How come you get points for people "Liking" your answers to questions but not when people "Like" your comments to blogs?

That simply happens to be the current process. The points theories are elusive.

A constant debate over points, some think that they should be harder to earn, others disagree.

I think Q&A is supposed to be a helpful forum, so good answers are rewarded appropriately. A blog can be about anything (I don't think the Q/A feature was intended to be what it's become), as can comments. Only quality content should be rewarded, is what I think the logic is.

That's a relatively recent change. Likes for your blog comments were so common some people thought it was getting out of hand.

It is a good question:) We used to have likes for everything. I guess, AR staff wants more traffic here, in A&Q, so they reward members with points.

I think the old owners were trying to encourage more use of the Q and A section.

They used to give points for thumbs up to comments. I think they stopped because it was getting a bit out of control and some may have been abusing. On answers, there is a limit of pts for 5 thumbs up day.
