I think I know what you are getting at.

Our forum has a few of these, typically they use the email digest to see what is going on, but don’t post all that often. When they do, it is useful and accurate content.

We also have what you might call “magpies”. They are very active, comment on damn near every topic which appears, quote and distribute likes as if there is no tomorrow, but other than causing thread drift, they don’t actually do much.

I would say just bump your helpful members to the higher trust level.

The magpies… well, that is a different issue.
