So I'm torn. I know it's a good idea, but for the most part I like the way things are now, even though it does irritate to me to no end the means people will go to to cheat the system. I haven't seen it in action, so I know I'm jumping the gun on forming opinion, but user nominations just sounds a little bit too arbitrary not to mention time-consuming. Maybe I'm totally off the mark with where you're going with this idea, though.
So I like the post count system, but part of me wants you to stick it the spammers. I'm just not sure. Okay, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'd rather you keep it the old way.
