i like both CC's and razrbakcrzy's suggestions. i belong to a chainmailling board and we just went through some what of a disaster when trying to rank members. the old system seemed like the more posts you made, the more knowlgeable you were. it didn't reflect any accual skill at all. the new system involves a ranks like kabizter (sp?), master speaker, Grand master speaker, although the highest rank was still kept at Anceint Forge as kind of an honor for being around for so long. we also showed how many articles or submittions we've made.
in short, i don't think the suggestions mentioned before would give these problems. so i vote for them.
