Combining this with a politics board is just asking for trouble. A user-rating system is just too damn easy to abuse - look at Ebay's feedback mechanism if you want examples. I'd bet more than half of the negative feedback on there is from people seeking petty revenge rather than reporting the true facts about a transaction. |
Good point, Shakran. I tend to assume altruism in others, much to my regular disappointment. Maybe something like the Slashdot Karma score then, where as your kharma score rises you gain moderator points which you can use to 'mod up' or 'mod down' other people's comments, and the moderators get 'meta-moderated' by other people for fairness in their original decisions. It's a system that works reasonably well in a much larger group of people.
