New user here. It seems to me there's a bit of a Catch-22 with the anti-leech policy and the hidden content. On the one hand, you're asked to make meaningful posts (no "thanks") but on the other hand you have to reply in order to see hidden content, and most replies are just useless from what I've seen.
Why not encourage or require users to actually give their feedback after they have seen the content and reviewed it? This feedback could be provided by editing the original reply. It could be as simple as saying if the method still works (yes, I know there's also "rate leak"), or it could be more elaborate like a rating out of 10, or mentioning if the content is useful, relatively new, unknown, sophisticated, etc. Anything to help other users determine how good the content is, because let's be honest, there are some pretty unimpressive posts out there. To make it easier, you could also implement a star rating system, where posts with the highest ratings would be at the top. Just some suggestions.
