I don't mind rating people that have been here a while so you can tell who is helpful and who just posts 1,000 posts a day. But, I wouldn't want to vote on new people. Maybe after 20 posts or so. Imagine if you come in and ask a stupid question and everyone votes you down like 1000 times. I just want to give new people some leeway (word looks odd).
From what I see on here, I try to take 2-5 people's opinion and average them. That way, you don't accidentally listen to a hardcore PVPer that says, twitch as fast as you can. Or listen to a quest only, never fought an elite mob person that says, no need to control alts, just stand there and auto-attack, the mob will die. Sometimes, I am just looking for info on what other people did. Maybe they are screwed up and not even close to my playstyle, but they had a good idea that works for me.
I guess I am not worried about who to listen to or which people are idiots. I average them out of the equation anyway.
Two ideas that I would love. Let me see when any of the threads that I posted in have new comments in them. I have to go to my profile, select posts and then go to each one to see manually and it just takes time. The other is let me choose how many posts I see on the front page. I look at that about 100 times more than go to each forum. If there are 11 new posts, I miss one and am not likely to hunt it down. Maybe a scroll bar on the side that shows 10 normally, but if you scroll down, you can see 10 more or so.
