1. People without at least 20 DC points (me being an exception) are not allowed to vote for Gotw - this will help reduce fake accounts from voting
2. Games must be downloaded by at least 9 people in order to earn you DC points (downloads from people with less than 30 DC points don't count - this is for fake account reduction)
3. Previews don't give DC Points unless an admin really likes it (still worth only one point)
4. 20 free DC points given for every year your profile is on Daily Click
Also, if we're keeping the review system then perhaps offer more points for reviews. Coupled with the Alert Admin button to keep down on spam reviews it could be a workable system, and perhaps see a rise in reviews.
I think resetting them and be more strict would work, by the time people got lots of dc-points without reason people stopped writing reviews. If possible, mr Garces' ideas are very good, there's too many fake accounts here.
Changing ratings and buying shit on the other hand usually makes things very messy.
Why not just scrap DC points and instead list your total number of posts, articles, downloads, and reviews separately on your profile page. Because if they don't do anything other than give people an idea of how much of a contributer you are, there's no reason not to be more specific about what those contributions are instead.
Then rating stars could then be based off of their total, or an equation based on what their relative values would be, or something. Rating could stay attached on your forum posts like it is now.
I think all we need on the forum side is Name, Level, and Rating. Postcount, DCpoints(/broken up contribution totals, or whatever), and Warnings aren't the sort of thing that we need to see on every post.
Very nice of you by the way. To humiliate the users with warning stat...
Do everyone have to know how shameful I behaved? This makes me frowny.
Unbelivable how came the videogame colture... Jesus fucking christ.
Like everything that was made by humanity, I see everything corrupted at the end...
All of you people and your inventions... There's nothing good ever made by people as it end!
...Except me!
Can't belive that my 15EU I donated goes for that fucking system of warning people.
I've being fooled.
By the way. Stars used to present your contribution to the site:
Games, articles, reviews, posts, each.
This new Warning system makes feel more like a wall of shame.

"Fine, screw it."
It's gone.
Nicky Garces has some valid points, but I do not think you should earn 20 DC points per year, because that makes people register fake accounts, let them silently be, and then vote on lots of crap a year later.
The limit-to-vote should also be lower, like 10.
I like the idea of people needing a certain amount of points to vote - but does that not kind of remove people's right to actually vote for game of the week? The general poll gets over 100 votes per week, while the GOTW poll gets around 50 votes per week. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong huh
Nice ideas anyway, keep giving your suggestions.
This is a signature. Have this one on me.

Speaking of added features - I still have 5 copies of myself in my buddies list.
Flava: what about account age of a fortnight? Wouldn't be foolproof, since you could still create accounts in advance, but you couldn't create them in response to a GOTW vote you didn't know about beforehand since the oldest the submission you're responding to can (or should, rather) be is a little under two weeks. Would discriminate a little against new users, though.
Yeah we considereed that before I think. The flaw with that one is as you mentioned though, you could create like 5 accounts or whatever and wait 2 weeks before uploading your game etc. And you'd still have those accounts for future submissions too
