Now we're back to voting on posts instead of users?

What exactly do you mean? There's 2 separate ratings?

That would be true if my suggestion was applied, but he is wanting (suggesting) both systems to be present at the same time. You can vote each post (it will sum up to the Rating) and you can leave comments about the user itself (1 only) - which will sum to the Comments count.

It seems like you're making this more complicated than it needs to be...
I Agree:

without the eBay-rating, you don't know about the late bad beheviour
without the mybb-rating, you could think this user is evil itself, and because of the high postcount, he's an evil spammer...
take the two together and you come to the right conclussion: He's good, but behaved bad lately...
Urhhh I don't think newbies (which will be the ones that will benefit the most out of this system because they are the ones who don't know the users) will spend 5 hours trying to descifrate and average every counter in order to get an idea of the character of the user

could easily be a text representation like in ur idea
That would make it better. However, I was talking about the current Mybb system (which was the one that was going to be applied) and not what Mybb system might be modded into. That's why I made the suggestion

, still I think it would be more fear for everyone to be able to rate each user with the comments system

I'd like it limited, because even with the "one vote per user" system, abusers could register new accounts and vote for their main accounts.
Blah, not so many people are crazy enough to do that
Anyway, by the voting being disabled for users of, let's say, less than 7 days of registered, this will discourage those kind of dodgy users (nobody will spend a year voting himself just to get a fancy rating).

Maybe admins/mods/elites could start off with positive reputations, so they would be allowed to vote, then as they vote for regular users, the ones that get positive reputations would automatically be allowed to vote, and that would just get the ball rolling, you know?
Hmmm good idea, but... THAT would be hard to code

Yes, definitely... maybe separate threads even...
Yeah, but the first issue to decide is whether to use none of the systems, mybb's, mine, something else, or both. Then we can get into another stage: the details of the system.
