Re: A suggestion for an incentive system for good posts

I just feel the need to chime in a little, since I kinda started all the post count hoopla.

I hope people don't feeled compelled to compete for respect on this site in any form, whether it be by post count, age, or even reputation points. The site, at least in my mind, should be about having a good place to come and discuss the Redskins (and other things) openly and intelligently. Not so much to compete for respect or anything of the kind. Hooskins, while your incentive system is an idea that would certainly foster quality posts, I fear that people would get too competitive about it and get carried away. I can almost hear all the bitching that would result from someone thinking they made a good post, only to not get points from mods, and raise hell saying "well you gave John Doe points for his stupid post, why not me??"

And a note to the mods: with the post count issue, I didn't think the site needed any major changes at all. It's still a great site. I just suggested the post count thing because I knew it would take no effort to make the adjustment, and was simply worth a try to see if it made a difference.

I'm not crapping on your idea though hooskins, because it's nice to see good members taking an active interest in making the site better. It just might take some work to have the mods constantly assigning rewards points - and some people will invariably feel slighted by whatever system is used to assign the points.

This is just my personal opinion though. If others, and the mods, want to go with it, then by all means go with it.
