    The century of the self.

    A must see to know how psychology influence our decision making, from buying something to choosing a president for the country. It's about how people can be manipulated. I used to thought subliminal messaging is only today's thing, but it's frightening how far back it goes.

    |People should want to report things because they want the forum to be better, not to earn points

    That's what I think too. but I thought there was no real motivator for doing that because there's no reward. Sure, there are many who actively hunt down the bad content and report and be a good sport but they are very few in numbers. After the platform gets too big, I think the numbers kinda get unbalanced and the content quality gets lowered. That's why I suggested reward system. but yeah, as some people said, it might encourage people to unnecessarily report things.

    As this site is being started because of low-quality content overall on the other sites, it's necessary to do something to maintain that quality. Most sites start out good but don't age well, and the userbase too is responsible for that. Many sites offer points on the content that is shared, but there are no points for contributions towards the sites (?). I think it would be really great if the user gets some points say for reporting unrelated, unnecessary, troll, and other such posts or contents that don't maintain the quality. But those points are not awarded to the user immediately. The user will get points after enough reports about the content are reported and the content is made unavailable.

    This point system can be separate from the content submission points that user gets, or it can be summed up all in one.
