A suggestion for an incentive system for good posts

And in the end it becomes just another thing the mods have to monitor and we have our plates full as it is.

Points can be given by anyone, not just Mods. They can be given by all members, but the thing is those members with higher amounts of reputation points give higher amounts of reputation to members they feel that deserve it. For example someone with 340 reputation points will give out 3 each time(like a 1% formula). And each hundred you get you get a logo. This way a newbie can't just come and start giving tons of points to everyone. They start out with zero and they can't give out points until they have received a certain amount.

Also there would be a limit on the amount of points a member could give out in one day. And they cannot give points to one member twice, until they have given points to 20 other people or some other number.


And yeah this is just a suggestion guys, just throwing something out there. In my opinion it does solve the issue of quality posting, but at the same time Matty brought up a good point in that people now become concerned about their number of logos and points rather than posts. But it should not be more work for the Mods.
