I'm going to repeat just a little bit of information about how the rating system will change, but please keep in mind I can't commit to a date. There's only one of me.
Our post-of-the-month system is manual, and the new rating system option will automate this. Rather than rating a message you'll nominate it for post-of-the-month. The number of nominations will be displayed with the message. Nominated posts will appear in the post-of-the-month forum. Winners of post-of-the-month will see a little icon (a star or some such) displayed with the rest of their member information. The star would also be a link to that message. Someone who acquired a bunch of stars would be an amazing individual.
The software will make possible other time periods than just a month. There could be post-of-the-day, week, month, year, decade. I'm unsure how best to take advantage of this possibility right now.
