You mean something along the lines of a "like" system? Yah, one of those would be ENDLESSLY helpful.Dave70 said:Lets scrap the post count system altogether in favour of a points system. Let your peers be the judge. I'm quite willing to have my meter wound back to zero and be judged on the quality of my contributions to brewing, jocularity or controversy.
At least it will discourage worthless posts for the sake of racking up the count.

I stopped asking questions on here a while ago because the only way I thought I would really find out is to just brew. I ask questions on here thse days from time to time about trivial ****, when I want a few different opinions.punkin said:Been reading all the State and National brew comp threads lately and i have taken note of all the absolute brewing champs that have just a couple or thirty or a hundred posts here.

I often wonder when reading these things, about the reasoning behind all that. Are these the people that read books and read posts where applicable and take that information away and chew on it and apply it and see what happens?
Obviously.
But they on the whole, seem to be the ones who don't engage in the day to day banter or the back and forth discussions on the site.
I often wonder on that and wonder if anyone else has thoughts on it. If nothing else, it's a very stark reminder to newbies that a high post count has nothing to do with quality of advice, but taken further it could come down to the opposite. :blink:
