You have seen them in surveys, progress bars. I would love to know where I stand to be in the top .5%, 5%, 25% and 50% with regards to the numbers. Are we short a few in getting a reward? Knowing how far we are and maybe we need to put more effort in getting a reward would be nice

PM will not want to do this, they said many times in the past that they want to prevent gamification of the forum, and they won't even let people know exactly how the ranking is calculated.

I also think that (sadly) this will make some people post anything/spam/etc just to get an extra reward...

Not a good idea. Then it will be a race rather than simply helping others

Yeah, I guess could see that happening. People are here to help others and learn.

But then again, there are others who are here just to get a reward.

If you think about, that's a lot of posts for people to get in the top .5%, 5%, 25% and 50% 

Nevertheless, am gratefully for the quick responses to my questions!

yes some people are here purely for community rewards but you have to ask yourself if that few bucks per month is worth the amount of time on these forums

 

the people that do help out do deserve some benefits but you can probably make more as a side job doing something else to save a few bucks a month

As mentioned you could make more money collecting bottles than being active in the community.

 

The percentages I believe will soon be replaced by more generic terms.

The monetary reward is token at best.  Our support is more or less charity.  Those wishing to game the system should look for something else to game.

My thoughts are if you need to know how close you are to the next level you are in it for the wrong reason.  The amount of reward for time spent here helping really does equal charity and volunteering.

This will not happen. I can just see spam posts from people on every thread and it will just make things into a competition. From the money that you "save", you could probably sell lemonade outside of your house and make more money. Besides no matter how you contribute in the community, you are basically guaranteed a reward

Yeah people would probably use this the wrong way a little..

I'm not going to proverbially beat a proverbial dead horse here but yes also think this is not a great idea.
