I wish there was a better way to determine how much someone contributes to the community than just the number of times they have posted. It seems that post counts only encourage people to make contentless posts. I have seen this happen on at least a few forums, but have not seen any other ways, besides specifically granting people special status, to accomplish this without just going by post count. Some sort of system where people could rate posts based on content, and have those ratings reflect on the creater of the post might be nice, but also probably very complicated to implement correctly. Has anyone seen an improvement to the current system? I ask out of curiosity, I do not expect some reconstruction of the current system.
