I think enabling post count, like many has said before this, is a double-edged sword. Yes, people will probably come and post something, but the invariable troll will also be here as well.. Personally, I kinda like the pace here. Just nice for me... biggrin.gif

Anyways, I do agree on having a "red alert" banner at top announcing book club's existence. But I suggest having that "announcement" banner not only announcing our subforum, but also some activity that we have here. Maybe something on a smaller scale first (as opposed to the "contest" idea), let's just have a book-swap first? Something like, each of us create a (reasonable) book wish list, then we pair up with another person, and the pair needs to get the book for the other person, something like that.

I believe the "book review" thing is already going on. We are already sharing our opinions on books etc, just that we don't have a proper thread, a standard that we follow for reviewing books (thumbs up, star rating system?). I think the books discussion we have now is more interactive, compared to reading a whole review..

I would like to suggest a Text-tag to be rewarded to those that qualifies as below:
- give alot of book reviews thread
- active in the threads being posted (so that it doesn't seem like a copy-pasted from somewhere else, without even reading the book)
- getting alot of +1 for the reviews.

Text-tag something like my --> Shrine.Lowyat.NET Contributor.

There are no set rules of HOW to get the Text-tag.
What I would suggest is that it should be depending on when and how the Moderators decides.

What's the purpose? To encourage people to read more and be active in this section.
It is the same concept as the Contest idea, whereby you do something, you get reward(s).

Of course, it can be either the Text-tag or the Elite-tag; either one is fine.

I like the text tag idea, or maybe a badge or something, like the DC or Female or Keranamu Malaysia tab...

anyways, here are some more imgs i worked on, de-stressing a bit.. tongue.gif
