Hopefully this will help highlight the posts that are generally useful. We are also trying to figure a way to reward those folks who help out others on this forum. I am thinking of a weekly prize for the person who receives the most points. Any suggestions?

Hi, Zafir.

Your idea seems to be interesting. However, I sometimes found that
some people posted the same question which the other people asked
and already got the right answer.

So,
1) If you ask the question here, did you check "search" or
"the source code section" of this site?

Even though someone answered the questoin, this question was already
posted and the right answer was done.
I suppose that you had better consider such a situation.
As for me, I need the real state-arts-of solution.

Will you divide each section like VC, Java and VB?
If so, I will focus more on Java?

Last, please don't rate this suggestion? :-)

Regards.

That's one of the issues I hope 'rating' will help resolve. People do indeed ask questions that have already been answered a number of times. Sometimes someone will even ask a question that does not contain enough information for someone to give an answer.

Here are the two ways I believe rating will help

1. Posts with higher rating would serve as a knowledge base.
2. Questions that do not contain enough information or where the user has been too lazy to do her/his own research could be assigned a negative rating.

I didn't quite get your question about dividing the sections but maybe the following addresses your question. I am working on a script that will show the person with the highest score (indicating a helpful and knowledgeable person) the previous day, week and month. These will be computed on a per board (vc,vb,java) basis as well as overall.
