It sounds like a really good system to me. Thanks for coming up with it.

My only question though is what constitutes a helpful post? Being that this is a poker forum, are those posts automatically considered highest for rep points or what? From being an active member here I know that at least 80 percent of our posts aren't poker related at all, and NDN has thanked me on several occasions for "quality posts" that aren't related to poker at all. So I just wondered if there were some guidelines, mainly for our newest members curious about how the system works.

Also I suppose it's possible to increase your tier after some time?
