Proposal: Remove Rewards for Better Merit

Timed out, 4-4 with reduced quorum due to Puzzler voting DEF. Failed by JonathanDark.

In “Scoring” replace “For each Wordsmith that posted a Scoring to that Backronym” with “For each Wordsmith other than the author of the Backronym that posted a Scoring to that Backronym”

Don’t think you should be able to actually change your score, but can still give yourself a score to hide which one is yours

I think I can hold off resolving the Open Backronyms until this Proposal is resolved, since the wording for resolving Backronyms is “it should be resolved” and not “it must be resolved”.

I’d rather do that and be fair to everyone than process the Scores one way for some of the Backronyms and then a different way for the others.

against imo it makes it more interesting to be able to influence your own score

mild for I don’t think changing your own score is a intended playing method of such a game
