Laudes system

[sonic]

Speaking as a relative newcomer, I liked the laudes system. On many forums, the authority, reliability, and seniority are often based on post-count of users. I was pleasantly surprised when I first came here that the laudes system allowed me to see users whom other users found had gone above and beyond.

Even though after over a year of posting I only had 3 laudes , I've got to agree with Rotvndvs. It's a valuable way of rewarding other users who have proven themselves to be reliable / incisive / helpful.
