Sure, you're going to get plenty of complaints, but I think it fits the circumstance.

[Randomactss]

This way it will be fair. =) People have crazzy amounts like 30k

No, Because the people who Actually played fair lose out.

Not really. If you have a better source of clicks, you'll have the same lead as you would now, despite the changes in the total. The only people that are hurt are those that have stopped getting many clicks and are trying to rest on their current lead.

Fine cap it out and leave 500 points per a day *remain after purge so you would have like 1500 points from it*

Please this would make it even for everyone. The cheaters right now are at like 30k we legit folk are getting screwed.

I have something to ask before anyone signs this petition.



Was this the norm? Did a majority of people use this so called 'exploit'? Could you safely say that if you were to randomly select someone who is doing this competition, that you would find some who 'exploited' the system?



If you can, go for it. I'd be all for it if most people did this. However, I'm going out on a limb here and saying many people put a lot of time and effort into getting their points, however they did it. The thing is that you can't just amend and change rules because of outlying and rare examples. Doing so defeats everything these people have been doing to get this many points.



I'm sorry, but I just can't condemn everyone because a select few cheated in a select few's eyes.

I think the number is not as low as you would think, especially outside of this forum.

[Crixt]

On this forum, it seemed to be 40%, increasing by the hour.

i support the purge

Then everyone would have to spa the link thing again? I say everyone gets a N7 hoodie and they call it all a wash. Not that I'm just in it for the hoodie or anything.

Let me use a metaphor here .

You have two people, one  worked hard all his life an retired with one million dollars(person A), 
the other robbed a bank and retired with a million dollars(person . What your saying is because person B robbed a bank, you should take away person A's money that he worked hard for so person B can be the equal of person A  when the bank takes there money back. 

Now can you  honestly say that sounds like the right thing to do? 

Analogy doesn't apply because both of them would be placed at a disadvantage versus the rest of the world. If everyone's money was taken away and Person A was more skilled at making money, he would almost immediately be wealthy again, relative to the rest of the population.

This is good too. We've advertised hundreds of thousands of times cumulatively for you Bioware, just give us hoodies.

Well, the analogy doesn't work on that level, but it also doesn't work on a moral level. Until tonight, image linking was discouraged, not made illegal like robbery.

[Randomactss]

If we purge it will even out. It has only been 3 days. More then enough for people who would win anyways WILL win still. *I'm talking about the people who did it legit*

It doesn't change the morality, but it does change what should be done.

Forgeting what people have done, this is what should be done. =)

I don't believe you are that naive that you couldn't come to the conclusion on your own that bypassing the the functionality of the link was cheating.  

No more so than multilinks, and it reduced the quantity of link spam. However, I could almost agree with you if a mod didn't come out and essentially say it would be tolerated if it wasn't used for spamming.

[RobUnreal]

i don't support the purge, because it does penalize the people that did it fairly. but, those who F-ed up should be punished

[Orion91]

This isn't like robbing a bank. This is like someone playing poker for the first time and not knowing the rules. The person asks if it is ok to look at other peoples cards and no one answers. Several hands later they get mad at the person looking at the cards.
