Here's an alternate idea: a data sheet score.
If and admin sees an excellent data sheet, the admin can give you a point which shows up as your data sheet score. That way people get credit for what really counts, and everything else is just banter. It takes the popularity out of the rep point system, and rewards real value. You want more points? Bust out more data sheets.
To implement this, any member who wanted prior data sheets counted could post links to prior sheets themselves in a dedicated thread from moderator consideration. The thread will get closed in 30 days.
I myself have been mostly bantering on the forum, some really good, some useless, but there are a lot of guys who have added detailed value and I think that there should be an acknowledgment of that value. Of course, there should be a minimal and basic criteria established for what constitutes a valid data sheet. Sound good?
