I think after all this time it's not the points rules per se but the partnership/contest/shell corporation rules are still profligate and subject to scamming in ways that are fundamentally (to me) uninteresting. Of course, I don't expect yet another root/Goethe proposal to dissolve the things will pass. One day. But I mean, if a "scam" is just "look, I have an VI-1 of voters who don't care if this passes and will give me a win/patent title for a few VCs" it's just not that clever. There's a million ways to get a win from an AI-1 proposal, so why is any given one any good or worth fighting more than "oh e can pass a proposal when no one cares that much"? -goethe
