IMO, if you make public ratings, there won't be that many negative rates. And we were talking about trusted users who might rate. Not 13375 who will rate out of rage.
Suggestion: If you want to make it for everyone, and you want to control all those maybe not very accurate POST-rates. Give the members the option to report rates! (permitting max. 4 reports per user/week). And let Elites (
) moderate them (if a wrong reputation has been spotted, it will be deleted or made neutral; neutral votes also work for post-rating
).
And as countermeasure: an extra-negative point for the author of that moderated reputation. (only elites would know who are the voters if anonymous).
This way Elites would have something to do (
) and perhaps more elites are needed
(this goes in order to avoid:
More open to abuse: if a voter hates a certain poster, he/she could give negative reputations to many of the poster's posts.)
