Point being... perhaps it's time we stop focusing so much on this as a "make money" site, and focus a little more on it being a cool community and content creation site. Because every time we DO say "make money!" we attract people whose focus will be on doing whatever it takes to get as a many pennies as they can, rather than creating content.

Easier said than done. There is a category that will always be doing everything they can to earn a penny, no matter how many rules they have to break. These are the people that get banned and then they call you racist, playing the victim, you name it, just to get back in the game to be able to spam, scam, farm and earn more. These people are like that in real life too. They won't change ever. Just my two cents.
