A ranking based on the usefulness of posts would be a welcome addition, eg. a count of thumbs-up clicks… but that would probably involve a change of forum platform and a lot of expense.
YES! Have come across a few forums where individuals can "thumbs up" a Reply Post, to indicate it was very useful information. Which was the only way their RANK gets increased. Not based on posting 100's of pointless one liners... or even Three words in some cases.
But like anything in life, there will always be a minority who go out of their way to beat (cheat) the system. :whip
