@Jacques Caspi

I like the reason behind the idea but I think the idea itself is very bad because, if you implement it, you risk having 10,000 members replying "Welcome" when a new member/poster introduces him/herself. That would be terrible. Also, I think that the members who post and reply the most do so not because they want to find customers for whatever they have to sell or get any sort of profit but first and foremost because they want to give back and help. They'll take the time to write thoughtful and detailed replies if they can and if it helps, irrespective whether they get a reward or not. That's at least my case. I imagina that you guys want to encourage the best behavior that benefits the community.

You guys know who the biggest posters/repliers are. If you want to reward us (and I'm by far not one of the biggest), why don't you just send us a personal message to thank us and, if you want, give us a gift as well. If you want to give something, I'd suggest a discount on BPCON for example. I don't know if it'd make any difference to them and if they'd go with or without discount but having the likes of @Chris Seveney, @Joe S., @Jay Hinrichs, @Alecia Loveless, @Matthew Paul or @Henry Clark at BPCON would definitely add value to the event.

Thanks for your feedback Mike, this is super useful

Hi everyone!

I am the Director of Memberships at BiggerPockets. I am researching using a point rewards system for Pro members, where you get points for every calculator you use, every forum post you respond to, etc. These points would eventually win you prizes (a free book, a discount to BPCON). I am posting here to ask the community if they like this idea.

Hi community,
I just closed on my first investment property and it is a house hacking project. What learnings have you had that you wish you knew after closing your first deal?!

Hi community!
I am looking to do a pretty thorough remodel on a condo in Denver, CO. I don't have a go-to contractor so I am looking for recommendations of people who do a good job and charge a fair price. Thanks for your help!

I am helping my brother in law find a lender in Colorado for his first home purchase. What are the important things I am looking for or considering when trying to find a lender for a primary residence?
