Some sort of rating sytem on answers or feedback about the question asked.  Maybe the author if the question and readers can rate the feeback based on its relevance and helpfulness. 
 
I see a huge number of views on questions but very little responses, with a rating system or a simple tumbs up or down icon, reader who may not want to comment can still contribute and add feedback by simple clicking the thumb up or down or assigning the comment a rating.  Obviously only available to those who are logged in.
 
www.azcentral.com has a very quick and easy format on their articles in which readers can quickly thumb up or down without having to write a comment.

Startup Nation had this, back when it started, with member ratings. It became problematic when people started rating members on personal issues. There was discussion and the concept was dropped. The number for "lurkers" also was a topic, at one time. I`m not so sure that the key motivator to actually participate in the forums is whether those who do participate have a rating. :-) I think there just are a lot of people who like to read but don`t feel they`d like to write something.

I agree, the rating system will have issues and did. I also remember that. I think the most value and what you should base a question or post on is an actual response. ( Hi Craig- loved the web site!!...you guys are so cool!!!)

Great feedback guys, it always helps to hear the other perspective sometimes.  Kudos for StartUp Nation for having then adjusting based on user feedback.

I thought I read in one of the forums that some sort of rating system was coming back online, along with some other new stuff as well.
