Reply to comment by RandomLegend in Fair system by Andrevery

Seriously it's been a while since I've read Harry Potter, was there anything stopping someone from rigging the fuck out of the point system? Or was it just an honor system?

We did something similar with points as camp counselors and honestly the authority figures just want to motivate the children to act right. We didn’t really care who had the most points. So it came out pretty fair.

There was an inflation that started as the kids got points (that we just made up) they became less willing to seek more points unless the same tasks offered more point than before. Maybe just a quirk of human nature.

Other teacher probably? It was honour system, that's why Snape rigged it.
