because as previously mentioned, you now only get 15 points for posting a question, not answering one.
