Good idea. I also think that it's a way to see what others think of you. I know it's not supposed to matter, but maybe it'll make people get their heads out of their arses. "Boy, these people think I'm a bastard child; I better be a good little boy now." Not like that's going to change anyone that drastically. It might. Good idea anyway. I give Cliff a 100%. I give myself a 30.

Ok, first I must apologize - I haven't been following this thread for a few days since I was a bit busy implementing the new search. Now that I have been catching up, let me make a few remarks. First of all, it will be a rating system, not a voting system. This means that a rating can be both negative as positive as well as anything in between (for instance from -5 to +5). So for instance if someone has gotten 10 positive ratings, he needs to get at least 10 negative ratings for him to get into the "danger zone". Nobody will be able to see who rated who. If you rate a person, your old rating for this person will be replaced (so effectively, you can rate a person only once, but you can change your rating for this person). Banning will not be an automatic process. The rating system is just an indicator (for yourself and me) of what the majority thinks of you. A rating is never a guarantee that you will or will not be banned. You can have a positive rating and still be banned (to prevent people from "using up credits"). However, a rating of -5 will almost certainly mean being banned, since nobody found it worthwhile to give you a positive rating. Ratings "age", which mean that your rating always reflects the past few months or so. I currently think it's best if you can only view your own rating (I dont't want you to be "labeled"). And last but not least, this is still just an idea so there's no guarantee I will ever implement such a thing.

Glad I read the whole thread. I agree - the rating system should be mostly hidden. You get to see only your own score and the administrator weilds the axe A suggestion would be a system similar to the one they use on Slashdot. The score is your "karma" and you win/lose karma through moderation. Randomly, you permit qualified users to mod individual posts up or down. Any registered user can meta-moderate (i.e. mod the moderator). Check out their FAQ here. They also have the source for their forum available. I'm sure the logic would be fairly easy to port to any scripting tool of choice. I'm not saying go to their whole nested forum, but the logic of moderation could surely be applied on UBB I would think. You could even extend that to filter comments as Archie suggested. A logged in user would set a threshold that would automagically skip posts that were modded down for famebait, redundancy, etc.

Sounds good to me! I try to stay clear of the flame-suit-required threads, yet want to do something about those flame-offenders.
