Designated "Expert" Forum Users?
ataradov:
Are there even enough (or any) people that want to bother passing some test to get a badge on the internet forum? I would be suspicious of anyone wanting to do that in a first place.

I personally like the "Thank User" feedback to see that someone actually read my post and that my 2 cents was actually worth 2 cents, although not completely definitive, at least it is positive feedback. As far as considering it a badge or a trophy, I am 69 yo and could not care less about such things, especially on a forum by people that I don't even know. (Maybe if I was still 12...)
As far as Expert badges, or similar, the administration, if done correctly, would be a nightmare for Dave to ensure that the system was viable, let alone maintainable. I often refer to myself as "Jack of all trades, master at none." so there is no circumstance where I would be considered "Expert". Competence, however would be a trait that I would respect, but in my years of working with others, their competence is something that is earned over a long period of time and actually working with them; no test will do that for you.
In conclusion, I voted no on the Expert status idea and get rid of thanks count on every post on the other thread.
Again, my 2 cents...

When I was an interviewer, I never resorted to, or needed to resort to, such tricks.
When I was an interviewee, if I came across tricks, I knew I didn't want to work there.
Fundamentally there are too many interesting and relevant interview techniques that trickery is an unnecessary egoboo.

Yes and no. I think you have to seperate two things here: eagerness / enthousiasm and being able to do the work. When I interview a candidate for an engineering position, I always let the candidate do a test to see if the candidate has the knowledge level required for the job. I have come across some very motivated people but when it came to doing engineering work, little to nothing came out of their heads & hands.
