HI Naomi !
I think "Answers" at Moderator Forums don't counts towards points. If you see the Forum you will be able to see only "Recent Visitors", no "Top Answers" that's a clear indication to my assumption.
This Forum is for Moderators to help and communicate with each other regarding specific issue and for Forum Administration staff to monitor.
Please let me know if this helps. Hopefully i have answered you correctly.
Thanks, Hasham Niaz
