For the last three days, my points have been stuck. They have not increased despite writing three posts, replying, and liking other people's posts and comments.
Another woman wrote that she has the same problem. Twice, I wrote to Agnostic.com customer service. Asked them to investigate and fix the problem.
Are your points stuck, too?

I love the community, but I am very busy with my Youtube channel. I look through the post on religion and try to add to the conversation when I can and do not bother to yak when I can't. Heck I would just buy the T-shirt If I could! It would be nice to eventually earn it, But i want to contribute not just rack up points.

                                        Why does this place have to be a competitive endeavor? So I'm less than because I don't post 50 posts a day? maybe I just don't have anything to say right now. So get over the point thing and start posting interesting and provocative statements and ideas. Sorry folks, i just get tired of scrolling through 50 posts that really are not interesting to me.

                                        Sounds like you got out of bed on the wrong side. If you don't like a post, don't read it. Nobody forces you to read 50 posts a day.
@LiterateHiker i must have missed the memo where you got appointed my/our personal censor.
Gaining points is not a competition or race.
It motivates people to participate in the discussion.
Ohferpetssake!  Just STFU about the points, already.
Youff life will not change, not one iota, no matter how many you have, or how long it takes to get them.
It is a simple result of the Number of your posts/replies, not some kind of award that shows how intelligent or witty you are......in fact, in some cases, not so much......

                                        Yup, agree, yes sir and madam.
Sounds like you got out of bed on the wrong side. Nobody forces you to read a post. If you don't like it, move on, darling.
Still stuck but I know Admin has been contacted by many members. I might wake up one day with tons of points showing up. It would be like Christmas morning surprise!!!

                                        Is there really a hierarchy with points? Why is that important?

                                        On your profile, under "Details," is the word, "Level." Your points are to the right of Level. Click on your underlined points and you will get the Level page.
This explains the perks you get at different levels. When you reach Level 8, you get a free Agnostic.com T-shirt (purple or black, unisex sizes) with a ballpoint pen.
Shut up, level 6! Know your place! Level 7 rules!!! 
It's a long slog between levels 7 and 8. Seems like forever.
@LiterateHiker Level 8 is definitely taking its sweet time getting here.
Yes. To go from level 7 to 8, you have to gain 40,000 points.
Fom level 8 to 9 is harder. You have to gain 200,000 points.
@LiterateHiker I found myself at times wondering what the point system was for, now I got an idea like the other gentleman I'll be waiting naked for my shirt to show up
@LiterateHiker A t-shirt and a ball point pen give me shivers of anticipation!
I have been stuck since I signed up.

                                        To gain points, you need to write posts and questions, and like and comment on other people's posts and replies. To learn about levels and how to accrue points:

@LiterateHiker I have done those things. I created a post and had about 35 replies and it still didnt add anything.
Your bio says you have done:
Posts: 1
Comments: 3
You have to do much more than that to gain points.
@LiterateHiker I have to think about that for a moment, time's up! I'm only heading for 5 so should I maybe get dressed or my going to be cold a long time
@LiterateHiker, according to that I should have over 300 points.
@LiterateHiker, my points were finally added. I went from 67 to 470 overnight. Maybe they got their glitch worked out.
This seems like a pointless discussion to me.

                                        I looked like I would be stuck on level 7 for most of a year...now it looks like it could be much longer since my points haven't changed in a few days. There better be cake, is all I'm saying.
Yup.. Stuck... Admin said he turned them off for a bit, but turned them back on... Mine are still stuck though...

                                        This is all over the Senate group ... Admin has stated in reply to my query that it's a background process that has been shut down due to system load, although I'm not clear whether that explains this particular failure or previous ones. It may be down for refactoring at this point, given the level of complaints.
I can't speak to more than I know, but I conclude that it's likely that no one's points are "lost", simply delayed.

That's hilarious! Love your sense of humor.
I pictured you gleefully jumping up-and-down on your computer.
@LiterateHiker Nah, nothing like that, but I did picture myself wearing the shirt and getting shot at.
They ran out of shirts, had to find a way to curb the rampant shirt culture. ?

                                        What size did you request? My shirt is size small.
The T-shirts are unisex sizes.
@LiterateHiker I was just joking. You are wearing the hell out of that shirt though - you should send it to them for advertisements and ask for money. I'm not joking. You look great.

@LiterateHiker Amazing. Bob Ross couldn't have painted a more idyllic scene.
