And the "offending" posts remain. I really fail to see any real similarities.

While I think Rich's idea is a good one in theory, I think it's going to create a big ol mess. New people aren't going to understand it..heck, there's people who have been on here for a long time now and still don't understand the karma or trader ratings system. And of course, like anything else, there WILL be people that abuse it.....either purposely or out of ignorance at the way it's set up. Some people get mighty pissy just over "karma"....just imagine what they are going to do when they get warning points.
