From BoardGameGeek chat:

"Geekmodding" is the act of helping the site sort its user-submitted data; a new feature was introduced today to sort game photos into categories and so all of the photos in the database need to be sorted. From scratch. Obviously the geekmodding system was put to use.

"Geekgold", or "GG" is a virtual currency that can be earned by submitting content or geekmodding. It has various uses: some on the site, or some people accept it in exchange for physical copies of games.

kyrasantae: aaagah i can't stop modding!
Barn: are you getting geekgold for categorising them?
daveroswell: kyras I feel yer pain
daveroswell: I have no Idea
Barn: it doesn't look like it, but I'm happy to be wrong
Barn: it's just nice to see the old pictures again
RPardoe: yea - 0.01 GG per image that you correctly categorize
Barn: oh really?
Barn: heh
Barn: so it's the WHOLE geek back catalogue?
kyrasantae: yep
kyrasantae: i've clearly been rather short on GG
RPardoe: 1 GG per 100 images.....go for it...
kyrasantae: but i need to sleep too
Barn: if you sleep all the europeans will get your geek gold
kyrasantae: seriously this geekmodding is bad for my already bad carpal tunnel syndrome ;)
kyrasantae: i know! :(
kyrasantae: i can't let the Finns take my GG!
Duglis: not the Finns!!!!!!
Duglis: or the Russkies!
kyrasantae: or those darned Swedes!!


15 minutes later...
kyrasantae: whoa i've just earned, like 15 GG :o
Barn: you did 1500 pictures?
gwen: wow you're going to be rich soon
kyrasantae: i don't know what just happened :O
kyrasantae: i can't possibly have done 1500 pictures
Barn: they might have to revise the entire geek economy
Barn: their could possibly be some kind of bug
Barn: enjoy it while it lasts
Barn: maybe they've got .10 in there by accident
kyrasantae: sounds plausible
Barn: would 150 images sound more like it?
kyrasantae: nope, i'm actually getting 0.01 GG each, it seems
kyrasantae: o.O
Barn: weird, wonder why it works like that
Barn: there must be something wrong, how else could you have got 15gg in such a short space of time.
SatanicEssence: If there is a bug, then I intend on taking advantage of it!
