While I understand your concerns, it is much better having one thread where people can post replies rather than spamming the forums with meaningless posts (as some people have done). This was previously discussed in another thread, (found here) where users were being bothered by other people posting menial threads just to say "hi" to get a reward etc.
It keeps things neat and together, rather than encouraging spam on the forums and making the rest of the forums look untidy. Since it's under general discussion / could additionally be moved to "Forum Games" - it really isn't causing much harm, and is serving it's intended purpose essentially. The point of the rewards system is to ultimately encourage players to use the forums more actively - which, I think is being achieved.
It is difficult to accommodate everyone, which can be understandable, but I personally agree with the majority in the above mentioned thread that it's better to have one designated thread for players to comment on to get rewards, rather than flooding the rest of the site just to get rewards by posting an entire thread to say "hi" - sometimes people won't know what to create threads for - there's only so many guides etc you can make, and with the addition of the Wiki, a lot of them are pretty much pointless. Again though, I understand where you're coming from - I just think this thread is the best compromise.
