Non-experts commenting on suggested algorithms involving game theory is kind of amusing. I don't mean that as an insult, but I hope you guys realize that if we gave the keys to you, the system would burn down to the ground.

You need to really broaden your analysis when entertaining game theory. The attack vectors come from complex scenarios you would not intuitively think of.

I think if you look at a site like google it is more difficult to game than a site like reditt. Granted they are two different beasts, but the more features that limit the amount of abuse of the system the better. If it doesn't work, it can always be returned to the way it was before.
