Ahm, btw, a think that should be an advantage fro the posting system:
Member-evolution: If some member was 1337 at the beginning, maybe s/he's gonna change with the time (what happens quite often, people get used to the forums and so on).
If you already rated this member (member-system), it's very unlikely that you re-rate him/her unless s/he did a big change. In the vote-per-post system, as you keep rating posts the tendence of the rating is constantly changing. So, if the member is evolving (positively), in a way you just don't notice, your ratings for him/her are getting better and better (in my system, the average would grow slightly ending up with a real rating that shows my overall impression about that member even after his/her evolution).

Hope you got me (my English is getting worse since I'm here... )

1 big disadvantage of this... The users has to keep voting... I don't see this happen... for example, I don't vote on every post I see on the forums. Heck since the trial-reputations system was implemented I only vote for a few posts (and tbh, mainly bad votes for posts which gave wrong advise (they could "harm" a user), and 1 or 2 good ones which were more then the regular "discussion" and/or "advise" post (lengthly good posts with many and good arguments and explainations) I realy can be bothered to vote for 1 out of 10 posts tbh... voting for a user is quite different, you vote once... and when the user changes his beheviour or something, you may vote again....
