How do you reward your members so they keep posting?

[Fred.]

I'm wondering how you reward your members so they keep posting on your forum?

What I do if they post great content I like that post and I also try to interact in the conversation.
I also have Trophies set for certain things.

I'm looking for more tips to reward members.
All tips are welcome.

Medals, Extra Privileges/Permissions.

I don't provide any rewards at all.

I feature the best threads, which in turn increases their Featured Thread count, leading to more trophies and ultimately permissions.

Hmmm, So it's all about Permissions... I think I already give my members enough permissions.
They are not hitting any limitations or something...

I offer them user upgrades also which has extras like profile background/cover, extra permissions, extra trophies/medals.
