- If you want to make people stop cheating, eliminate the incentive to do so. - Will Hunting Aug 23, 08:40 6
  - but some people will do anything for $5k and Olympians have cheated when there was no monetary reward -- nm - zork Aug 23, 08:44 5
    - It's been a long time since winning an Olympic medal had no monetary reward in first world countries. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 23, 08:47 4

        So you agree with Will that there is financial incentive to winning an Olympic medal? (You used the word "but".) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 23, 08:53 2
        
        What I'm saying is that removing financial incentive will not stop some people from cheating -- nm - zork Aug 23, 08:54 1
        
        There is precisely 1 way to get all people to stop cheating at events where there is any spoils to the winner. - Will Hunting Aug 23, 09:04
- and stop buying the advertisers' products -- nm - zork Aug 23, 08:36
