While all the negativity goes on over whether we should have a karma option, or a means to be selective and only read the stuff from people we 'like', how about some positive ideas on how to promote sensible and helpful posts, rather than how to ignore or stop the drivel?
I recently suggested, only half seriously, that we might have a post of the week. Although I can only partly see how it might work, I still keep coming back to it. The way I see it, is that every Friday, say, we post a link to the thread (or post) that impressed us the most in the past 7 days. The only problem is that we could all see what other people were voting for. So how about a new phantom user to whom we PM this information? Whoever 'owns' that user could then tot up the results, and give us the result each week, together with the nice comments that were sent. Could it work? I think so. Can you see any problems with it? Have you got any other constructive ideas, rather than a load more whinging about drivel?
