That post you quoted was from August 2009. A lot has happened since then.
For one thing, that winter I went ice-climbing a few times. Always multi-pitch waterfalls. I bought some second-hand ice screws and I filed the points myself
But I scramble a lot. Mostly easy, rarely alpine, but it's real scrambles, on real rock with plenty of exposure. That means, I often rock-climb, on remote ridges, with backpack, boots, and mitts, and I climb with no pro at all!
Hey! that's gotta be worth more cool anti-noob points for me!

petzl helmet: 2
edelrid harness: 5
mixed quickdraws: 5
mammut bag: 5
stick clip: 10
red accessory cord: 1

luckily I carry 2 of my belay devices in my rope/gear bag all of the time along with all of my locking biners.
guess I'm a n00b

I got points for having a Misty Mountain Harness, DMM biners, and an IKEA bag for my rope.
Somehow that doesn't seem right to me.

I agree. You should have gotten more points for the Ikea bag.

Why? If the rope and bag are going in a pack anyway then what is the point of spending any money on something that you are just going to toss in the dirt?
My IKEA bag cost 35 cents, keeps my rope clean and has handles that make it easy to carry from route to route. What else could you ask for in a rope bag?

Since you have no sense of humor, the serious answer is, in part, that a good rope bag packs up smaller.
Now go give yourself 50 more points for being offended by your score.

27 - But I am still a noob - You should see the racing stripes I put on my helmet (not red - but orange duct tape).

-40. Just goes to prove this is a flawed system. Then again, the only reason I have most of what I do is because of a CL score of new gear off some guy who blew his load on a dozen Petzl draws and a good rope/bag only to decide he didn't like falling while top roping.

My points
Risk factor 1: Helmet
Climber is wearing a helmet belaying: 10 points
I live in the rockies, choss is abundant . . .
Risk factor 4: Belay device(s)
Does not have a grigri: 10 points
I prefer a Mammut Smart.
Risk factor 5: Quick draws
Anything other than Petzl: 5 points
Dogbones too skinny to grab: 10 points
Mostly BD draws, some skinny slings, -5
Risk factor 6: Rope bag
Non-Metolius: 5 points
MEC makes a great metolius alternative . . .
Risk factor 8: Unnecessary equipment
10 points for each locking carabiner on the climber's harness not clipped to a belay device
Standard practice here is Part "J"
http://www.petzl.com/...ing_Catalog-2010.pdf
Risk factor 10: The color red
One point for pack if that counts . . .
I get a 46, which is confirmed, visiting traddie.
Forgive me for liking my helmet, Smart and extra biner (cumulative 30pts).

95 = Sadness.
It didn't help me that that my Heliums are red with skinny dogbones. That was 27 points right there.
It also didn't help me that I keep an ATC for rapping in addition to my Gri-Gri. Or that Mad Rock Demons make my toes happy. (At least they aren't red. Most of my previous shoes have been.)
Edit = My rope bag is red. +1 = 96. 
Edit = Uh oh. I recalculated. 105.

But the question is do you walk around with the biner hanging off your harness all of the time? Also, contrary to the manual, most people I know and see, at least where I climb, rappel down to save wear and tear on the rings.

Pretty much . . . One 40g biner Isn't going to prevent me from sending. Plus, I'm used to having up to a double set of cams on my harness, 14 draws and a locker feels light.
