Keeping score for good things generally will lead to those points being abused so people can look good but not actually be good. Suddenly creating ranking for more good. Good vs evil where the lower tier can't keep up so the actively don't attempt to be good or even strive the other way.

That’s how you end up with this

Pretty sure there's been more than one sci-fi novel explaining why this isn't a great idea.

"There can be no punishment for doing poorly"...

Good people earn points, bad people don't earn points.

What is the point even? What do the points even mean? Are they worth anything?

If bad people aren't earning any points, isn't that already a form of punishment?

How about Karma instead?

I don’t want to side track you. I don’t keep points for anything and would wager that most people don’t either. I think if you just appreciate your accomplishments/achievements it is reward enough. If not then good luck with ever being satisfied.

It already exists, in places. You've probably written a review for private businesses, but how many commendations have you submitted to your transit worker, city service worker or politician?

You can file compliments in the same place you file complaints, via phone, paper form, web form, e-mail or snail-mail. I'm sure these people would be pleasantly surprised to receive your positive feedback.

Commendations are brought to supervisors, and sometimes they even make the agency's public newsletter. They cost nothing but a bit of time and thoughtfulness to give, so I'd say give it a try.

Seems hard to track cats pet without a lot of surveillance.

I do think that doing this personally is part of why gratitude journals and similar things work so well though.

Yes Corporate Social Responsibility reports, ftw! /s

Why everything needs to be score to begin with?

Maybe be a cultural thing with the USA. Around here (south europe) I don't feel like people keep track of that things as a score.

So if one pedophile flies another pedophile on a private jet to party with children, did that positively impact the pedophile in question?
