As it should be, to be honest. The entire purpose of badges and gamrRewards is to not only encourage more activity across the site, but also to get regular users to help contribute to the site in the most useful ways (getting friends to sign up, building up the database, creating popular threads, etc.). If you're only able to win by having a healthy total in the 2 major areas (social and game database) then the system is working as intended.

Kantor and seece are spot on - it's perfectly possible to compete with the GameDB guys, they don't have any in-built advantages over the rest of us.

They do get to approve their own submissions.

GameDB Admins soon won't be able to approve their own work, and we're able to check their submissions and approvals, so if they cheat they'll get caught.

Great!  That's all I needed to hear.
