I see the point, and have given it some thought a few months ago. Currently, there's a system to update user titles based on the number of posts. The current version of vBulletin we use has a feature called "Karma", where members can vote to give every member a vote to increase/decrease their "karma". This feature is currently disabled, as it works both ways, and may offend some members, or make some newbies nervious and shy from participating in discussion, if they think they will get negative marks for asking so called "stupid questions".

Wa'il
