To be honest, I'd quite happily never receive another hat on the server as long as I play. I don't log on to get hats that I won't even wear, and I certainly wouldn't actively seek out a 6k hat if I achieved that amount of spar wins. What they should do is stop giving out spar hats, stop giving out hats for towers, and impliment achievements for people to get. The point of "achieving" something is not in what you receive, but the identification of a personal milestone. In that thread I did say that some could receive gralats or hats as their prize, but I was just going with the trend at the time.

People should not need to receive hats for a milestone that everyone can get at some point, but rather, when they have actually won something. There is a difference.
