Titles, points, postcounts etc dun mean nuts imho, other than an ego boost for some odd people.

Perhaps a scheme which makes paid service requests more transparent ?
A member posts a request. Upon obtaining a Coder to help, member will need to fill up a field in the service request thread stating which Coder is handling the job. The Coder then will need to ack in the same thread, else it is not considered valid and offer is considered open. Upon completion of work, Coder fills up a field ( "Work completed" ), and Member has to acknowledge in the thread....

Hmm...ok it's late and i dun really know where i am going with this .......
