In an attempt to both increase activity in this forum and recognize those who are dedicating time and energy to it, I'm starting up a "Most Supportive Members" list and reward system, similar to that of ehelp. I know most of you do this because you enjoy helping people; not for the points or the glory. However, even when that's the case it's sometimes nice to get a little recognition for what you're doing.  

From now on I will tally participation of each SL in the serious forum each week and generate a "Top three" list based (mostly) on frequency but also on quality. Points will be awarded as follows, every Friday:  

1st place: 100 points  
2nd place: 70 points  
3rd place: 30 points  

The most supportive member will also be recognized in the post below, in an ongoing archive of who is kicking butt in the forum each week :)  

Note: If you are interested in donating points to help out with this, direct any questions to me (greatescape). I solemnly swear I will not rob anyone..and I have 20+ mods to view my point transfers and kick me out of here if I start. Also, remind me if I forget to do this please.

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I do not understand how you are going to determine quality. Something that is of low quality to you may be of high quality & importance to the receiver, as you are not the one with the specific problem. How are you going to measure quality from an outside perspective?

This is why I said mostly frequency.  I'm not going to make an intricate system involving ratings over everyone response.  I'm just reserving the right to use discretion when deciding to say....give the points to someone with 5 super long, detailed replies vs someone with 6 short, generalized replies.  I don't want it to turn into a "who can post more" type thing.
