For the past few months there had been bugs related to the gold granting system. In particular there had been no cap placed on responding to polls.
The bug had been fixed now, and on top of that the cap to how many polls will grant gold is also changed. The main focus on the new algorithm is to allow more reward for active users and less for mule or secondary accounts.

As you can see, the problem has been resolved!!! Now, the higher your post count is, the more gold you get (I've been getting as much as 12, sometimes 13g per poll, and sometimes even 10 for normal-length posts!). I find this to be a very good resolution to the conflict, and thoroughly thank the admins, particularly Lanzer, for the wise and fair decision.
For all those bitching about how the 10g was just a glitch and is never coming back, including the mod who so rudely pointed this out, I've only one thing to say: HAHAHAHAHAHA. So there's your proof. The head guy of this entire production was just rewarding those who post more. No Gaian economy s**t, no glitch (nor any punishments for "exploiting" it), and Gaia still values its items at the same time as the discussion.
Good compromise, no? Bravo Gaia, bravo.
**as for the fate of this petition, I ask you all to spread the new word about the new policy and let this thread slowly die. I'll still tally up the final signature count just to see how we made out, and keep the URL in case we ever need it again. Thank you all so much for your support during the last couple of days...it really made me feel so very fuzzy to see so many people participating. I'll see you all out on the boards! biggrin

Well, just recently it's been made so that you can't post in more than about 10 polls and get the 10g for them. that's 100g per day, plus posting. This has been a major source of income for many Gaians, even spawning two of the largest polling guilds in Gaia: Magical Poll Land and Poll Central, and many users have always had this unlimited 10g per poll system...I don't see it affecting the "Gaian economy", and as far as I know, will only make it even harder to buy rare items.
So if you care anything about those of us who use polls on a regular basis, please sign the petition.
If it doesn't do anything...well, then so be it...but I think we should at least try.
Please feel free to advertise this thread wherever you want ^^ the more help, the better. [This does not mean to just copy and paste the link wherever you go....this would be considered spamming. Find a thread that has something to do with getting gold, or even about the change to polling itself, and post your opinion in it. Then mention the fact that there's a petition going on, and give 'em the link. This petition isn't meant to be a violation of TOS, so please help keep it valid]

Please refrain from signing up your mules as well, especially if you have a lot of them. In one aspect, they are individual accounts, and I can't really check to see if you're posting a mule or not, but on the other hand, the tactics are a bit sneaky. [
Please post your user name and if you want, state why (or why not) the unlimited 10g per poll system should be reinstated. Thanks!
