We reward people for clicking on a link on our site.
Topmudsites rewards MUDs for sending visitors to its site.
You claim people wouldn't vote as much if we didn't reward them.
I claim most ranked MUDs wouldn't send as many visitors (or any) here if topmudsites didn't reward them with exposure.
If we're engaged in bribery, then this entire site is, and every MUD listed on it is participating in bribing topmudsites to give them exposure.
In the end, you can call this entire site rewarding, or bribing. It doesn't really matter, as neither changes what it actually does. It's also worth pointing out that rewarding/bribing people to obtain actions desirable to you is what most economies are based on. I'm quite sure almost no one would show up at work without being bribed by a salary, for instance.
