Make things "unlockable", so-to-speak. For example, once you earn x amount of trust, you can use a certain avatar.
Others:
- Ability to create a group
- Ability to create a thread
- Ability to create a thread with a poll
- Ability to post images within a thread
- Ability to report
etc...
It's difficult to think of examples when we have no idea what the next version of Bungie.net will look like or include, but you can probably see what I'm getting at.
I quite like that idea. It would give members a far greater incentive to positively contribute, and to avoid bans. I do, however, disagree with needing to "unlock" the ability to create threads (as Ryno3 mentioned earlier). Members should be able to join, ask a question and leave, without being forced to contribute to other discussions.
Members could be limited to creating threads in certain forums, such as only being able to create threads in the Game Forums and the Community Forum, until they have enough trust (although the trust required should still remain quite low). While members may simply want to ask a question about a game, or the community, before leaving, I can see little reason for a member to visit The Flood purely to create threads, without any intention of contributing to other discussions.
I'm not saying I'm necessarily in favor of making the creations of threads "unlockable" in any forums (as, although it may reduce spam/trolling/pointless topics, it still seems slightly unfair, and there could be instances where a new member may wish to quickly ask a legitimate question) but, if they were to be "unlockable," I would certainly not make that the case in all forums.
