I dont agree with this and it does work on other forums as long as it is watched appropriately. If anything a popularity contest should decide who wins monthly prizes as opposed to who can post the most. If a member posts 300 times in a month mostly nonsense as opposed to a member who is busy with their family/work and posts 20 great posts, who should be rewarded?
Related to this new system, is it really necessary to list infractions under the screen name like I have on mine?
