We tend to choose people who put effort into the wiki by default. Honestly it's not a huge deal but for the sake of this debate (which is focused on this), it is. Why should we warp reality for a debate? Nonsense.''' Eligibility only ensures that users are working relatively hard for the wiki so they deserve the reward. ​​​​​​Does it really matter, though? It's either ToTM becomes extremely casual and is barely a reward, or people have to put effort. I' prefer the casual part. I'd prefer the latter, because that's how everything should be. Put in effort and get a result. I intensely practise my musical instrument every day and I get good at it. I excersise hard every few days and I get fit. I strictly keep to a diet, I lose weight. Effort should mean reward. Not idly sitting around commenting one nice comment every other day then going offline. " I disagree with that. The wiki isn't made of idiots.

The Staff should not force work on us and even if they did, I'm sure we wouldn't accept it properly I agree 100% - some of us, I guarantee, will vote blindly. Some isn't a Majority or Plurality. Fair enough - I have no duty to thoroughly look into edits. I don't either, i completely agree with you on that aspect.
