@APolitical, I think you are worrying about nothing. Most people "are not to excited" are they? Funny that - the feedback I have had so far is very good. You are rather missing the point if you think the purpose of it is to encourage people to "post a whole bunch of crap as fast as they can". If you have read anything so far, the system doesn't reward constant mindless posting it rewards good discussion and the amount you can earn from posting in forums is highly limited - if anything it just acts as a way to keep ticking everyone up in the background.

As I have already stated (many times) things like adding games to the database, FAQs, release dates, reviews, screenshots, game info WILL BE (but not working yet) the best way to earn yourself mre vg$. All this content will be moderated to ensure that the system is not abused (and to ensure that the info we are adding to the database is correct). This I think is a very good idea as it encourages and rewards people for contributing to the site.

I haven't noticed any increase in "spam" or that posts have become any more worthless than before so I can't see as it has had any negative effect.

 I'll take your word for it, man.  I trust your judgment, I just wish that there was some way to vote up or down individual posts based upon their actual content.  Similar to a "kudos" system as seen on other sites perhaps. 

 Will you at least think about it?


 Nah not good....If I would say 'COD 4 is better than HALO 3' I will get a vote down of -2375 =p
