Hey I had an interesting idea that might help encourage some better posting around here.

I thought it would be cool if each week (or maybe each month) each of the community reps like Bayohne, Rukkiri, Fernehalwes etc, could choose a thread that they liked the most and give special recognition to the person who wrote the OP (maybe a lodestone history entry?)

This would encourage people to try to write more meaningful and constructive posts, and would also help us to get to know the personalities of each of the reps a bit better by seeing the kinds of threads they like to read (I know it's your job but I'm sure you enjoy reading some of the posts!?)

Also think this would help encourage people to post things in other forums besides general chat, because I know community reps read threads in all the forums and they might find good topics in those forums that most people overlook. If reps highlight these good threads people might start to look in these forums more knowing that there is better quality posts there.
