There is a pack of wolfs in here.
They totally lack the gift of social skills, behaves like wolf puppets, always back each other and never permits any one to criticize the others in the pack.

We have this now. It's called the rec system. The only difference I see is that you can give what is essentially a negative rec with your system.
The problem with this system is the same as the problem with the current rec system. It assumes people will rec (or 🙂 ) positive, helpful posts, instead of the abusive, unhelpful posts. This is clearly not ...[text shortened]... ng for everyone, since any who do manage to rise above the pack will be brought down by others.
The higher a person's "respect" rating, the more weight their own 🙂 or 🙁 are given, perhaps.
That way it is a lot harder to abuse.
Originally posted by ChrisSounds like a popularity contest to me. And I think your adjustment would rather make it worse. It would mean that those with a high "popularity rating" get to decide who else shall get a high rating, while people with unpopular views or few friends in the forums would have even less influence than they would have without such an adjustment - being a minority, they wouldn't have much influence anyway. I don't like it at all.
