How do you prevent users submitting content only to increase their status?

Most of the content a user can submit to PetPeoplesPlace.com requires approval before publication. Any content deemed to be submitted only for this purpose will not be approved and the member will not earn points for such content. However, while our Pet Forums are heavily moderated it is possible that users could post messages for this purpose without moderator action. If you believe this to be the case please use the "Report Discussion" link that is available on each forum page, and a moderator will examine the discussion.
