i think a "rate user" addon for the forum would also spark more arguements than would be worth.. Also remember these things need moderation...
If it was a thing that's a scale 1-5 and 5 is good, 1 is bad... it's very easy for someone who doesnt even KNOW a member to get peed off with over 1 post and give them a 1..... if the member in question doesnt have many ratings then this is gunna bring their overall rating down by at least one notch.... 2 people do this... the member starts to wonder whats wrong with them..... and then we'd have to start a Councelling Corner forum......
