When users are at all motivated to skirt the rules to boost their cred, when we at all resort to "I'm more helpful than you" to boost our cred - in fact, whenever a user feels the need to have "cred" at all here - we have a problem. The solution to the problem is to disallow vanity pages like "welcomed users" pages. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:57, 7 May 2007 (UTC)		:::::While I welcome all sorts of ideas, I have to reject those that don't do any good.
