No single post would be designated that it is going to be the post of the week, it will all just come down to which one ends up being the longest. So for the post whores it would all be a guessing game.

Contests could really liven this place up and I'd love to have the chance to win an iPad
However, just like the rep thing I see plenty of opportunities for abuse. My concern about the longest thread of the week is what's to stop the thread starter from constantly posting in their own thread with either a thinly veiled bump or the same regurgitated dribble. One could start a " best ass " thread and continually bump it with hot linked images off google.
Perhaps adding a rule like the thread starter can only post a maximum of 50% in their thread would help. One person with multiple fake nics causing fake drama always made for long threads but I don't see how that would be fair in a contest.
Great idea and I hope it gets thought through so everyone can have some fun
