I wonder if showing the number of first answers somewhere could influence that. If something is counted, someone will watch it, and it works together for trophy hunters (in case there are still some to gain :p). Doesn't have to be always positive, of course...

Down to 56 by the way.

Right you are ! Bet you got lots of conversations thrown at you for having your signature on these bumps. Is there a watchdog on the bot, or do the mentors have to do that ?
