RPGCreative.net chronicles: I'm in shock. Someone received the same amount of "help points" with a 30-lines script written in 10 minutes, than I had for the first version of ACMS (which was originally a request from someone there).

In my opinion it's not about where praise should be directed, it's the amount of praise. Not everyone is a winner, we don't all deserve medals for placing. If it wasn't any effort no high praise is needed (10p) just a simple thanks (2p). I don't suck someone @#$% when they get me a glass of drink now do I?

It just feels discouraging to write good quality scripts when one can gain twice what you got working much harder. Kell said the amount of time spent is not relevant to the quality of the script and I see what he means, but I don't completely agree - say two people get to the same result, a script that works, only either of them has spent twice the effort improving his code to...
