*shameless bump* ;)


To make it a bit less obvious ^^ - with nearly 100 people filling out the poll we have the following results right now:

81.73% think farming and bots are a problem.
50.96% think it's a major problem.

96.55% agree with at least some possible counter measures.
The most popular choices are:
- Automatic detection systems with 5.46 people out of 10
- Changing the reward system with 4.95 people out of 10
- Rating/reporting/votekicking systems with 4.33 people out of 10
other options are trailing at about 1 out of 10 each.

So people seem to trust automated systems a bit more than community driven ones and seem content with C-bill payout amounts in general, but would like to change the proportions between the different kinds of rewards.

atm the error rate of this poll is <I don't know how to do error rates> with a certainty of <maybe rain?>.
