Of course you do. And that doesn't surprise anyone coming from a mod. You guys would got the "top-notch" ratings due to "your buddy following", and brown-nosing from those trying to get "MVP" icons, custom avitars, and others would get screwed. Tell members what's fair about that?

I think this could be a good way to get the community to work together a bit more (which is why we are all here, yeah?)

No, that is wishful thinking. Sure, in an ideal world where everyone is always totally honest it may be slightly-better-than-a-disaster, but this is far from an ideal world. Quite the contrary; this would put members at each other's throats. If you think you have problems now....they will only get worse.
The community here works together just fine as it is. Why screw with it?
This BS would be thickening the line between "them" and "us" causing a DIVISIVE effect!

As for abuse, well most of you are pretty vigilant of spotting any wrongdoing on the forums and Admin and (especially!) the mods are pretty sharp on tackling the culprits.
|
Why should members (or mods) have to take on another task?? I'm sure we all are busy enough. The fact that you mention it is an admission that abuse will indeed happen.

I have been looking around the many forums I visit and none of them have a system like this (obviously correct me if I am wrong!) so that should be another reason to go for it.

Oh C'mon! Just because other forums don't have it is certainly NOT a reason to do it! Ever think they are not doing it for a GOOD reason??! Perhaps it was tried and was met with nothing but complaints, abuse and lost members for the reasons I outlined in my prior post?
Any type of rating or voting system at forums will eventually only be met with negative repercussions in the long run.
