OK, I can see a problem.

Let's say that the sensible people have the idiots on ignore. The idiots would be able to give negative reputation to the sensibles but the sensibles wouldn't be able to give negatives to the idiots. This would result in the sensibles losing reputation to the point where their vote is no longer counted, while the idiots retain theirs. From there it'd snowball and the idiots would gain control of the reputation system.

Solution: Don't allow people to post negative reputation for people who have them on ignore (if someone has me on ignore I can only post positive feedback for him, not negative). If the system allows it, of course.

By definition, 49.9999% of the population are of below average intelligence. Hence, a NuLabour government. Three times.

Users on ignore list: Akria, Besoeker, Clippo, david H, Ian C.
