This idea just popped into my head and it is either brilliant or just plain dumb. Personally I am leaning more towards the brilliant range. ;) It is fairly common practice in a lot of forums to award "status points", "status titles". By adding something like that to all WP user accounts you would be creating incentive to answer other users forum questions. This would probably reduce the WP Team's workload in regards to answering random forum questions. Personally I feel that I would take on more random WP forum questions if my user account displayed something like this for example:

Username
Member
WP SuperStar (yeah LOL, but it gets the point across)
