In GameADay could you not win for the most posts in a day week or month.Then more people would come on to the site to try and with this award of say £25.
I know there are already cheats,chat forum and reveiws but once a month the staff could have a prize for the most posted person of the month or something like that.Posts because if words people would just write spam.

That idea would just create more spam. There is an easier way to win: Write a review, walkthrough and topic, and save it in word. Come on on Christmas day and copy-paste them all in. Only complete nobodies come on properly at Christmas, and it'll only take 10 mintues to post all your entries.

What about the number of posts you have on you thread and pick the highest amount of the day to pick the winner?

If anything needs changing, I believe Prize 3 should be restricted to just walkthroughs, and put up to £50...but that's just my opinion. The system's pretty dang good the way it is.

Also a regular could have a couple of accounts and vote to him a couple of times or have a big gang a mates so they all vote for him and he gets £25 for his trouble.

All you need to do is quote a big paragraph and some spammer gets another post to his or her name.
I think changing SR would be bad so lets not.

I agree with that but then i also don't. most notables are voted in because they are respected but others, mentioning no names are voted in due to forums wanting a representitive.

We will pick someone who helps us and is a good writer I do see your point we should.But I don't think GAD staff will agree but ask them and find out.

ummmm, that still wouldn't work well as mass quoting could be used as well as there's too much maths involved to change the stats on SR.
