Rank & Points Based on Contribution, Not Just Likes

Problem:
The current ranking and point system is primarily based on likes and activity volume, which encourages shallow engagement and popularity contests.

Proposal:
Introduce a contribution-based point system that rewards meaningful actions within the community.

Example contribution actions:

• Answer marked as helpful → +10
• Replying to a new user → +3
• Article fully read (high engagement) → +5
• Comment thread with responses → +1 per reply
• Invalid user report → –3

Recommended features:

• Role progression based on total contribution points
• Extendable logic for scoring (via UI or filters/hooks)
• Support for hidden/internal points (e.g., in private areas)

Why this matters:
A contribution-based system motivates quality participation, encourages deeper discussions, and builds a more respectful, expert-driven community.
