Hey guys. We always have people asking for small tips about how to increase traffics etc. I was thinking we could have a section where high ranked users can post guides etc. All guides have to be made from scratched. And only high ranked users can post. So maybe people with 500posts+ etc
I don't think its a nice idea.. because for posting on a certain topic we should not have rule to have certain no of post .. everyone is free to discuss any topics based on their interest..
1. Why on earth would we want a dedicated section for that when DP covers so many things? They'd be better off going in the appropriate existing sections instead. 2. Number of posts has nothing to do with how knowledgeable someone is. I could write authoritatively about a few topics covered here but there are plenty I couldn't. Post count isn't a measure of what (or how much) you know. And who's to say a true pro in one of those areas isn't a new member or "silent" member who lurks and PMs when they need things but who doesn't post much? I'd rather learn from those who know what they're talking about than those who happen to spend time posting on DP.
vBulletin 4 has a CMS system where you can simply "promote" good posts to the articles section. I suspect we'll make use of that once we get online with vB4. But as jhmattern pointed out, such a system wouldn't be based on how many posts a user has, and instead would be based on the quality of the post/article.
