lol - not just polls. Pick threads, other conversation threads & entering buy-in contests help get them numbers up as well (more ways coming soon)

getting punished would insinuate jack is your daddy, and youre entitled

not cool man, on a couple levels

instead of looking at is "punished" maybe look at it awesome next time I will be in a contest like this one

No one being punished, more like rewarding others.

Someone could have had 50 reward credits by buying in to the MM contest & Team MLb Contest and never started one thread

Also I am working on ways to reward people who do reply a lot however I just not sure that I have something in place that will work (that I am comfortable with) YET

That being said, I and so have some other moderators, have rewarded some with quality posts, replies and winners. This will be increasing in the future as well

In the future there will be a lot of ways to get credits but I didn't want to start with all of them and then take them away. I prefer to do it this way, make some adjustments at the appropriate time to make it better.

Hopefully by football - will have the perfect system, between now and then - we'll watch, learn and fix!

One last thing - people should just go about their business like they normally would. People post because they want to contribute or take part in the topic discussion.

Over the years, I have sent over 100 CM shirts out to many members, we thought this was an excellent way of still doing that and maybe offer a few other french benefits along the way

We have always tried to be creative in what we do here as far as contests and other things - and if it can reward those who contribute a lot - then GREAT!

It is good of course, I didn't look who had what, I picked a number and had to draw the line somewhere.

There might be some people who didn't notice the rewards and now maybe they will or there might be some who thought they were worthless and maybe they reconsider now

Maybe I will pick a perfect bracket and it won't matter cause no one will beat me
