I posted elsewhere in the past about not liking post count, especially when the standard for having one count is low enough that meaningless posts can easily qualify. As a corollary to that, I'd like to suggest some form of recognition based on the quality / value of members contributions rather than simple quantity of posts / activity level. Maybe something like an invitation-only tournament where a maximum of X members receive invitations, with X being a relatively small number, and where fewer can be invited if ther aren't enough deserving members. I don't care at all if the invitations are done subjectively. In fact, that's what I'm suggesting.
