Not really, I had two non-scam wins by points in a row (probably with a scam win by points in between that was careful to put the points totals back again when it finished); that was via careful attempts to maximise my points scoring by any means possible. (I'm involved in most of the interesting contests atm, and I got the points that way.) I think what actually happened is that wins by points became a lot more common when I started trying for them; presumably, they would have become a lot more common if someone else had started trying for them, too. -- ais523
