Yeah, I do see your point. I'm not against sorting bonuses per se; what I'm worried about is this: I feel it's good to reward dedication, and certainly older members who sort 20+ apps should be rewarded more than a newbie who sorted 10+ apps. And I do think that if there's a reward it should be for all apps and not, as you said, just half - since I personally find it a time-consuming and rather draining process.
The thing is this, for me: we reward people for voting, regardless of the length of their vote. It doesn't matter if they write two paragraphs or two lines, they're going to get the 10 points and 100 gil anyway. I suppose my main concern is that if the bonus is too high, we're opening the system to a great deal of abuse and/or unintentionally breaking it. That being said, we do run very much on a trust system when it comes to a lot of things, and I do believe that anyone and everyone who's voted does put time and effort into their vote, so - should this go through, since it's currently up in the air right now - I won't actually have major objections.
(I swear I'm not arguing for the sake of arguing or something (since I just said I wouldn't object), because I actually do agree with you on most counts; these were mostly my concerns with the sorting bonus since I feel members should be rewarded for effort and sorting does take time, but I don't want to accidentally open a system to abuse since we'll have to wait one whole game to stop up the gap regardless of how early in the game we find it. So, uh, I'd rather express them now. I hope that makes sense?)
