I presume those people doing this for the points will not voluntarily change to earning no points, so what you're asking is for those of us that care to stop earning points here while everyone else carries on. Did I get that right?
I'd rather live without the Coffee Corner. It has no value at the moment anyway - what genuine content there is is lost in a sea of poetry and other nonsense. I'm temped to suggest that we just delete it, lose all the points earned in here, and re-create it when it is possible to do that as a points free space.
Laure's suggestion of locking it until that time would save the content, but at this point I think getting rid of the unjustified points is more important. If we're going to have a points system it should be a meaningful one, and that means getting rid of points that have been acquired by inappropriate means.
Or maybe the "PAIN" blog from this morning (thankfully now gone) has pushed me over the edge and I'm overreacting?
Steve.
