The shop hack gives you money for posts. Each post is worth $1, but users can vote for the post either negative or positive. A positive vote adds $1 to the value of the post, making it worth $2, but a negative vote subtracts $1 of the value, making it worth $0, or -$1. A user may also donate money from his "wallet" to another users "wallet". The money in your wallet can be used to by colored custom title writing, a custom title, a custom avatar, a custom rank star color, and so on.
There are several inherant flaws with this. Users can get other users to donate money to them. Users can favour other users. Users can bribe other users to vote all of their posts positively.
For instance "If you vote all of my posts positive, I'll vote all of your posts positive". And so on.
Ask yourself, would you be happy to post in this sort of environment? Do all the pros of shophack outweight the cons?
