I was just thinking that if all moderators had a small banner/image that linked to the how to give rep guide in their siggy it would help to get the word out to newer members about what reputation is.
There are quite a few people here on cK that have been here a while and, in my opinion, deserve to be at least an official clraik rank just due to their community engagement and conversation.
Could be an image that maybe says something like,
"Did you find a post insightful?
That script or program kick ass?
A guide help you find your way?
A member help you in game or real life?
No matter the age of the post think of +repping them today!"
This way its just a one time addition to a sig, can link directly to the rep guide, no mods have to really go back and think about bumping the board, and it is a frequent reminder about rep and that rep doesn't need to only be given for programs used and guides made.
