    Get Reputation by marking threads as resolved

    If you want people to mark threads as resolved then reward them for it with reputation or something.
    If what I said was helpful, give me rep!

    How about no, since that's NOT what the reputation system is for.

    Re: Get Reputation by marking threads as resolved

    How about a button that only the thread starter can click on which marks the thread as resolved?

    Doh!

    EDIT: Last time I checked the FAQ the only way you could mark it as resolved was be adjusting the title

    Marking threads Resolved is a plausible recommendation and not a compulsion, though it should be.

    When so many people help others or questioners, doesn't it make the OPs responsibilty to mark them resolved. It will eventually help those who make a habit of searching before posting a query.

    Forums are not meant for getting Reps, but for sharing the knowledge.

    EDIT: Sorry, but still
