I would like to ask if this system is possible? I asked before but it wasnt really discussed. However on the Broncos forum this system has improved the quality of postings and is working surprisingly well.
Basically what happens is, you are given 5 optional points to give out to members per day, you give these points out to members who write a post that a person considers to be helpful insightful or funny or whatever, just something positive. It is optional as to whether you leave your name and a comment. It works best in my opinion if you dont so people dont feel like they owe one back. The points then build up into various ratings, like the stars do for number of posts. In this case they have levels set for Bars at every 100cp's a person collects. The other thing, the amount of points given out is determind by how long you have been at the site, so if your new you can give out 5 points, and each is worth 1 point, if you have been there over a year, each CP is worth 2 points. The final things that keep it fair, are you cant give the same person points more than once every 5 handouts, and you cant give yourself points.
Just an idea if possible. Thats the whole point of this forum if i remember rightly:)
