...we should have a poularity system. Like for every ten posts, it is a point.

Please think before you post.
Yeah it would promote spamming.
A popularity system is a bad idea in the first place, as it implies we're all socially retarded and simplifies the whole social system of life. But one based on posting would be even worse, it would promote spamming.
...I hate agreeing with Goldney. :(
You're wrong.Quote:

But I don't think it would work well here...
You would just be measuring relative posting frequency.
What about a "rate this post" option in which people would rate the post and then their quality of posts could be seen in their profile via how they have been rated?

I think this is an incredible idea. Dividing my post count by ten is so hard.Quote:

Hey Mark, could you be more like YouTube?
(ie. make a video, monotone voice, rant on about someone who pissed you off, make sure you do not look directly in the cam, and make sure your mic is visible.)

If not for a certain "type" of member (of which we have a few) that would rate more for political/comedic/self-serving reasons, rather than as an actual gauge of quality, I'd say that just might be a good idea.Quote:

These statistically insignficant contributors would rest in the outliers of the significant distribution of voters. I doubt that, in the range of votes, these individuals would make a significant impact that would compromise a normal distribution of voters given that the common poster takes the time to actually vote.Quote:

Now that is acting like youtube!Quote:
