I'd rather have a member 'voting' system where members can give each other points/votes for quality posts. That way users would have to earn that R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

(For an example, check out http://forums.slickdeals.net/faq.php?faq=sd_faq_item#faq_reputation_faq_item and their reputation system.)

Voting systems are just popularity contests and often abused by members.

 

 Agreed.

And your rank doesn't really mean anything, some people with under 200 posts said a lot more things than people with 2000+ posts.
