we've had user ratings. i tell you it was a bad idea.

furthermore i think that most users "judge" others based on their posts, not on their post counts. i could name a few who have no clue about what they're writing and who think it's fun to blame and discriminate others.

ratings based on contributions is basically a good idea, but how to count them? someone could throw in a snippet here and there whilst others make full-featured stuff available. who rates these contributions?

also many people don't have the time to create stuff for the community but still post intelligent and helpful answers.
