Trust me, I have ways to ban people from the forum even if they have a dynamic ip-address.

I think it is a good idea too. However, I was "banned" from the MR2 Forum when I did nothing wrong. I had even made several very complimentary posts, besides inguiries. One guy emailed me saying I was banned because I didn't 'have' and MR2. He didn't think it was right because several others on the forum didn't either. He went on to say, he really thinks it was because I was a threat to the members rides. I hope if we DO get a rating system, it will be based on people being dillweeds instead of people just reading up on something they are interested in (even if their car is way faster! )

We're not rating him, we're rating each other. Oh, you mean... nevermind.

I like the idea, maybe make the set posts 250 or something? I dont think 100 would be enough, ya know? some people can get that in a week or 2 ------------------

Hey Clif!
It sux with a capital F!
(Joke meant here!!!)The only way to treat infantile behavior, including mine is to IGNORE IT...
It takes two to fight or flame, and I am always amaised at the sensitivities exibited by people on the forum...
Just like you example with "My car RoCs, UrSsUx", if no one replies, there is no flame war, but so many people try to defend themselves, that the flames get fuel, not extiguished... It has been mentioned before, everyone needs to toughen up and let such comments get what they deserve, NO REPLIES!!!
Sure, we may feel bad for a while that someone attacked us personally, but what does it prove to rant away at such drivel??? If a child who is only trying to cause dissention does not get satisfaction of stirring up trouble, they go away on their own...
But if everyone replies with flames, that is what the child seeks and enjoys...
IT IS TIME TO STOP REPLYING TO TROLLS WHO FLAME!!! I know I sometimes put in a barb in a flaming topic, but I am trying to point out the folly of continuing to reply to a topic...
You have the power to close topics, and you use it if you feel it is out of hand, but some of the topics are fun, like the donut, even though there are flames at times... Course, I like to take flames aimed at me, reverse them and throw them back at the originator if it adds humor!!!
But then I never reply after that... Boy, I wish I could paragraph properly... And, oh ya, my sig died, wa up wid dat? ------------------
crash... The Fierowrecker

I'm for it. I'm still pretty new, but have been here long enough to see how this forum goes, and I like it. There are flame wars everywhere, you can't avoid them, but this system will be a good way to slow them down. But - make it waaay more than 100 posts.... I would say 3 or even 400 before someone can start rating others. That takes me out of the loop for awhile, but that's okay, I don't pay much attention to the flame war stuff as far as posting goes. Also, you should have veto power, if someone stacks votes against someone in particular, just in case. Great idea. You really *should* be proud of this forum. Its the online Fiero community I have been looking for since 1996. (I'm a slow looker, I guess.)  - Flamberge (No signature pic for me here, since it is the announcements forum.)

sounds like a good idea. I also do think you should up the limit a bit farther than 100. Like someone already said, 250 seems adequate . I think that just the real Fiero enthusiasts should be able to vote.
