I wonder if there's a way to do a promoted posts kind of thing....
Like, when you visit the RB web site there could be a box for promoted posts where users could nominate forum posts that are particularly interesting or informative to be posted on the web site.
Or rather, the nomination happens in the forum interface and the posts that are selected would then appear on the web site under a Promoted Posts or User Highlights section.
That way when people write something awesome or informative it can get bumped up without Nick having to ask us to write up a whole article on a topic.
That's a great idea. Are you thinking of a manual curated process? Or trying for something more automatic? Just recently we were kicking around the idea of some sort of like system. What if users could like posts, but there's no tally tied to users. Instead, it could be used to promote the more well received posts.
Otherwise, how would you propose it works?
