I must confess that I also let things slide a bit between the 1st advent and christmas. I sometimes regret it as it re-enforces people's habits when they are too lazy to even do a basic search and then some over-sized-ego-points-hunters also complain afterwards that a few weeks ago they could answer interview questions but now suddenly it is not allowed again...
Unfortunately because of the idiotic points system and nature of the product perhaps even as well, it is necessary to have some strict moderation and choosing the right moment and dosage is not always easy.
Cheers,
Julius
