Yes. If JimmyBob makes a post and JoeLuke votes the post as bad, JimmyBob's
rank has a 1/4 chance to go down, and JoeLuke's rank has a 1/4 chance to go
up. If JoeLuke votes JimmyBob's post as good, both their ranks have
respective 1/4 chances to go up.

their ratings...

Obi-Wan style grey hairs? I've got plenty. I could use some more Dumbledore
grey hairs though. :)
