I for one, dont endorse the idea of the 'marking' people on post counts or on the 'reps'\'thanks' ...
Some of the super seasoned pro's of this industry are here on the forum with bare minimum posts... (and eventualy "thanks" is a direct function of the number of posts too!)

While I would agree that there is a need to kick up some kind of an incentive scheme... but the post counts, votes are quite not right... take this for a POC, Mr.Anurag Ashok hardly has 1/6th as my posts, why is he a senior member and in all likelihood he will have more 'reps' than me...
Why so? duh, may be just because he has an imported bike?



The idea of the statement was not to offend him~! The idea was to show that these indicators more or less suck.. and if you restrict the grant of reps to a certain set of people it will end up into a race for ass licking OR SO IT MAY SEEM! and when assumptions take over, you end up making a mess of a beautiful community!
Anyone still confused with the example, please try it on our OF sir... lol It would take me some 300 million posts, and would need to yet delete some 100 posts of him to match off with the reputation he has ...!


My suggestion, lets do with negative karma...
Everyone has a default rank (or does not have a rank) and then based on thier post counts, others members can give a negative fraction point to that post! Like so and so members have posted x flaimbaits, x OTs and so on...! This would scare the shit out of useless posters and still establish a 'reputation' of sorts!


Those who agree, lol look around, why do you need a jazzy software, start reporting useless posts...




(not this one though please )

Ah and an easier option. Stick around and you will know whose advice you could take
