If the online point earned prior to 2011, will it be considered as 1/3 or full point towards ranking purpose?

Everyone knows this. I am not referring secret messages. Players are at all times entitled to know what meaning(s) their opponents attach to their calls and plays. I am referring to simple calls natural when no meaning is attached.

Why is the bridge laws designed to help the defensive teams? When offensive team bids a hand, defensive team often fails to use bridge judgment and always asks the meaning of the bid even when the bid is not alerted. It is so easy to ask a question by clicking on the bid several times rather than use the bridge judgment. Is it the trend developed for the defensive teams that they can ask any question at any time during the bidding? If the answer does not match the hand pattern, why players get upset, call director, or criticize? Why players cannot assume that if the bid (call) is not alerted then, it is natural call and proceed to use the bridge judgment? Bridge laws allows to ask any question at any time at their turn. Is it something wrong with the bridge laws? Or is it the alert system which was created 20 years ago ruined the game? Any thoughts or comments?

I bid 2♠ and now My partner bids 4♠. Do I have to bid further to proceed to slam? I did not try for slam. Am I at fault for not trying slam? What is the bidding sequence to get to slam in 2/1 method? Thanks. Where the opponent at the other table bids grand slam on precision method and made it. We lost by one imp.
