After reading Drive by Daniel H. Pink recently I am more convinced than ever that we should stay away from anything that has any kind of awards, rewards, points, or whatever attached to it.
Systems of "do this - get that" barely work in the "pay for world" of employment.

I recently read this blog post which sums up my fears on the topic of Karmafication framed in an example of a project that seems to have made all the mistakes people are worrying about here

Thanks, that's a very good read.
Please note that I feel stackoverflow goes much to far - it is practically at the other spectrum, compared to us. We make it hard to track what people do, they make it in-your-face obvious with gold and glitter. Something in between, I think, would be better. As usual :D
I find it also very interesting. E.g. you want to avoid rewarding for "bugs opened" or "comments in bugs" - because you never know how valuable these really were. Even the number of submit requests is of no meaning - e.g. Ciaran submits tons of license fixes and he's arguably a real expert in verifying and changing licenses. But that doesn't mean he is a good hacker (it doesn't mean he isn't either - you just can't judge from the information provided by the system).
