I also fail to see the use in a user rating system here. Regulars know who they care to read posts from and new members don't care who makes the post as long as they get answers. The specific post is what matters, not the poster. And an indiviual post rating system pretty much unused, I mean how often do you even see posts get any star ratings as it is?

All I can see coming from it is more flamebait and drama.
I think the lack of thread rating we have now is a usability issue, not that people don't care, I think they just don't know how to rate threads.

I like /. rating system and I think it would work well here. I also think pulling armory data is a little biased to those who link their characters vs those who don't. The characters I have listed on the wiki are not all of my characters. I have toons in Naxx and one in Ulduar but I do not list them so while I know about those encounters and have even multiboxed in Naxx, you would not know it by my armory so I would be discounted. I could care less about my status personally, but I can see the system being abused in various ways.

While I like Ughmahedhurtz idea with the icons, but game icons are not the only thing. The whole reason this post was started was in response to a technology post. So do we need IT icons as well as game icons?
I think the armory integration stuff would be optional, and just to show off your team. I wouldn't base too many assumptions over armory data.
