As example:

I feel like this would be a good time to mention that I feel like we should introduce a rank similar to trusted. For example: super user.

Possible perks?

1. Of course, a super cool rank.
2. Top priority (when it comes to applications?).
3. A userbar (depends if this will be made or not).
4. Getting their own section where they can talk to other people will the exact same rank.

Why should we introduce this?

1. Increase the amount of good quality posting, and an excellent alternative to awards as awards aren't a feasible idea since it's broken.
2. People will be encouraged to post more actively, therefore increasing productivity.
3. Increased productivity= more users are more likely to join.

Possible criteria?

Well, it could be anything really, up to staff.

1. A certain amount of posts within a given time?
2. A certain amount of reputation within a given time?
3. Good community standing?
4. No warning points, sets exemplary behavior?

What do you think of this idea?
