I can deffinetly see where noflash is coming from. But I also thing the rating and ignoring people under an X rating would be extremely useful as he stated.

My suggestion would be not 0 to 10 because I think its really hard to tell what a 7 or 3 or something else is. I suggest 3: Useless, intermediate, and brilliant. Have the system assign 0, 5, and 10 to each, and then average the value for the members.

Have the option of having a user only see "> X" posts and also have a per thread/per view option in every thread at the some where at the the bottom of the thread.


My fear is that in reality it will only be used by a selected number of members, and thus the rateings will only be based on those few members. I dont use the current thread rating, so I dont think I would rate threads or users if another one is created or the current one is modified, but I might use it for cleaning out bad threads for seeing only useful posts.
