| Aug 17, 2011 at 11:20 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | this is actually a good idea, but as @matt pointed out, it has one fatal flaw: it only rewards those who already participate. There has to be a rookie award program at a minimum... | |
| Aug 17, 2011 at 2:35 | comment | added | user59659 | Disagree. This does very little if anything to attract new users, which I think should be part of the purpose. The contests on other sites are oriented towards promotion so I assume this one would be the same. | |

(For example, have you seen the massive collection of variations on the name "Eric Cartman" on YouTube?) | |
| Aug 15, 2011 at 21:31 | comment | added | mmyers | So does that mean Jerry Rice isn't going to be giving out prizes then? @ran | |
| Aug 15, 2011 at 21:29 | comment | added | Randolf Richardson | @mmyers: By MVSU, I suspect that Ivo Filpse meant "Most Valuable Super User." | |

| Aug 13, 2011 at 5:04 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse Mod | We can have something like a MVSU ;-) | |
| Aug 13, 2011 at 2:56 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | Note that we're looking for alternatives to a "race for reputation contest". Things like improving tag wikis, community FAQs, etc. would help the community. That being said, looking at previous activity and rewarding users would be an interesting way to approach it. | |
| Aug 12, 2011 at 23:31 | comment | added | Breakthrough | I have to agree with this. I can see no possible way a "race for reputation" contest will ever benefit the community... | |
