The software awards scam
Darwin:
I say make it an actual award. We can have a forum for nominations and then users can vote and generate a rating (5 clucks, 4 clucks, etc) which will then be made into a custom rating icon for that site. I love this idea mousey. We should do it. Heck, I volunteer to head up management of assignment of these awards if you do decide to go for it.

Or we could have Cody holding one throug five gold coins?
Josh:
Yes! I am loving this idea. Mousey, lets move on this!
mouser:
I'm wary of assigning scores to programs based on user votes -- i think it's too inviting of companies to game the system.
app103:
I think rather than an award with some kind of point value, just a nice Cody graphic with "Read the Review" on it.

Fair enough, though I was thinking about this more in terms of an award for apps featured in full-blown reviews. The mini-reviews and discussion forum awards could be dealt with as per app's suggestion (I like it!) :Thmbsup: We could have a "Read the mini-review" and a "Read the discussion" graphic.
