Thanks for sharing your thoughts @fourfourfun! It seems like you're of the opinion that we shouldn't worry too much about "gaming" of the platform since no matter what we change it will still be able to be gamed in some way. Let me know if I'm misunderstanding your thoughts.
I think the discovery tools you mentioned are a great idea - but I don't think they will help combat gaming of the reward fund.
I don’t think anything should be discouraged, never Of the mind to sit back and do nothing! You absolutely have to do it while not be discourage that people will try to find ways around things. The discovery should work in tandem with it all.
