Ratio for requests filled/leeched...?

Browsed the topics in forum and don't know if it's been discussed, but possibly implementing a count of requests FiLLED/LEECHED in user profiles/top list (like the top thank list) to recognize members (regulars, new, old) who are giving back to the community. It takes time and effort for certain users to fill releases (obscure or not) whether they have very good or just basic resources to do so. Thanks in advance for the consideration.

Such a system would be difficult right now and should be mostly reflected as thanks in the profile IMO

Hierarchies suck. That's why we live in a corrupt world

This is a tough decision.
Some users have access to huge stuff, some other don't.
If a point system is setup, a good balance would be to reward x10 (maybe even more) for users supporting forum care, like:
- reuploading dead links
- notify request dupe or post rlz suggestion (flac version or other group)
- moderation posts (when user forget to follow rules, mostly missing URL)
- notify rlz info (dupe, bad track, etc.)

I think again the point of this forum is centred around requests, there is going to be lots of post viewing, link clicking and whatever, not to mention that requests are made in open view for the viewers for the purpose of getting posts filled for all requests. So adding a ratio banner or display counter is of little purpose other then to the admin, who could find out that info (or other users also) by looking up the history of the users posts.
Isn't the whole point to make a visible request, so as many people see it on the forum and can lead to successful fill up? This may also help other users who may have wanted or are looking for a request who can benefit by another's request aswell as avoiding duplicate requests?
Also, combining with the max 5 req rule, aswell as searching the forum before posting, and with multiple discussions already had earlier about whether the request forum should be sped up or slowed down in volume, and whether the request section should be expanded to include more...
tracking the behaviour on how people view posts is sort of useless to anyone based on how this forum works. It's not as though there is a reward for the top fill merchants.
