Well, I certainly know your point of view, that's what prompted me to do this poll in the first place
You do make a lot of good points but I would dispute that there are loads of games we could ban for this reason - I don't think there are that many to be honest.
And again, you're right that it is for fun (no money changing hands here), but with some games it's incredibly easy and virtually no effort to rack up a very big score - when all you have to do is press the fire button for a few minutes the temptation is there. I think that while you could say that, yes, this has been played in great spirit by every single person who has taken part, the same could be said of the Lemon Amiga competition and look what happened there. Now I'm not suggesting we do have people like that but there is a lot of potential for trouble.
But hey, I've said all this before, it's all about what everyone else thinks and I'll come to a conclusion based on this.
