No thanks! We don't have the numbers to work averages like Slashdot does, so it's just going to result in the fulfillment of personal vendettas and unpopular opinions getting buried, regardless of the validity of the content (ask ThoughtFix sometime about the rating of his blog posts on Planet).

Dealing with this sort of stuff is a moderator's job.

we have the maemo planet though which already has a concept of thumbs up and thumbs down.
ratings are good, a user feels like they are participating if they can help cleanup the mess as well as just patting them on the back.

Well, *I* thought it was funny... an even more obfuscated private joke (for new users) would be to use a variety of past and existing nicknames, from lowly trolls to community superstars, to rank users - from "darius-class" all the way up to "GA-class" for instance, with all the shades of grey in between.

Joke aside, I could even see a couple of qualities in such a system, because it could make for *a lot* of possible rankings without having to invent anything at all : everyone's ranking would be more fun and more lively, changing often and indefinitely - one month "qwerty12-class", the next "qole-class"... and it also would make it very clear to all that ranking is there for kicks, not to actually mean anything :-)

I'd prefer to just get rid of them altogether. Post & thanks counts (which are displayed anyway) are much more precise and transparent than any pecking order labels assigned by arbitrary post thresholds.

I think it's all pretty unnecessary. I don't use labels to help me decide who to trust.

If that^ was the winner it would be an excellent way to raise additional "server" funds. Offer a premium membership subscription for a fee that gives the subscriber the ability to change, or add a custom title.

I know I would pay a couple of bucks for any title that doesn't have the words "General Antilles" in it.
