There are many people who are using this connection website. Some of them just only register in this program and will not provide any feedback or provide a few feedbacks, some of them will provide several feedbacks which migh change product and enhance the product development a lot. Right now, people who are active in this connection website are consider same as people who are not very active. I recommend that you give value to people who are active and give them more benefits.

People who are active in forums and newsgroups in Microsoft would recognise by their activities and they migh promote as MVP or get other Microsoft benefits. But in this connection website there is not such a thing. I recommend that you do as this:

Details (expand)

Production Release

for each feedback or bug report the admin (Microsft ) will add a rating (normal,good,verygood,excellent).
Normal:feedback that are general
Good:feedback that are helpful
verygood: feedback that improve the product funtionality
excellent: feedbak that will change future of product and came with new idea of innovations.
e.g.
please make color of Microsoft Connect website to blue(normal)
Microsoft Connect website should add new feature to be accessable by mobile phone,in this case you could ...(excellent)
Then people with higher rating and more excellent and more feedback would recommend to involve in other Connection Website Program.
Example of benefit: Microsoft Windows 7 Technical Preview was avalable privatly by Microsoft Connection Website. Many user asked you how can I join Windows 7. Here it is , if they are very active in other connections and give several excelents then why you are not invite them to this program? In otherhand , if you have a look at member of Windows 7 Technical Preview there are people who are invited but they didn't provide any feedbacks or activities, I don't say you get them out of program but you could also invite people that are active in other connections and I am sure many of them help product to do well and add more features.
For active Members you should give reward by promoting them to other private and invitation only programs such as Windows 7 Technical Preview or in future in Windows Operating System. People who are active in one connection and do great , then they probably could be great help for other connections. Their Witnesses are their feedbacks and their excelent mark(that I suggested in beggening). Also you could find more MVPs and enhance your products a lot more.

Thank you for yous suggestion. Its a good idea.

No immediate plans to have some kind of reputation on Connect, we will certainly like to have one in the future, probably integrated with the other systems used at Microsoft Web Sites (such as Forums).

Right now, if you provide good feedback the administrator for that connection may consider you for future (by invitation only) engagements.

Thanks,

Thank you for your command.

You right if a person do well in one connection then connection admin will promote him or her to higher level in that connection. My suggestion also apply that if someone do good in overal let say in 5 connection then be introduced to other connections. Example user A participate in Office, Internet Explorer and OneCare. Then doing good, then it should be recommended to Windows Team as well.

Please note that Private Commands also should be counted.
