with good opinions up and the loud guys just blowing off steam down. Without
ratings, whoever posts the most often gets seen the most. With ratings, I
could (eventually) tell the system to only show highly rated articles,
reguardless of who posts them. Heck, if you wrote your own client, you could
even put your personal bias for or against certain people (For example, if I
value Todd's opinions over yours, in my client Todd gets an automatic +10 and
you get an automatic -10). (1)
