Reward System: Point based

[Valkyre]

I've noticed that most boards that have a type of reward system for it's members tend to have more people sticking around. I've seen some methods such as "Karma" work, where it has a point or number below the name of a user in the () fields, then has a smile or something to that degree to the left of it. A mod or admin can grant this 'karma' to it's users as a reward for good posts, and it also shows other members kind of how good they are. Therefore, more people strive to make good posts. The only hack I've seen like this is for UBB, so I thought someone should take up the project for vB. Here's an example of what I mean:

That's a smile reward-based system, you could always use text, or some other graphical repesentation to that degree. Anyone up for it?
