I had another idea today. I originally posted it here, but then I realized it qualified for this quest. It has to do with the whole saint hood debate. Maybe we need a better formula for determining saint hood. Alas, it would involve differentiating posts into three (or four) categories:
  1. Question.
  2. Answer.
  3. Comment
  4. (null)
Then each post type could be treated differently. We could adjust the XP (and the Saintlist) to encourage posting Questions and Good Answers, and avoid overlly rewarding the Comment's, like "This was cool!" (In other words, its ok to post that kind of thing, but it shouldn't increase your XP or anything.)
