So.
First off, locking the thread.
Secondly, this kind of thing:
a wall of text going after a particular person
is never acceptable, ever. I'm tired of what seems to pass for "acceptable behavior" around here. Don't like someone, fine. Not everyone is going to like everyone else. Keep it to yourself.
Thirdly, as it relates to this topic, since it's clearly not something there's going to be any consensus on, and no one's given me any suitable ideas beyond "rewards for contests" (the original reason for it), that's what they're staying as.
Regarding guides that have been maintained by people other than the original author, talk to me. The point is to give something to people who contribute in big ways, so, you know, shoot me a PM if you/someone you know should qualify.
