Maybe some sort of social currency system like "Yoinks": you make something someone else wants, they "yoink" it. You like something someone else made, you "yoink" it. The most "yoinked" items rise to the top, and then maybe a WotC staffer looks at the top one each month or week or something and does a Pro Game Design revision on it. Works something like a Digg system or a Twitter system: the more people Following your work, the more your stuff is probably worth a look-see.There's also a potential payment element. If your stuff get used in a PoD book, you get a little stipend for it. You might never make a living off of it, but $5 here and there might add up to free membership, or a free PoD book, or, heck, just an extra set of breadsticks for your gaming group this weekend.There's a lot of ways out there in the internet world to measure what people are doing. Heck, a good chunk of 'em are right at the top of the thread. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Facebook it, Digg it, Tweet it, Yoink it (okay, that sounds unbelievably sexual, but I think you get the idea), whatever. I know I'd be more active with 4e stuff if I got something out of it, be it community huzzahs or $5 maybe each month, or WotC themselves coming down, looking at it, seeing that It Is Good, and tinkering with it themselves.</blockquote>
