So we usually need to wait for Mike to give us the prize... And he is a busy man u know, so it can take him quite long (not complaining). So why don't we have a bot for giving away the prizes? For a genius like Schik that won't be a problem, i think.

The only problem with a bot is that it can be misused, while misusing Mike is somewhat more different. :) I don't think Schik would want that added risk, even if the prize bot is almost hack-free. (I say almost, because nothing is hack-free.)

What I meant is the same way you could misuse a bot, i.e. get a prize while you don't have the right to get one.

I really think this is not a good idea. I still haven't decided what to do with my prizes yet, so if they hand them out automatically I'd have no idea what I want.

As for rank (not mod) points, well, any admin can do that. And if you think that's not fast enough, I can apply to be an admin (well, I'm often on the forum anyway).

Thanks for the encouragement!

Now I know I really should apply for an admin position! :evil:

Just visiting the forum often is not enough... For example, CuriousShyRabbit should become an admin... And you. You need to be EXTREMLY useful for the forum to be an admin. :? :? :?

Maybe it's just me, but that's kind of a very unusual topic for a first post... :|
