I’ve been trying to create communities that are missing and filling them with content as much as I can. That’s obviously not scalable as one person, so I try to encourage others via commenting.

Any thoughts around the idea of points (Similar to Karma) and seeing weekly/monthly ranking of content creating users?

Light hearted competition, and encourages contributing > lurking.

If you don’t like the idea, please share your suggestions. I’m just trying to think of ways to encourage contribution and capitalize on the hot iron we have going on now. :)

    I definitely prefer no overall karma count. Facebook does a thing with a top contributor label next to peoples’ name in groups which could work. Maybe something fairly easy to attain such as ‘Active in community’ might be useful.

    I think the less competitive the incentives the better as it just drives behavior that negatively impacts groups as a whole.
