Not really, cause there's already the "rate user" option in our profiles...
But that's 1) crap, 2) no-one knows about it, 3) IIRC its going to be deleted....
My suggestion is to link that to the votes of the posts.... the more positive votes he got for his various posts, the more he, as a user, will be rated positive...

Again, they could choose. And of course, reputation should not be counted in T&T.
So... someone who spams a lot gets a negative vote... then the post is plitted to T&T... votes don't count there you say.... So, his negative votes are lost... what's the point in voting then?
The reason for summing up those points in my previous post was that IMO it's not that easy to say this or that... Everything you do/suggest should be considered... "What happens if..."
No system is fail-proof, but with lots of thinking and considering you can make it very good.... It all depends on how reliable you want it to make....
note: just thought of another point to think about:
If you only vote for posts. What happens with the "respected user" who doesn't post much (like Dwergs). He can only gather so many positive votes, cause he only has so many posts.... meaning: if you don't take the postcount into consideration into the voting-system then it isn't reliable (again).... (or solution, vote also on the person who posts, but link this also to the postvotes...)
