I'd like to just point out one... hole: Multi-accounters.Well make it so you gain trust the most you post/the longer time you post without getting banned.
For instance day one you can only post ten or so times, day two about twelve, you use all of day two's posts and not get banned about sixteen and so on.
The other thing is multi-accounters already exist, now you'll just make it so they'll not only get banned but they can only spam a certain threashold a day, limiting their capabilities.

Lol, I could be considered of less value 'cause I was confused and posted threads in the wrong forum?Well if you do it several times a day then yeah, it's hard to get confused that often.Posted by: ctjl96
accidental/unjust bans could foil this idea quickly.If they happened every five minutes maybe, but I have a feeling that accidental/unjust bans aren't that common, plus if they're reworking the system they could have it so there's a appeal button to bans rather than just a remove that strikes the ban from the record.

Agreed, there are plenty of people without high titles who contribute greatly to bungie.net,The idea isn't to say that higher titled members are the only ones who make quality posts, it's to say that higher titled members are the most trusted to make non-rule breaking posts, because they've "proved" themselves.
Ok let's say I was super paranoid that the barber would cut off my ear while cutting my hair, now there's this barber who's been cutting my hair for years and I trusted him because he hasn't cut off my ear yet, but there's also a new girl that needs to get some experience cutting hair now given the choice of who I would trust to cut my hair I'd go for the guy who's been cutting it for years.
Now the girl could be exceptionally competant, but I don't know this girl, I've never seen her cut hair, I can't be sure if she won't cut my ear off at any point.
Now, my opinion.
I like the concept, newer members tend to obsess and post too much rather often, to the point where it would actually be doing them a favour to prevent them from posting past a certain threashold. (I know this from experience.)
They also just want to post, which means without a limit they'll just go into any thread and post any random comment related to the topic without there necessarily being any value to that comment.
Plus with the limitation of post count when a ban is dished out it'll give them even more incentive not to break the rules, given how much they love posting, not to mention that with the initial limit they'll probably avoid more of the flaming arguments not to waste their precious posts.
ALL that being said, I don't think this'll work.
Or, if it does work, it has a high probability of having a unforeseen "site ruining" feature.
It's just too theoretical to see how it'll pan out.
