steam points or awards for correct reports

[WarHeRo]

i think steam should award every correct report with 100 steam points to reward community contributors. or at least give them an award that levels up for each correct report (10 xp per correct report)

Then people would make hundreds of accounts to farm infinite amounts of xp/points

Indeed. That'd be massively exploited by ill-intended users.

still, somehow they should be awarded imo. also 100 points is like nothing

I still wouldn't report anything, because I don't care about points. IMO not worth the effort.

We are awarded with a "correct" report.... the post/thread is locked/removed and the person is warned/banned.

Thats all the "reward" that should be needed. We shouldn't be giving people points or what ever for reports.

We already do though? I always get a warm feeling when I get a notification thanking me for reporting discussions posts.

i have, but for me it never was a problem. i spend too much time in academia to know how to ridicule ppl without using a single inappropriate word.

alright well, you see, it's too easy to get someone banned here

if there was an incentive for reports, then, well...
like, imagine a group of people going around digging through threads looking for any comments that kind of/sort of/maybe break some rule just so they can farm some points

there would be tons upon tons of bans. call it the ban-pocalypse

People already report things. If that's what you need to report things, don't worry, no one is missing out because you refuse to report things unless you're rewarded.

They already do and farm points by award baiting/begging which they can freely distribute to other accounts

Not really freely as they lose 2/3rds of the points in the process. They also have to spend $5 on the account, otherwise you can't even see their name in the forums, so that means even fewer people would be willing to give even a jester.

Create alts, break rules with alts, report alts, profit.
