I am working on many quests for my shard, so my test chars are accumulation many quest points! :-) Is there a way to reset the points to eliminate this bogus points from the system?
Also, I notice that whenever I have a questholder in my pack and for one reason or another the quest does not work correctly, when I remove the holder by either [remove or by dropping it to the ground, my char gets a quest point. Is there some way to remove the holder and not get the point?

quest points are awarded when a completed questholder is deleted.
You can reset all of the quest points by using a command like
[global xmlset ATTACHMENT,xmlquestpoints,,points 0 where playermobile
which will set the points property on all xmlquestpoints attachments on playermobiles to zero
If you dont want quests to give out points, just set their difficulty to zero.

But, if a player learns that they can just drop the questholder on the ground and they get the points, just as is they had completed the quest, doesn't this make quest points and quest rewards pointless?

the quest must be completed. Dropping an incomplete quest will not give them any points.

I sure get the message every time I drop one. Something to the effect, deleting quest. 1 quest point received. I also get the message when I use [remove command on it.

is the quest incomplete?
If you are deleting empty questholders, then that might be what you are seeing since a quest with no objectives is complete by default.
Basically, if there are no incomplete objectives, then the quest is considered completed and when the questholder is removed, you will get the points.

It may be that they were empty due to a mistake in my [xmledit code. That's probably it.
