For at least the last few months
the quality of writing, even on the 'Best' page has been pretty dismal, we need an incentive to lure funny, witty, intelligent people back here. So here's my idea;

An option on the QOTW, maybe even on the other boards too, to contribute a small amount towards a prize fund, say around £5-10. At the end of the week the member with the highest ranking post collects most of the money, while a small amount goes to B3ta.

I know that there will be problems with things like cheating, and setting something like this up to begin with (possibly through paypal or a similar site?), but I think it would help some of us to get off our lazy backsides and put some effort in.

In what way do you not like it?
Because it would encourage cheating, and maybe push some of the free but maybe even better posts from the Best page? You're probably right, but if they gave it a go for a while, just as an option, I'd like to see what happens.

I wish to preserve my amateur QOTW status, thank you
Good day, sir.
