scale post values

If many posts are made in a day, then these post should be scaled down.

IMO there are lot of low value posts being made to gain points.

I am of two opinions here. Either these points matter or they don't. I guess it really doesn't matter, but if the community feels these points do matter than I feel that this correction should be made.

*** I wonder who is down voting all my comments in this thread lmao... sad!

I got what you're saying ... but not sure there's anything that can easily resolve it. I'm glad I'm not an admin - LOL

Yes.

And I really don't mean it as a slight on @Madazzahat , but I'm using that as an example as how the point system can be gamed.

You're right. But it is meaningless in the end. It would be up to the admins though to correct it. So I'll just leave it there.

I agree.

I thought it was worth bringing up for discussion, at risk of myself being called a whinny bitch.

This argument falls flat because, say it with me now, "there IS no game". After you hit, I think, yellow, Poal's doors are pretty much open to you, right? You honestly should try reddit, lots of people there like to bitch and moan about karma farming, not realizing that it's honestly meaningless. reddit puts what it wants on it's front page, you do realize the whole fucking site's sponsored, right? That's why they shut down that porn poster. If they can't profit, they ban you. Again, I may be wrong, but sounds to me like you're trying to discourage posting here.

You might be right. Maybe I should just be blocking jokes from my front page.
