5 Minute Movie Guy (379 KP) created a post in Smashbomb Feedback

Jul 1, 2019  
I think there should be some sort of incentive for uploading pictures on Smashbomb. Since joining just a few days ago, I've probably uploaded over 200 photos on here. I've done it because the galleries are mostly barren, and it's easy enough for me to fix that considering I have so many movie screenshots saved to my PC from my own website, however given that it takes a while to upload the pictures and I don't get anything out of it, why should I bother at all? I'm all for helping out the community, but I do think we should be rewarded for putting time and effort into this.

However, I also recognize that it could be an easy way for people to exploit the Kudos system, and that could be a big problem. I used to be a part of a wiki-style website community before, and people would upload thousands of pictures for maximum points, and that seemed pretty unfair to me. What if you earned 1 Kudos point for every 10 approved pictures you submit? That's low enough that I don't think anyone would go to great lengths to abuse it, while also giving people a little something for the trouble.

I'm curious to know your thoughts on the matter. Let me know what you think!

Currently, the main incentive is follower/KP based. When you upload images to an item, you are credited with that addition forever with a name-stamp on the image, and a prompt for other users to give KP (and follow you) - see image.
One thing we were considering for this is 1KP for any user uploading images to an item that doesn't already have any images, regardless of the number of images uploaded to that item.

Appreciate community feedback on that?

I have made it no secret that I am a fan of Paul Finch ... how could you not be with characters from his previous books like DS Mark "Heck" Heckenburg and PC Lucy Clayborn? Well here we have another memorable character ... DS Lynda Hagan.

This is a stand-alone book which follows the investigation into a seemingly straight forward car crash involving an ex-Formula 1 driver (Wade) and his wife Harriet (Harri) but it is anything but and we are soon taken on a non-stop ride full of action, suspense and intrigue involving gangs, grasses/snitches and one relentless and determined copper.

Told from Lynda's perspective in the present and Wade's timeline from the weeks leading up to the crash, with a great plot and a break-neck pace with twists and breath-holding moments, this is a great crime thriller. I wonder if there are going to more books featuring DS Hagan, I would quite like to get to know her a bit more because I think we only scratched the surface in this and I think there is more to her than meets the eye! If so, I will be the first in the queue.

Thank you to Orion Publishing Group via NetGalley for my advance copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.
