Do you know how much spam could come from this?
A lot.
People would double and triple post spammy comments for free AP and they wouldn't be contributing anything positive to AG at all.
Totally bad idea.

Spam. The one word that raises the alarm bells in the minds of any mod. And the trigger that causes a barrage of advice, shouts of 'Spammer!' and death-threats.

Spam knows no bounds. For example, I can keep typing a single number in a posts, posting consecutive posts that eventually amount to a huge pile of AP but a severe blow to my reputation.

Spam exists only to be eradicated. Spam will never be tolerated on AG. It floods the forums, pushing back any good posts by thoughful users, destroying any sense of unity and bonding in the Community due to a bunch of irresponsible childish people. Such immatureness doesn't deserve to exist. Period.

As exaggerated as I may sound, spam is chiefly the arch-nemesis of every single moderator and adminstrator here...as well as responsible users.

It is sssss annoying, and people who earn ap this way is really screwing the ranks. Especially as "fame" is based on ranks, earning a lot of ap by spamming the games fx will make the newbs look up to those types, instead of the users who actually care to answer.

Mods are obsessed with stoping spam. Spam is:

Stupid
Pointless
Annoying
Messsages

But, not all spam is bad spam. Only if it is a chain. Strop went crazy when I spammed once. The spam is on my about if you want to see it.

The spam would over flow throughout the entire forums. Bad idea.

You are not the first to think of this. Threads of that nature are indubitably locked.
