I thought there should be a credit/ donation system to future version of w3t.
In order to activate the whole community become more competitive, a credit / donation system could be a right choice.
User can then vote on the message which is useful or unuseful to them. Then a accumulated credit should be stored and counted within each message. The author can then know how their article/post is good for user.
Otherwise, according to the users' behavior, ther others can vote on the others. When you get a higher credit, a user' s level / grade was up and they get more rights on the community or board.
