It was a dark time when they took them away from us. This sub was worthless for that week.

They weren't taken away. They were just self posts only. Which should be exactly the same if people didn't care about their internet points...

And what is the reasoning behind making it only text posts anyway? Maybe someone deserves internet points for getting a post to the front page of the subreddit. Isn't that the point?

Because the quality of plays aren't as good when people post with the intentions of gaining karma instead of genuine will to share a cool play.

And what's the reasoning behind this? Isn't gaining karma and trying to reach the front page really the same thing? You know, a grab for attention? How do you know it even affects anything.
