TL;DR is at the bottom, but if you have the time this is a post to read and discuss.
Will the Top 100 poster system ever be fixed? I know that it is also possible for post count to be removed completely, but I think the best posters (and posts) deserve recognition by the community as a whole. A person who writes long, useful threads and replies should be worthy of being a Top 100 poster.
Or... maybe ROBLOX could add to the Top 100 system by adding to it. Maybe a ROBLOX badge to go on the profile of a Top 100 poster? Maybe player points could be awarded to Top 100 posters in a way?
Another possible idea for ROBLOX to implement would be a voting system (such as the thumbs up and thumbs down voting system on games) to the forums. A thread or a post could be voted on and would receive popularity.
Remember, these are all ideas, so don't freak out.
The possibility of removing post count entirely has been brought up in the past, but it has never been implemented. One of the pros to removing post count would be less spam by users attempting to 'spam' their forum post count, which would also lead to better, more detailed threads. However... what if the new player points update played a role on the ROBLOX forums? What if instead of receiving 'just another' forum post to your post count... you received a player point? It's an idea. Or... what if a thread received so many 'likes' that the creator of the thread received a player point?
These are all ideas. Some are just opinions. What are your thoughts? Do you have any new ideas? Post your thoughts/opinions/ideas below. Thanks for reading.
TL;DR: Player points could be added to the forums. Or they could replace post count... or be added to the post count. Top 100 poster system could play a role in this. |

post count and players points are nothing alike, it wouldn't work if one replaced the other. |

That's true, but they could be. |

@DrShibe
Good idea. A certain number of posts gives you a player point.
Also, after all of your criticism and ideas are taken into suggestion I will write a new and improved thread. |

This could belong in S&I, but it also fits in ATR because it talks of the features of ROBLOX. (Player points, the forums, post count, etc.) |

Wrong forum and NO. Player points shouldn't be added to the forums. NEVER replace the post count. |

@H3X
Did you even read the thread? Also, read my post before this one... the thread can belong in ATR because it talks of 'the features' of ROBLOX. |

Ideas, constructive critcism, or discussion would be nice. |

Most posts on ATR aren't even relevant to... anything, and yet you are criticizing me for creating a thread that fits two different ROBLOX forums.
S&I is a very inactive forum and does not receive as much attention as it should, by the way. |

It's a bad idea anyway. |

What is a bad idea? Plus, you can't say an idea is bad just because you don't personally like it. Give legitimate reasons why you think an idea is bad before you say it is bad. |

People can make multiple accounts and like the posts in forums and get player points. |

You make a good point, but accounts have to be more than a day old to post on the forum. I know that people could make accounts a day before they post a thread, but there must be a way for moderators to monitor the thread being spammed - like they monitor threads for inappropriate content.
Do you think there is any possible way around spamming of likes/dislikes? |

The summer interns (at least from reading the blog) are set on fixing and improving the website and the mobile version of ROBLOX. |

If I make a new thread I'll have to add DrShibe's idea of:
x number of forum posts = x number of player points |

Seems fair enough. What about spammers, though? |
