Sounds pretty good, but unfortunately awarding the most knowledgeable/helpful community members seems flawed.
After all, who needs the reward points more? The knowledgeable/experienced members or the members just starting out in the CG world, who might not be able to give the best advice or constructive criticism? But they're the ones that could use the points to access this site's contents.
But this is assuming that Rep/thanks will be given on a basis that the most helpful, insightful, constructive posts are the ones rewarded. And not the "Nice model man!" (which I'm more than guilty of posting.) which I feel the thread starter will award equally with the Helpful posts... if not more than the helpful posts, depending on how well the individual takes crits... no matter how helpful.
Also, the idea of making a "minimum posts" law so that only people who have above 500, for example, posts can be awarded Rep/Thanks as to try and reduce spamming risks from new member trying to hit "Highest poster status" might result in spamming anyway, as people try to reach the minimum post requirement.... though to best honest, you're going to get spam not matter what you do.

"Um, this isn't Mars. This is Earth."
"Earth? Earth-with-nuclear-weapons Earth?"
"Yes."
