As long as WikiTridents (ψ my version of the money symbol and name) aren't integrated into the software, nobody's going to run around making more accounts for ψs. They can just add five zeros to their ψ100 next to their name. We *could* impliment your complicated system, but that would take a lot of effort and detract from our goal of becomming an encyclopedia. Besides, who would pay for the t-shirts?

 Anybody who has been 
 around for over a month soon sees that there is more
 than enough work to 
 go around.  Just imagine all these otherwise
 excellent contributors 
 running around accounting for W$.  Don't we already
 spend enough time 
 with the mailing lists? :-) 
 Perhaps when the foundation is at last a reality,
 and there is real 
 money in the bank for promotional material we could
 send out "I'm a 
 Wikiholic" buttons and T-shirts paid for in W$. 
 Members could earn W$ 
 for simply editing, but at a higher rate if it's something that the 
 community has asked for.  A person could lose W$ for
 bad behaviour. 
  Maybe Lir and DW could start off owing us T-shirts
 ;-)
