Yeah I dunno, I'm not sure incentivising posting would be a good thing. I'd much prefer less, more thoughtful posts rather than incentivising short, low effort posts.
Yeah I think you're right. I never was into UseNet, but I was heavy into internet forums at times and you didn't visit just to browse, you went to chat, have discussions, help people. It's a different mindset but I would like to think we can do that here.
I think voting on posts changes the environment from the forum style, it can make people more hesitant to post, but overall I would love if people visited with the intent to participate instead of passively consume.
