I would be interested in seeing how you would be able to determine who got promoted to a usergroup based on question answering. (Which I thought was the reason for the default ladder system.)

I say this because you would first need to implement a new system on the site to allow users the ability to choose if their post is a question or an answer. I mean you couldn't just give it to users you feel deserve it because wouldn't that be biased? The only way around being prejudice in a system like that would to have it automated. To make it automated, the system would need to be able to read how many questions you have answered....successfuly. (Time to implement the reputation system..only modified maybe?)

The coder and designer titles dictate what users have done in regards to physical releases.

If you want to also implement a system for users that don't donate any work for installation, but do spend their time answering questions, go for it. I for one am not against it. I am just interested in how it would be determined who gets the promotional title.
