I don't know if this belongs here, but this is the only thread I have seen +qp suggestions happen in.
As I understood on the tribunal thread of changing the post limit outside vw, people get qp's for being long time members.
In that case I'd like to suggest qp for carcity, as I just realised he's been around for something like 2.5 years and have made over 1600 posts, which seems like a long time to have been a good member of the community in.

I don't think anybody has got a QP for being a long time member, mainly for good posts or just overall contribution, and to be fair, while he has posted a few good things, most of his posts have been in the VW and I fail to see how that's contributing well.

I think I am one of the few who give out qp for overall contributions to HC. It's not actually supported (it is meant for high quality posts only, but high quality is subjective). I will however look into it . I base it on number of posts, overall quality of those posts, and how helpful they are to the community. So length of time has only a little to do with it. Still, over all I will probably give Carcity a qp, because I believe he has done more good then harm.
Edit : I would like to see a few more good posts outside of the wastelands. A good ammount of his posts would poof if the threads he posted in were deleted from the VW. Not that Carcity is not a great addition to HC, but I'd like to see some activity outside the VW.

@Mytical
Thanks for looking into it. I thought the post in ones profile would most often be outside vw, because vw gets deleted after some weeks, having several houndreds, or maybe even thousands of posts in one week seemed too extreme to believe to me.
@William
But doesn't that not just prove Shares point? It is the posts and not the people who get the quality points, however it is the people who gets affected. I think it should be more consistent.

Quality Points are given to the posts, not to the people and I'm sure as hell that moderators do not give QP's based upon who makes the post. Maybe I should be given another QP since I've now been here for 4 years or so?

That is correct William. QP are not given to the person, but to their posts. I feel sometimes we don't give credit where credit is do when somebody post a lot of smaller good posts. That is why sometimes I give out qp for over all contribution.

Let's continue this in the proper thread.
I was just under the impression that people actually got quality points from long term overall contribution, that is being a good long time member, or to say someone you see as part of the community.
I'll copy what you wrote and answer it in the other thread.
Also I suggest quality point to Shares for the exact same reason as Carcity, also I often find Shares points and insight a great contribution in most threads I follow.

No problem with that, that's been done in the past and I see that as a good thing.

In your case though we should give you a penalty for overall contribution

Ok, I try this, just to get some discussion going.
I suggest a -QP for The Death for the following post in the What is Love thread:

You mean different values of it. But if you are on that path why not use strong drugs, if that's the purpose of it?
You'll lose yourself even more completely than with sex.
Bold print is Death's post. Reason: smart-assing without actually knowing what he's talking about.

If you're going to nominate a post for a penalty, at least make it something penalty worthy. Nothing TheDeath ever posts is ever worth a penalty and your reason is pathetic. Being a smart arse and not knowing what he's talking about? Geez, what's next...

Just as a reminder:
QP stands for QUALITY point (post). At least that's what I was told. Smart-assing and not knowing what one's talking about are not really QUALITY characteristics, at least outside of the VW.

Good point JJ. Do tell me in the CoC where it says that penalties should be given for smartarsery or for not know what one talks about? Because that post by TheDeath is NOT penalty worthy and your reasons are pathetic. At least find a post worth a penalty otherwise you're really wasting your time.
There's nothing even remotely penalty worthy in that post. What exactly is your problem with TheDeath? I fight with him a lot but I wouldn't say anything he has written is worth a penalty even if I think it's the stupidest thing I've ever read. Hell, in that case, maybe Xerox should have 100 penalties. Lol only joking. 
Also a QP and a Penalty are two different things. QP's are bonuses and penalties are not (well duh). So do you expect every single post to be QP like or what? If that's the case, then there should be plenty of penalties going around because there's a lot of posts by a lot of people (outisde the VW) that do not classify as QP worthy, at all.

Why don't we spend our time suggesting posts that are meritorious of QPs rather than suggesting posts which should be penalized? Think positively, people. Make this a better place.
And for what it's worth: TheDeath has never posted anything that in my opinion warrants a disciplinary action. I'm glad he's a member of HC; he's a positive contributer; and if he occasionally posts something that seems argumentative or obtuse, who among you can claim absolute innocence in that regard? If we're going to start handing out penalties when someone is obnoxious, I can think of some people who deserve it much more than he does.
For shame.

In the universe it's called QUALITY point; if you get a +QP for a high quality post you may get a -QP for a low quality post. The practise seem to be that you get a -QP only for especially offensive posts.
Death's posts effortlessly fulfills ALL critera;
First and foremost it's offensive to all people who really enjoy sex and lose themselves in it, because Death is suggesting to them to better take drugs instead.
Second, it's ignorant: I don't think Death has any relevant experience either with sex or with drugs or with losing himself except in meaningless posts.
It's a typical case of offending everyone who has that experience by casully bullcrapping.
If that's not worth a -qp I don't know what is.
