Thanks for the suggestion CajunAssassin. We have looked into this in the past. The biggest problem is that the forum would get flooded with posts of lesser quality just so people could get "credit" for posting.

When we made the difficult decision to start charging for the video forums, we gave people an opportunity to post to get free access. This turned into a nightmare and overall quality and number of reposts was horrible. Many of you may remember those crazy weeks.....

We may consider new ideas in the future, but an automated post for credits system just won't work here and I don't want to start something new that would give me and the other moderators a huge new workload.

People should post for the enjoyment of sharing. We already have a very good volume of top quality material. I wouldn't want to do anything to upset the balance or lessen the overall quality of posts.

Thanks,
