TL;DR: Supreme, active members or good threads should have their content promoted by MCM, like what Reddit does. Currently MCM uses rel="nofollow" on all external links, which means that it doesn't promote good content. (Although I would want you to read the post, before commenting).
I think that people who post good content, or are very active, should get promoted by MCM.
Currently MCM uses rel="nofollow" on all external links, which tells search engines which are indexing MCM, to not follow this link. Not following a link means that it won't get indexed by search engines, and therefore not promoted by MCM.
This is very good to prevent spammers from gaining anything by just posting their link all over MCM, but I personally think that MCM should be promoting good content, or at least the content posted by high quality users.
I believe that we can look to Reddit, to see how to do it properly. Currently, Reddit by default has a rel="nofollow" on all external links, so spammers don't profit from the huge online presence which is Reddit. But! When a link becomes popular (gets enough upvotes), Reddit removes the rel="nofollow" from the link, to promote good organic content.
I think MCM should do the same, and I propose these 3 ways of doing it:
His website isn't getting promoted by MCM, even though in my opinion, it really should. This would be a great way of promoting good services, links, and new ideas.
It really wouldn't be that hard to moderate either. Especially not with the 3rd way of doing it, that way it would be controlled by the community. And as always, if moderation don't like the thread, they can take it down for any reason they please. (As stated in the ToS).

- A Supreme perk. This would be an amazing perk, if not the best perk of the ones available.
- For active users, if a user has reached x posts and/or x reactions, they can use it. This could also be based on reputation, so if a user has good reputation, they will presumably also post good content.
- When a thread has reached a certain amount of positive (winner or like) reactions.
