I just wanted to ask about the referal link thing, it seems like it can easily be abused. Is there some system to make sure that someone isn't just spamming it or re-clicking under proxies?

Current plan is to remove that activity.

The other similar activity - referring a friend who signs up - will require the friend to complete a set amount of their profile before the points are awarded.

Machina I think best system was in gametrailers, where they had to reach 500 posts (And at that point the person would receive the points), or something similar.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Can we introduce a rule that you can only win once, so that Blacksaber and pbroy don't end up with ten 360 Slims each?


Will consider that. On the one hand we don't want to put off our most active members from contributing because they can no longer win something, on the other hand we don't want to put other people off because they think they don't stand a chance and just the same few people will win each month.

Perhaps the ultimate prize can only be won once - I'm guessing the other nine or so per month won't be on the scale of a 360 Slim, or perhaps even Witcher 2.


Yeah that sounds like a good compromise.


I agree with this, also if the number one doesn't want the grand pirze can they choose another prize instead? 

And for lower then #1 when there are more then one prize I'm going to assume that the next number below gets to choose what they want from whats left and ect...



Former something....

Have you thought about an aggregate scoring system? I dunno. 10 points for first, 9 for second, 8 for third etc. all the way down to 10th (or however far you're going...).

Each year, you could have a maximum number of points you can gain, and so prizes (15 points, for example). And after that, no more prizes. But next June, it resets, and you can take part again.

It seem like the fastest way. I mean, first place is already over 400 points ahead of 2nd FGS

Just an idea to make it fairer. Disregard it if you like.

 

EDIT**

The above idea sounds better actually. *sigh*...how far back will prizes go BTW? 3rd? 5th? 10th? 20th?

We won't be able to publish a full list of prizes until sometime after E3, so I can't say yet. Only the prizes mentioned in the OP are confirmed.

@Conegamer's edit - It will vary from month to month.

Any word on this month? Or is it too early to tell?

Read the post you just quoted!

I did. 

So I suppose we should just wait and see...alright. Thanks.

When I try to click next on the GamrRewards ranking it keeps sending me to the top of the page, using FF.
