I'd like to build on this with a THANKS system.
I have used this in a ADDICT SUPPORT site I built, its kinda funny, because its almost like half of us here should join that site because we're addicts lol.
But, basically, being able to thank someone for their good advice, or helping out.
You see with number of posts, how many times they've weighed in, but if you get some good advice, THANKING them for a post would allow that persons REP to grow.
Some people in this site do a lot of work, helping, advising etc, and having this level of THANKS or KUDOS or what not would be a great way of showing what type of MEMBER they are.
Maybe we can have thanks for helpfulness, and kudos or trophies for golfing acheivesments or something.
As usual, adding my 2 cents lol.
