Oh, yes, we always can to abuse something or even anything, but
our Micro-Economy was very resistant to that abuse over Rob's
efforts to keep it equitable. Micro-Money was RDS money, so Rob
knew better than any one else what to do with that money.
That Micro-Economy was a *donating* system first of all, "voting"
stands just in quotation marks, as you can see on M-E page.
Now the full Euphoria package is free, so for monthly $3 
of registered
user you can buy ... what?
Rob, couldn't you sell something, say, licenced RDS CDs with
collection of all versions of Euphoria plus the current
RDS site content?
Maybe, I just do not know. Or just sell some cool not open RDS program?
Or just keep that system as some kind of new game, as I said?
Let's think, at least...

Yes, "voting" is not very good thing for these purposes,
all these ratings, stars, ballyhoo, hoop-la ... I do not
like.

Good Luck with great SDL, Mark!
Even DOSBox is based on it
