They are credits given on your balance held in zencloud. They are essentially paying interest on your funds if you leave it sit.
They are giving hashpoints for upvotes on hashtalk, the reason I shared that is because I was and am still banned, there is no way I was helpful on there.
Maybe people there are trying to silently show that they agree with some speculation by upvting so they don't get banned. Who knows... This interest system makes it sound like it's a ponzi even more though.
Not possible. I was banned before the forum software changed. I haven't been able to login into the new forum. So its impossible that I was helpful.
You old posts were migrated and your account was migrated so someone could have upvoted an old post. I don't know how GAW links HT to Zen, maybe by e-mail address.

True, maybe someone is on an upvote spree.
