There are many things you will be able do with your user points. You will be able to use them to aquire badges that can be include in the sig line of your email etc... Eventually you will even be able to use points to purchase merchandise from REVELinux Gear. Here is how it works every KDE-Art related link, remote news item or article submited by you gives you points. You can see how many points you or another user has by viewing the user by points page. As you accumulate enough points you may use them to purchase the items mentioned above. In other words you get something in return for contributing to KDE-Artists.org. If you save up and get some REVELinux Gear you are also promoting the project whos merchandise you recieve. All because you are an active KDE-Artists.org member.
