I've been meaning to implement this as I've always wanted to thank many respondents their replies..Now it's here
A great way to show other users we appriciate their comments.

You can actually view a breakdown of the points system + current awards here: Defending the Truth - Experience Ranking This feature still needs a little more tweaking, but medals will be given to those who achieve certain goals whether it be an increase in posts, threads, friends, thank you's, etc. Eventually, I would like to award members with gifts from Defending the Truth (maybe American Express gift cards) for accomplishing certain achievements. This is still in the works..
Thanks for the information!
Are these 'gifts' you have planned only for American members, or do they extend to us all?
I can't wait for my first medal...
