Sorry if this has already been answered but I was thinking of the point system for the posting. Do making threads count as the maximum credit for a post? I feel the logic behind it is that when you start a thread, it's pretty much guaranteed more views than a post on a thread. It would be pretty hard to abuse considering it's difficult to create a thread without reason or in other words "just for the free BTC". Plus, why would anyone go out there way to create a thread when they could substitute it with a post in the gambling section with ease. In essence, you compensate someone posting a thread for doing greater amounts of advertising.
