yes, I'll also be blunt : Pure Good Proposals were very clearly being used by some to perform what is known as "edit-farming" to rake up edit counts and get more badges etc.. quality over quantity is key, we'd rather a small number of thoughtful edits versus a massive influx of edits done solely to get up the ranking system..

remember, being #1 on the Badge System or Edit-Count alone does not equal "best contributors" by any stretch, that's all that needs said on that.. don't abuse the system or we may have to look into removing badges (temporarily) etc..

some users may think this unfair but wikis are not democracies and admins have to do what is necessary to keep a wiki running smoothly - most of our users already know this.. we just need to make sure those who do not are aware that this is no longer accepted.
