Rewards for successful threads?

[Lost_Addict]

I was just wondering if there should be a sort of award for a really succsessful thread.

I'm not sure how it would work , but say with the awards system, Therecan be an award for you creating a thread with over:

100
500
1000
2500
5000
posts

The latter is extremley rare and it's unusual for someone to create a thread that even reaches the 100 post mark. I just thought this would encourage people to create more threads and more eaningful threads.

You could even go as far to say if you've had a thread in the past that has reached the goal mark you could send the past link to whoever would be incharage of this and still getthe award similar to the way you atain member of the month.

Obviously i know this would need alot of tweaking and implimation, but i truley believe it would increase the amount of intresting threads around the forum.

It was just a quick passing idea.

So any thoughts?

Just because a thread has 100 or even 5000 posts doesnt make it good or contributory.

I do like the idea and think it's something possible, especially for the larger end of replies although arguably this is something the reputation system could cover.

On top of that what sort of thread would you class as good though? Because there are threads like "What are you listening to" which have thousands of replies but I wouldn't say it's a great thread

Yes, sorry, I don't think 'lots of posts' qualifies for a quality thread but the idea in general is a good concept and something that could be easily moderated by the moderation team

Ok mabey scrap the 100 / 500 posts. But it takes a decent contribution to make a thread that tops 1000 replies. As the subject is very relevant or intrestin to debate or a great way to pass the time (What are you listening to).

I have a feeling Saurav might like this idea

The threads with much quantity are rarely decent threads, or even successful, they're usually just non-constructive "Post your" or just enormous arguments.

A successful thread would be someone asking for help, someone helping them and then them thanking them, just three posts in the thread but a lot more useful.

I mean threads that are used, not spamming but are used and are keeping posts coming in and people are eithr debating / updating / playing and so on. I might get a list of threads i mean such as.

It's hard to get across what i'm trying to say.

I like the idea on "paper" but:

- Quality, not quantity
- It is ever so rare, like you said to get 1000 meaningful posts which debate etc.
