i was just browsing versiontracker.com (i'm a vt addict) and looking at some software reviews. i like to look at user reviews to see if programs are halfway decent before i install them. i generally avoid anything below a 4, especially if there are a large number of reviews. invariably some of the reviews are helpful and some are not.
it would be nice if you could vote on posts (whether or not you think the post is valuable to others) and then that information would be used to build a system of weighted ratings. users who write better posts have more weight, and their ratings of others also hold higher value. it's kind of like pagerank i guess.
