Hi all hope you are well. A thought just occurred to me....is it possible to give reputation points to a member who has made a suitable contribution to the daniweb community, in a way that is not specific to any individual post. for example if a member has written an interesting blog, or has contributed in some way to the site and its members - albeit not in a post (therefore not in a thread), can I give them rep for that (without finding a post of thiers and commenting in the rep points why I gave them the rep)?? if not, would it be a good idea to have such a system in place? Hope that makes sense, waffled on a little there lol. Thank you for your time!
